Desperate Housewives Forbidden Fruit by Coty

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.

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.

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. :(
