About the Product

Tabu Perfume by Dana was created in 1932, proving that femininity stands the test of time. This supremely feminine fragrance is reminiscent of old Hollywood style and sophistication. Tabu has earned its name as a signature scent for women for nearly a hundred years and is still as relevant today as it was when it was first launched.

Fragrance Family:

Floral

Scent Type:

Amber floral

Notes:

This perfume opens on generous notes of spicy bergamot, fresh lemon and basil, tarragon and juicy orange. Following are soft floral heart notes which include jasmine, lily of the valley, rose and narcissus followed by ylang-ylang and heliotrope. This fragrance is grounded in earthy base notes which includepatchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood and cedar blended with soft creamy musk, vanilla, benzoin and vetiver.

Suggested Use

For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

Hi everyone, Anya here and today I'm reviewing an inexpensive classic of perfumery, Tabu by Dana. First premiered in 1932 and is famous for its ad showing a violinist passionately kissing a woman playing the piano. The scent is extremely warm and spicy making it fall and winter favorite. The spices are joined by a sweet creaminess created by neroli, ylang-ylang, and other florals. The floral does not describe the scent at all. Overall it's a fantastic buy for the price especially for nights when you want to be your most provocative. That's all for today. Remember to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

As Years Go By

I started using Tabu when I was in High School in the 40s--after I married, my husband always knew this was his "get out of trouble" gift and I continued wearing it all of our 57 years we were married,now these last years without him , I continue to wear it and it somehow keeps us together in

Not the Tabu I remember

Was very happy to find Tabu, but extremely disappointed with the product. Does not last at all.....very watered down from the original. Used to wear this eons ago and got so many compliments.....especially from men! It was a very heavy, very long lasting perfume and it came in a "Jeannie" type
...
bottle covered in a black rubbery type material. And it smelled even better after a day's wear! I would put it on an hour before going to work so it wouldn't be so strong. Tabu isn't for everyone, but having said that, now that it's a much lighter fragrance, it may surprise you. Before buying,I would find a store that may carry it and sample before buying. And if it's not your taste, no need to put rude remarks about it....it just wasn't for you. I don't like patchouli. I think this perfume brings back a lot of memories for us "older folk" and that's why we're so happy to find it! It really is too bad it didn't keep up with other fragrances that are still available because I believe the comments wouldn't be so severe if this product were readily available. Love Tabu,but unfortunately the company changed something which didn't need changing.....too bad.

I WILL be buying this product again and again I

Have never used TABU before as I could never afford it. But thanks to FragranceX; I was able to purchase a bottle and now has become my signature scent. The fragrance that eminates reminds me of those moments in front of a emberred fire on a cold night sharing the night with the one U love. I plan on buying this over and over for the rest of my life! Delivery prompt and prices are set so u don't have to own a country to purchase.
