I really love this one and wish I could find occasions to wear it more. This girl has a strong personality and I feel I have to be in the mood. On my skin the sesame note is oily and prominent with tuberose (the creamy grapey kind) in the background. Very smooth and opulent. My dad used to wear something like this and I wish I knew what it was. He would wear female perfumes at times if he liked the smell and I wonder if that was the case with this memory. However, I do find this unisex, but I can’t tell if it’s because of this memory or because this is a dark scent. My mom likes dank patchouli/florals and she loves this one-also she has been known to steal my dad’s “fu-fu” so who knows! I don’t get a lot of patchouli up front, more of an overall woodiness underneath which smells more of vetiver to me, really well blended. Also oily, would definitely try on your skin. I know we always say this but some perfumes are more likely to change than others and I feel this is one of those. On my mom this is more peppery and we are spraying from the same bottle. I just sprayed some on to add to the review and my husband says, “Mmm it’s good, smells like berries”. And wow, it has sat for probably 6-8 months without me using it and I feel it is much sweeter now, I think the tuberose is now the star. Will update if the sesame comes back with a vengeance. It is still a mature scent, could not see anyone younger than 25 wearing this without being a little powerhouse haha! Also could see this being an absolute bomb if over-sprayed.

Just got this and I have to say the warmth in the intense is what was missing for me from the original EDP. I got the edp 3 years ago and wore it religiously for months and months, but suddenly I stopped wearing it bec it started giving me migraines and suddenly found it very screechy on me and idk maybe ever a bit cold? The warmth in the intense is the perfect balance. I would say the opening in the edp and the intense are quite the same, but the sesame and the Madagascar Vanilla notes keep it from turning sharp and heady. I can smell the black pepper and Im not mad at it at all, even though I wouldn’t gravitate to such a note in a fragrance. I truly hate it when perfumes turn masculine or androgynous on me, but this is sultry and powerful yet super feminine and femme fatale like almost everyone mentioned. I wouldn’t say this perfume is super grungy, but rather for super feminine ladies whose favorite color is just black? If that makes any sense I definitely prefer this one to the edp and think I’m going to wear it a lot during this winter season. Longevity on this is crazy, 3 sprays and I’m good to go. Out of all the flankers, the intense is a love for me and the Rouge Ultime. I wasn’t really fond of the Rouge one because of the ginger note, which was quite very mature for me unfortunately. However, I think the Rouge Ultime is my second favorite, that cocoa note is amazing. I would layer the intense with Black Opium le parfum, only the emphasize the lovely vanilla even more. All in all, 8.5/10

I really like L'Interdit Intense, a sensual and voluptuous fragrance, a perfume that brought to my mind a woman similar to Marilyn Monroe, happy, sexy and full of curves, who would wear such a fragrance so naturally that it would seem the scent of her skin. At the start, pepper is there but very balanced, not excesively strong, just as a subtle touch of spice that precedes the rest of the fragrance. Then the tuberose appears, which is the most predominant note throughout all the development of the perfume, sweet but not too much thanks to the sesame, which reminds me of the sesame oil that we sometimes use at home for Asian cuisine. The sweetness of this tuberose reminds me at first of the aroma of strawberry gum, something that had not happened to me in other fragrances with a note of tuberose but that I had read in the opinions of other reviewers. Later on, the sesame disappears and the vanilla starts to be very present, making the tuberose even warmer, sweeter and creamier. The sillage of this perfume is moderate-high and it lasts for about 10 hours on my skin. This is a fragrance that I really liked and that I am not going to include in my collection at the moment just for the simple fact that I have too many fragrances based on tuberose to finish before buying it. I feel that this is perfect for nights out, dinners, flirty dates ... Scent 8.5 / 10 Duration 9/10 Sillage 8/10 Quality / price 7/10 Versatility 6/10 Packaging 8.5 / 10 Would I buy again?

Stunning, elegant and sexy as hell. Wow, this is a complete love at first sniff for me. The gorgeous black packaging had me captivated and the bottle is beyond beautiful. Very classy and heavy. Will look stunning on any vanity. Opening spray is deep, dark vanilla, sesame and soft tuberose. The vanilla is truly warm and delicious while the black pepper stops it from being cloying. I can't stop sniffing my wrists! That creamy, milky vanilla mixed with the spices is just divine. This is a truly sophisticated perfume. I'd wear this with a long sleeve, velvet maxi dress that shows off a daring, high slit and long sleeves. It's perfect for fancy events, charity balls, or a intimate evening with your lover. L'Interdit Intense is a winner for me. I would only wear this in the evenings or for an event as it is too special to be worn throughout the day. This perfume is truly gorgeous and sinfully sexy. I honestly find myself reaching for this one over and over, even though I'm trying not to wear it casually. It just smells so damn good that I want to wear it all the time! Edit: My other half reacted to this one straight away. I stepped into his car in my black dinner coat and heels and he told me I smelt absolutely gorgeous! Edit again: This smells nothing like the original which is pure pear candy on me. This one is more of a special vanilla dessert. I just can't understand the amount of votes saying they smell similar because they don't!
