Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Interdit Intense Eau de Parfum

A narcotic, shadowy tuberose wrapped in vanilla and spice, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense is not for the timid. It commands a room with addictive florals, dark warmth, and midnight sensuality.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sensuous Noir Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Sensuous Noir is a bold, dark rebel from Estee Lauder, packing a huge pine-patchouli punch. An evening showstopper that's unapologetically strong.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Interdit Intense Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Intense white florals, creamy vanilla, and spicy-gourmand facets make this ideal for fall and especially winter, where its power and warmth shine. Spring is possible for evening wear but the richness overwhelms in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Best suited for seductive date nights and formal occasions due to its bold, enveloping trail. Its strength and opulence can overwhelm in close office or sport settings but adds drama to evening events.

Sensuous Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense, dark accords make it completely unsuitable for the office, though some brave souls attempt it. Sensuous Noir truly shines after dark; it's a perfect fit for romantic dates or formal evening events where its captivating sillage can be appreciated.
