TABU

Launched in 1932 by Dana, Tabu is a foundational Oriental Floral that opens with a sharp, spicy blend of orange, coriander, neroli, bergamot, and spices. The heart is a dense floral bouquet of cloves, ylang-ylang, narcissus, jasmine, and rose, while the base anchors with amber, civet, benzoin, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar. This is a rich, animalic composition with a powdery finish, dominated by warm spicy and amber accords.

Collectors of vintage orientals will appreciate Tabu's bold, unapologetic character. It suits those who enjoy deep, resinous scents with a musky, animalic edge. Ideal for evening wear or cool weather, it makes a statement. The civet and oakmoss in the base are particularly prized in older formulations, so batch variations are worth noting. This is not a shy fragrance; it demands confidence and a taste for the dramatic.

Dana 於 1932 年推出的 Tabu，是東方花香調的經典之作。前調以橙、芫荽、橙花、佛手柑與香料交織出辛香開場；中調是丁香、依蘭、水仙、茉莉與玫瑰的濃郁花香；基調則以琥珀、麝香、安息香、檀香、廣藿香、橡苔、香根草與雪松收尾，並帶有靈貓香與麝香的動物感。整體溫暖辛辣，帶粉質與木質底韻。

適合追求濃烈、性感與復古氣息的用家。晚間場合或涼爽天氣最能展現其深度。由於配方歷經變遷，老版本更受收藏家青睞，選購時宜留意批次差異。
