About This Perfume
Think spiced apple brandy with creamy tonka sweetness: that is Arabiyat Prestige Forbidden. It opens with apple, cognac and liqueur, moves into candied fruits and cedarwood and settles on musk, sugar syrup and tonka bean. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits casual days and date nights. Released in 2026.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fruity fragrances.

Is Arabiyat Prestige Right for You?
Best for: shoppers who want a warm, gourmand-woody house with a clear community favorite (Marwa) and room to trade up toward the $190 ceiling for a more prestige-styled release. Sample first if: you're drawn to the higher-priced end; check the specific concentration, since price varies widely across the catalogue. Skip if: you want a fresh, citrus-forward everyday scent; the house's center of gravity is warm and sweet.
