What does L'Interdit Parfum smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though daily wear is not far off. It reads feminine, and many also call it modern.

It opens with nashi pear and ginger for a fruity lift. The heart is a dense bouquet of jasmine sambac, mimosa, tuberose and orange blossom, and bitter almond pulls it towards something creamy and sweet. In the base, vetiver, benzoin and patchouli leave a warm, resinous trail. Xerjoff 400 and Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Parfum Intense have a close profile.
