Forbidden Rose

Forbidden Rose is the second fragrance by French-Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. It was released in July 2010.
Development
The fragrance took two years to develop. Like her previous scent, Black Star, there is a removable ring on the neck of the bottle. It features notes of red apple, winepeach, black pepper, lotusflower, heliotrope, shellflower, praline agreement, sandalwood, and vanilla. So far, the line features various EDP sizes, a body lotion and a shower gel.
Promotion
Commercial
The commercial for the fragrance was directed by Fred Garcon and filmed in Santa Barbara, CA. Lavigne released Forbidden Rose's sister fragrance, Wild Rose, in 2011. The concept and design was very similar however the fragrance had a sweeter scent and was tinted pink rather than purple.
Critical reception
Fragrantica thought the scent to be "mysterious and magical." CelebrityClothingLine.com called it more sophisticated than Black Star. Now Smell This said it was "a cautious fragrance, overall, and not particularly 'edgy'." IzeStuff.com thought that "with its hints of both fantasy and fearlessness, Forbidden Rose comes to life, like a fairytale."
