L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense is an oriental floral by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal that deepens the white-floral signature with black pepper, roasted sesame and Madagascar vanilla. The narcotic tuberose-orange blossom heart sits on a woody, earthy patchouli-vetiver base for a richer, nocturnal feel.
