I remember when I was younger I thought this perfume was just NASTY. But now I love it! What the heck? I think as I mature into my 30s I start appreciating more dramatic perfumes. I'm really...

A few years ago, I was considered a wall flower, a shrinking violet, the "shy girl" that dated losers. I dyed my hair unflattering colors and wore sporty, sweet, obnoxiously common scents while...

Tabu is one of my favorite fragrances. I own many, and most are more expensive than this, but I still come back to Tabu every year when the weather gets cooler. Tabu has a lot of things going...

Yeah, I wore this in high school too, but oddly everyone liked it on me. Even my mother! Yet I did get sick of it, and as I discovered the whole big world of perfumery, abandoned it. But I have...

I went through a "dark" phase in high school, and I wore this perfume. All the time. Unashamed, unaware of people's reactions to it. And in summer! I can't even imagine how many people I offended...

My aunt used to wear this when I was a child so it always makes me think of her when I smell it. I think she must have bathed in the stuff or either it must just be that loud when you wear it. I...

I got this recently in a swap and love it! I really like the warm amber, vanilla scent. Not too sweet or cloying and nothing like the new fragrances that come out that are too sweet and fruity,...

I'll start off with a haiku: Tabu. Oh, Tabu. Cheap hookers wear this perfume. I can only dream. Let's pretend that Tabu is a hooker. She's not the cracked-out ones I see on any episode of...

Surprisingly delicious scent once it settles down. Based on reviews, I put a little on a cotton ball and dabbed a little on my chest. WOW the MAN Magnet claims are so real. It must be the...

There's a lot going on in this fragrance. Spices. Honey. Patchouli. Baroque flowers. Appallingly busy and overwhelming at first, it dries down to a warm amber-patchouli-vanilla base. I would say...

Tabu is actually a nostalgic fragrance for me, but not in a good way. When I was a child back in the early 80's, my father gave my mother a bottle of Tabu for their anniversary. I don't know if she...

I don't know if they watered it down or if they changed the formula to a cheap and ugly concoction. I HOPE NOT!!!!! If they really did that - this would be idiotic!!! The "original" TABU is a...

Really nasty topnotes, nice for about 30 minutes, and then down to a powdery, too-sweet, ambery type fragrace. Aack, I really hate it.

I bought the gift set (lotion and cologne) a few months ago because I've been on a vintage perfume binge lately. The scent is just too 'old' to me. It's very powdery and nauseating. I thought I'd...

This is such a beautiful perfume. It's warm, spicy, powdery, and perfect for winter. If Tabu sold for $150 a bottle people would be all over it - it only has noses turning up because it's cheap....

A soft, warm oriental, powdery and with definite root beer notes as others have said. I would like this a whole lot more if I hadn't overdone it as a child with a friend's mother's bottle: and...
