L'Interdit Eau de Parfum

Estaba fragancia estaba entre mi lista de deseos ya que había visto demasiadas reseñas que hablaban sobre la elegancia y lo floral blanco de este perfume, ya que en lo particular amo las flores blancas aromáticas y aquí especialmente se destacan los nardos, primero debo decir que esta fragancia aunque es muy preciosa y muy rica no es para cualquiera puede llegar a ser abrumadora para las personas las cuales no toleran los nardos porque aquí se siente muchísimo el nardo un nardo súper rico súper natural pero elegante con presencia con un acorde sutil de vainilla que lo hacen un tanto dulce y embriagador y al mismo tiempo algo sofisticado, lo veo usándolo una mujer de 25 años en delante pero no cualquier mujer una mujer que le gusta destacar porque tiene muchísima presencia este perfume, cuando huelo este perfume pienso en un funeral de alguien muy importante donde hay mujeres muy elegantes que visten joyas de alto costo puedo visualizar la madera del féretro y las coronas de flores por doquier quizás por eso muchos hablen del olor a velorio que evoca este aroma pero no es un velorio cualquiera es el velorio de una reina de un rey de alguien importante donde hay lujo y personas millonarias. Amo esta fragancia y es una de mis favoritas. En mi piel solamente destaca la flor de nardo y la vainilla lo cual para mí ya es una mezcla riquísima no le siento las demás notas, siento que es un perfume que puede ser para una cita para ir a un evento formal para hacerte destacar algo serio no la veo para nada para el día a día no es tan versátil a pesar de tener una nota floral ahora que viene la primavera creo que no es buena idea este perfume aunque puede llegar a hacerlo si no hace bastante calor pero lo veo más como para climas no tan fríos pero sí donde hay un airecito sutil donde se siente una frescura del atardecer algo así.

“For the Love of Tuberose” I’m not shy about a man’s admiration for a feminine fragrance. Or sharing an honest male perspective . Or my admiration in vintage women 😍 Such an elegant beautiful art. And Audrey Hepburn — She’s timeless, elegant, unapologetically herself —She’s the definition of timeless beauty.There’s something about her grace, her quiet confidence —the kind of woman who doesn’t have to try, she just is. Even her taste in perfume not only shows she was ahead of her time. But also shows that true style never fades. L'Interdit is a scent she loved that carries that same power as it did in 1957 : bold, delicate, unforgettable. And this is why I put my nose to it and fell in love with it. So Ofcourse I bought it for my wife. This tuberose bomb is more than a fragrance — it’s confidence in bloom. Soft, floral, and hypnotic, yet strong enough to leave its mark. Men notice it,Ohhhh yes — but it’s meant to make you feel radiant, empowered, alive. I bought this one and Good Girl for my wife, and she trusted me — and now she has a small arsenal she loves. Even if it’s not her everyday choice, I notice when she wears this. It’s classic, it’s sensual, and it reminds me: confidence, elegance, and joy are always magnetic. I will tell you all the same thing I told my wife Ladies, wear what makes you happy. Spray it where it makes you feel confident, not where someone else wants it. Fragrance is your quiet armor, your personal magic. So, smell good. Not for me, not for anyone else — but for yourself. Because when you do, the world can’t help but notice. ❤️

I am not the target audience for such a fragrance. Heavy-set, dare I say 'bear-ish' man. But boy I love this fragrance. yes, Audrey Hepburn is my idol so of course I had to test some l'interdit. And I don't really buy in to scents being gendered, it's mostly just personal preferences. I will say, this is likely not the same formula from years gone by but either way. And actually, I think the EDT and EDP lean more on the cusp of unisex but that's my view. Similar to my review of the EDT, the run down is basically 'that's the stuff'. However, the EDP is much more aggressive, projection is higher and invites a much stronger jasmine note. Tuberose is the core but the jasmine, if you like that note, is delicious in the mix. It is stronger, as you'd hope, so might not be one for daily wear but killer for evenings, holidays etc. I found that @mhigdon below has a really accurate (to me) description of the scent - think the only thing I could add is that the wet note is a bit like wet dog which is similar to the EDT. I assure you not in a gross way, like a comforting way! In my books 9.5/10 - though it's not something I would wear every day, it is definitely one I would reach to for a night out, special occasions or just wanted to feel a bit more elegant.

My designer signature scent! If you love timeless, classic fragrances that are easy to reach and work for day or night this is the one. I work from home and wear it while working as well as for a night out. It’s a bit mature (I’m 43) so it’s not my go to for fun outings when I want to be a bit more playful but it’s such a beautiful fragrance that works for most occasions. It reminds me of the classy, older sister of Armani My Way that’s confident and put together. In my opinion the notes blend so well that the florals, fruity and woody notes melt into each other so there isn’t one that dominates. I’m not always a fan of heavily floral or woody fragrances so this one has impressed me in how well done it is. You can’t go wrong with any of the L ‘ Interdits but I recommend testing them all out on the skin because they’re each different. This may not be the most popular in the fragrance community and social media but it’s beloved by those that wear it and a frequent signature scent. I wear it often after having it a few months and have barely made any dent. A little goes a long way without being cloing. I wouldn’t recommend in the summer, it’s perfect for the colder weather and lasts for hours especially on clothes.

This fragrance has perfectly captured what everyone has been trying to do for the last 10 or so years. It's La Vie est Belle but earthier and classier. It's Elie Saab times a million. It's Jimmy Choo without the sickly. It's Black Orchid without the headache. I first smelt this on a colleague on a train and by the end of the journey I knew I had to have this fragrance. I couldn't wait to smell it again. It makes me happy in a way I can't use words to explain. I think it will be my signature for a long time. The projection and longevity are perfect. When people smell it I can see their eyes light up. I understand the negativity about this being a re-imagining of a classic. However, the girl in the store told me an emotional story. Three weeks before he sadly passed Givenchy himself was brought the fragrance. He was so enamoured with it and believed that the new scent perfectly represented the spirit of the fragrance that he has lent his personal signature to the inside of the box as a seal of approval. The last fragrance signed off by Givenchy himself, how special.
