The design of the bottle is exquisite, with a deep red color resembling lacquer, fitting perfectly in the hand, providing a cool sensation that contrasts with the fiery scent it holds. In my opinion, the original L’Interdit still stands out as the best. I might be biased to say that this version has a chocolate note, which appeals to those new to fragrances, as it is a common element in modern designer scents. However, the chocolate note is too overpowering for me, as I prefer cleaner scents when strong notes are present.

The floral notes remain prominent – orange blossom, jasmine, neroli, and a hint of tuberose, while the standout is the cacao pod note. This note adds different dimensions for different individuals. Some describe it as having a bubblegum or cola-like scent, aligning with my observations of a youthful essence. The base notes include patchouli, ambroxan, vetiver, and tobacco, contributing a smoky undertone to the fragrance.
