A bite of ripe pear, a deep inhalation of flowers blossoming in the sun, an eternal summertime. In Forbidden Bloom, Mabelle O’Rama pairs the aromas of two sensuous white flowers: creamy, elegant gardenia (which grows abundantly in her native Lebanon) and frangipani, a tropical species with hints of fruit and spice in its scent. Forbidden Bloom is lush yet gorgeously wearable, like an invisible flower crown. And once again, Mabelle adds a storytelling element by imagining the garden of Astarte, the ancient Middle Eastern goddess of love and war. What if these two flowers grew side by side in Astarte’s garden and were drawn to each other in a forbidden botanical attraction? Would they entwine, to create a fragrance even more divine and intoxicating than their individual scents?
