What do reviewers say about Sweet Taboo and Herod?
Not a safe choice. Not trying to be. Sweet Taboo is for the hour when rules soften, when the spice on your wrist is the only chaperone. Cardamom, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee. It earns its name.Sweet Taboo
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
