If you want a classy, mature feminine scent for autumn or winter, this is it - it's so delicious and sweet, with pear and bergamot in the opening. Sparkling with orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and tuberose in it. I work as a florist when I’m not writing for CC, and it’s finally tuberose season, so this perfume review came at the perfect time. The aroma of this fragrance is undoubtedly tuberose-heavy (I clearly love perfumes that contain an overdose of tuberose). The base features patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla, which I definitely notice and appreciate. I’d describe it as a creamy floral... but spiked with fresh pear. It's pretty on the skin, and as it's a big projector, she lasts a long time. I spray once near my wrist and can smell it from arm's length away. L'interdit is the kind of perfume you want to keep smelling over the day or night.

When I think of L'interdit, I think of a woman who frequently travels to London for business — she stays in the nicest hotels and always carries a Hermes Birkin bag.
