    Tabu is a beautiful retro perfume. I'm not going to rehash notes or get all poetic. I do feel compelled to suggest the following to the "It stinks/stank/stunk!" crowd: Maybe some perfumes...

    My first encounter with Tabu was a disappointing one. After reading such glowing reviews here and on other sites, I was intriguied. I took myself down to my local Big Lots to try the "New Dana"...

    Firstly, this is not a fragrance I spray all over like a body spray. It is a fragrance I dab on my wrists, behind my ears, between my breasts, you get the idea. My body chemistry is extremely...

    I bought some last year on a whim and while still in the bottle, unless you know how wonderful it smells, you'll think it's ghastly. I sprayed it on knowing what I was in store for: Oranges &...

    I've been wearing Tabu on and off for over 20 years. I agree with everyone who says use only the smallest amount. It can be very overpowering indeed. Please spare your co-workers and don't wear it...

    This is my #1 all-time favorite scent. I had a roommate in my early 20's that introduced me to this and it has been my favorite every since. It is a subtle musky smell. I get compliments from...

    Seeing the recent reviews here convinced me that Tabu was one worth revisiting. My mom had a large bottle of this when I was still at home and definitely too young to appreciate it. At the time I...

    My friend's mother used to wear this. It smelled of massive body odor! Her bottle was always fresh. She must have gone through a bottle every month! I tested this recently and it still smells...

    I have completely changed my opinion on Tabu. I used to hate it as the most godawful vile stuff. And now I love it! I can't explain it but perhaps it's because as Mexxie says below, it's a...

    I have the most vivid memory of Tabu. I was in the 8th grade. It was the mid 70's. There was a very pretty blonde girl, I think her name was Donna that use to always come late to class. She was...

    On impulse, I picked up a bottle of this from the drugstore. I remember ads for it in the 80's, but I was too young to wear it then. It was a familiar scent, but I wasn't sure how it would be on...

    I cannot think of another perfume that smells as repulsive as Tabu. Maybe I am overly senstive to it but everytime I catch a whiff of it--I immediately want to vomit. I've had to change seats on...

    Tabu, if you were the product of Serge Lutens or Ava Luxe, the world would love you. Instead, you are synonomous with chintz and cheap, and lurk on the lower shelves of mass market stores. Tabu is...
