Sugar Clones

"### Scent Breakdown Forbidden Sugar comes on strong – a burst of syrupy sweetness. The marshmallow and honey are immediately present, maybe a touch more artificial than Franck Boclet's Sugar. The cassis note is dialed down significantly, making it less tart. The heart is where this clone shines. That caramel and vanilla combo is smooth, almost buttery, and pretty close to the original. I'd say about 87% similar in the core experience. The dry down is where it departs further, with a stronger orange blossom that leans slightly soapy, a noticeable difference from Sugar's deeper musk. Still pleasant, just...different. ### Bottom Line If you crave that sweet, caramel-vanilla vibe of Franck Boclet Sugar but don't want to drop serious cash, Forbidden Sugar is a decent alternative. Is it a perfect dupe? No. Does it scratch the itch? Absolutely. the synthetic edges are forgivable. If you're hyper-sensitive to artificial notes, this might not be for you. This clone gets the job done. ### Wear time & Sillage Okay, let's be real. This isn't beast mode. Forbidden Sugar projects moderately for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. I get about 5-6 hours of wear time. Reapplication is necessary if you want that initial sugary punch throughout the day. You get what you pay for."
