L'Interdit Rouge Ultime

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on tunisian orange blossom, jasmine sambac and tunisian neroli, moves through indian tuberose and cacao pod, and settles on indonesian patchouli leaf, tobacco and ambroxan.

• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much
• tobacco: dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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