What does L'Interdit (2018) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, with spring and winter close behind and summer less favoured. It is most often matched with nights out and evenings, while leisure and daily wear also have a place. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot and ginger. The heart is orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose, with fruity and sweet tones softening that floral weight. In the base, vetiver and patchouli lay down a woody ground. Givenchy Désinvolte and Memo Paris Marfa have a close profile.
