Is L'Interdit Absolu truly a unisex fragrance?+−
Yes. While it retains the white floral core of the original line, the inclusion of lavender, tobacco, and vetiver gives it a woody, smoky profile that many men find wearable and many women find empowering.
How does this version compare to the original L'Interdit Eau de Parfum?+−
The original is much sweeter and fruitier, featuring notes like pear and bergamot. Absolu removes the fruit and replaces it with aromatic lavender and a heavy, smoky tobacco base, making it darker and more intense.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
It is generally considered a "commanding" scent better suited for the evening, formal events, or a business environment where you want to project authority. Because of its strong sillage, it may be too heavy for small, shared office spaces.
How long does the scent last on the skin?+−
L'Interdit Absolu is known for high performance, typically lasting 8 hours or more. The base notes of patchouli and tobacco absolute help the fragrance cling to skin and clothing long after the initial spray.
