Desperate Housewives Forbidden Fruit Coty for women

I grabbed this out of a bargain bucket with the intention of giving it to my daughter.....but I tried it and its really rather nice!! (so I`m having it lol) good for a day when you are not too sure.Give it time though-smells really odd when you first spray it.

I didnt like this one at all.

I didnt get any fruit or floral-
actually cant even describe what it smelled like.

thought maybe the bottle I got was "bad".

But then stopped and thought about the fact that Coty scents dont seem to be nice like they used to.
I used to enjoy so many and now even with the ones I really liked in the past- they all seem different and smell extremely cheaper then they are they .

Floral on me,I like the dry down to sandalwood and vanilla. I've paid more for less. Mad-Lainey's review persuaded me to invest and enjoy.

I got the 3.4 at a Mom and Pop store for only!!!$2.00 Dirt Cheap! I like the smell it last quite a while it goes on fruity but dries to a light Floral quite Nice!

Jucy perfume, I like it :)

I bought this perfume because of its nice price, nice bottle and good revews. I can say that it's not exactly the type of perfume I like to wear. It smells like a medium qualit, usual and for every day use perfume. It reminds me of a perfume we used to wear with my mother, when I was a teenager, called 'Joie' (by Clochard). I am sure that my mother is going to adore it, so I will give it to her in a week or so, when I'll go and visit her. It will evoce memories. :)

smells awesome. yummy
will wear it a lot

I had read information/other reviews about this perfume and thought it sounded intriguing w/ notes that would be appealing to my taste in scent. I looked for it and found box after box on clearance at the store. I tried the sample and it is SO YUMMY! I don't usually go for super duper fruity scents, but this is not like candy fruits or a smoothie scent! Picture over ripe lush fruit like figs, plums, and some berries that are heady and rich...more like wine. I bought two boxes and took them to Mexico with me to use on our vacation's the past two summers. It has been the perfect scent to use and later has called up wonderful olfactory memories of our time as a family. Give it a try...it is different than any thing I have used so I can't really compare it to any other perfumes I am familiar with. Cheers!

Oh, my!
Gorgeous sister of Kenzo Flower, i swear it smells nearly identical!
Creamy floral, not really fruity, unless we count the first 5 minutes.
Very warm and most suitable for winter and cool evenings, it may be a bit too much for summer hot days :-)
For such an inexpensive perfume it really does smell lovely - the staying power is slightly better than Kenzo Flower and the sillage is gentle but noticeable!
If Ghost Serenity and Kenzo Flower rocks your boat, you have to try DH!
For that low price you would be crazy not to :-)
The bottle is very simple, practical and does look nice on my dresser table.
Aside Shania by Stetson, it is one of my most wonderful ridiculously cheap buys!
Definitely worth trying!

P.S. It lasts forever on my clothes :-)

Very nice perfume but not one of my signature scents either. This is very pretty though. Fruity and floral.

I used to wear forbidden fruit and received many compliments which really surprised me. But what put me off was not the perfume because I liked it how it smelled on me but that I was asked what I was wearing and I had to say "Forbidden fruit".
Great perfume, great price nice bottle and packaging but shame about the name.

I like this it smells like strong fruity potpourri.It has a nice scent to be so cheap.I'd wear it!

It's cheap and smells gorgeous. but strictly for day.

Was expecting something a little more 'naughty and mischievious'.
This doesnt live up to its name, nothing forbidden or remotly cheeky about it.

They should have named it "Baked Delights by Martha Stewart" instead.

hahaha what you are wearing ? .....mmm i don't remember ...i sprayed something fast ( stewie griffin )

I was given this perfume as a gift, and thought "thanks, but I'll put that in my cupboard and never use it".
I mean, it was called Desperate Housewives! How good could it be?
However out of politeness I sprayed some on, and was pleasantly surprised.
It's not something I'd wear everyday, but it's not bad for a cheaper perfume.
To me, it smells like lollies at first.... pink musk sticks and milk bottles. (sorry if you don't get the reference, it might just be an Aussie thing)
Like kay_li13, I don't get any fruit notes except for maybe a fleeting glimpse of apple, that quickly disappears.
What remains on me is the vanilla notes and the ylang-ylang/jasmine florals.
It isn't heavy and cloying, and doesn't smell of chemicals like some cheaper perfumes.
It's a bit like the many vanilla perfumes that came and went in the eighties, but not as strong.
I wear it shopping, on placement, to classes... and of course when I visit the person who gave it to me ;-)
It's nothing special, it's similar to others out there, but well worth the money for a day perfume.
And I have to agree with Tala; the branding did it no favours. In fact, it put me off so much I wouldn't have tried it if the gift giver hadn't insisted I try it then and there.
If you want a light, floral/vanilla scent that's not too expensive and will last your working day, go for it. You too might be pleasantly surprised!

This is actually a very nice perfume. Too bad for the name. It is not a kind of perfume you want to leave behind in the powder room. The dry down is very similar to burberry and the initial spray smells a little like delicious by Donna Karen. I wear it sometimes and enjoy it. But I seriously think the name and association with the show was what made did wonderful perfume not to sell.
I have found some bargain prices on this one and really love mine. I just wont leave it around when my mother in law is visiting.

... Someone misnamed this perfume because the floral scent was so overbearing that I could not understand why the word "fruit" was anywhere in the title. I was very disappointed by this because I thought a perfume titled "forbidden fruit" would smell delicious, irresistible, and unique. However, I didn't smell peach or apple in the top notes, instead I got this really strong bouquet of flowers, like dried popouri flowers that you can get from the drugstore. Would not purchase this. :(
