Absolue Forbidden Rose: the audacity of a rose that should not exist In 2025, Lancôme radically breaks with the powdery rose delicacy of its universe by unveiling Absolue Forbidden Rose. Conceived as the nocturnal counterpart to Idôle, this new olfactory chapter is signed by the trio of perfumers Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadine Le Garlantezec and Nicolas Beaulieu. At its heart: an absolute black rose extracted under high pressure, nestled in a saffron-praline setting and encircled by an oud-velvet sillage. Imagine a rose picked at midnight in a forbidden garden, flanked by embers of spice and a shower of strobe lights—a fragrance for those who fully embrace the forbidden.
