By the editors · 2 min readL'Interdit in its 2018 EDP form leans far darker than the 1957 original it borrows a name from. The opening is sharp — a bergamot-pear brightness that lasts about ten minutes before the heart takes over: tuberose and orange blossom laid across a base that does the real work.
That base is where the interest lives: vetiver, patchouli, and an ambroxan-heavy musk drydown that reads almost leathery in cold weather. It's a contemporary white-floral-meets-dark-woods construction, not polite, not demure, built for night. Projection is strong for the first few hours, longevity easily a full workday. Best with heavier clothing — the florals lose their shape in heat.
