Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Interdit Tubéreuse Noire EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Forbidden Tuberose EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Interdit Tubéreuse Noire by Givenchy - a floral fragrance led by Tuberose, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Interdit Tubéreuse Noire

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Best For:
Date Formal

Big smoky white floral with an earthy drydown reads as evening wear. It is too distinctive and too projective for an open plan office.

Forbidden Tuberose

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
