The perfume is built on the basis of contrast between a bouquet of white flowers (including jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom) and intense woody and earthy notes of patchouli and vetiver. The concept behind the creation is the thrill of the forbidden and the challenge of crossing the line. A white floral exalted with a dark accord. The first resolutely underground flower. The white notes - orange blossom, jasmin and tuberose - are interlaced with darker more mysterious notes of vetiver and patchouli. Originally released in 1957, L'interdit perfume was launched with a new formula in 2002. This revamped version features a mix of sweet and spicy scents, with top notes of peach, rose, violet leaf, honeysuckle, osmanthus and peony. There are also heart notes of rose and peach along with heliotrope, strawberry, tuberose, plum and orange blossom. Finishing notes of iris, patchouli, oak moss, amber, musk, cedar wood and sandalwood help this fragrance stand out in any era.
