Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

The luminous white florals and fruity top make it radiant for spring, while the creamy tuberose, vanilla, and dense patchouli-vetiver base give it enough warmth and depth for fall and winter evenings.

The bold floral signature and strong sillage make it a standout for romantic occasions and evening wear, while its intensity may be too commanding for office or sport settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A luminous yet forbidden bouquet, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum dazzles with radiant tuberose and orange blossom, drenched in juicy pear and a zing of bergamot and ginger. The heart is an opulent white floral explosion, enveloped by creamy, narcotic jasmine sambac. As it dries down, a sensual, sweet earthiness emerges, with patchouli and vetiver weaving through a soft vanilla and ambroxan haze. The result is a modern, addictive floral-woody fragrance that is both elegant and subversive, leaving a memorable trail.
