L'Interdit Tubéreuse Noire Eau de Parfum vs New York 5th Avenue Extrait
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A limited edition that takes the house tuberose and chars it. Smoky, sulphurous white flower over coffee and damp patchouli, with none of the original's polish. The most interesting L'Interdit flanker of the lot.
Pearl Fragrances copies the tuberose-gardenia-jasmine heart of Bond No. 9's Saks Fifth Avenue for Her, a big white-floral scent, though it comes through less rich and rounded than the original's tropical, coconut-tinged version.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Roasted coffee, patchouli and a smoky sulphurous tuberose want cool air behind them. Warm weather amplifies the animalic base and flattens the orange blossom lift.
Occasions
Big smoky white floral with an earthy drydown reads as evening wear. It is too distinctive and too projective for an open plan office.
Seasons
A rich white floral suits warmer weather and evening occasions best.
Occasions
Bold and glamorous, better suited to a date or formal event than quiet daytime wear.
