Tabu

My recent bottle of Tabu smells like men's cologne. I had to return them to Walmart and Rite Aid...apparently other complaints that something is wrong...doesn't even smell like normal...smells like a man's cologne. Please tell me why they changed somethin

The Tabu that I ordered smells different???

I use everyday and I am not crazy about the bottle I purchased. The Tabu in the Pyramid Bottle is my favorite for the last 50+ years and would very much order that one. I hate the thought of changing fragrances now, but I just might have too!😩😩

Still love it but fragrance has changed some

I love Tabu and have worn it for years but I have noticed that it doesn't smell the same as it used to. My girls in the school band used to hug me and tell me I smelled like "home". I don't know why they have to mess with something that is already perfect. I still get compliments but not like I used to. It is still my favorite and I don't want to change but it's getting harder to find. I hope they keep making it.

One of my favourite perfumes

I have always loved this perfume . I have been using it for about 50 years ( as well as other perfumes ) and will continue to do so. Not a floral scent , it's more spicy - I love it so much I wear it everyday. I am delighted that I was able to buy it again from perfume.com

Best prices!

I have been wearing taboo since I was a teenager some 50 plus years ago. It has become my signature sent and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find it at a decent price for so long. I have just recently ordered and received four bottles. I couldn't be happier!

Thanks to Perfume.com

Tabu has been my personal fragrance for at least 40 years now, maybe longer. It used to be so easy to find, but has recently become more difficult to find locally. I am thankful that I can now find it 90% of the time on Perfume.com. I am much too old to find a new favorite scent, plus I still love Tabu as much now as I did when I first started using it.

One of My Most Favorite Scents

Very strong scent, actually lasted all day! Very exotic, spicy and sensual. Just like I remember. And the bottle was a good size, a great value! I have gotten compliments at work when I wear Tabu. And once from a cab driver! :)

I LOVE IT.SEVERAL YEARS BACK I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GOING TO STOP MAKING IT.

Tabu: A Classic Reformulated

Tabu was created in 1932 and advertised as the "Forbidden Fragrance". Jean Carles produced this for a Lady of the Night. It became popular in the 70's when fragrances were limited to Tabu, Timeless, and Crepe de Chine. When my sister wore this on her nights out, the tone was heavy, dense, and smoldering. The scent evolved into a strapping, seductive aura dominated by bergamot, clove, rose, patchouli, cedar, and musk. Todays reformulation is toned down. I'll classify it as having citrus-floral-woody accords. It is highly provocative, romantic and cozy, but with a substantial spine. Tabu's introduction is marked by bergamot, clove, coriander, and orange which gives it it's brilliance. The lady then moves effortlessly into a hint of licorice, jasmine, and rose to make her heart beat. The completion is complemented by a dense powdery dry down that burns with cedar, patchouli, moss, and musk. A true toned-down classic. And, I love it!!! Scent Life: 8-12 hrs.; Fragrance Appeal: 10/10; Sillage: Moderate.
