The review
Forbidden Plum (Solid Fragrance) scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Plum Japonais.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Plum Japonais's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is plum, saffron and cinnamon at first, osmanthus, camellia and immortelle at its heart and benzoin, vanilla and oud at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
