L'Interdit Intense

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on black pepper, moves through tuberose, sesame and orange blossom, and settles on madagascar vanilla, patchouli and vetiver.

• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill
• tuberose: a big creamy white flower, buttery and close to overwhelming

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
