Update: I ended up keeping this one and returning to it to try again, and it’s growing on me. I still think it’s way more powerful than most of my perfumes (strike that, more powerful than ALL my perfumes), but with an extremely light hand in spraying… I did actually enjoy this one. It’s still very intense, but I think both my nose and the bottle needed to sit for a while on this one.

is like telling Michelangelo to leave off the Sistine chapel and do a manga cartoon.
I wish he would stop wasting his time and turn out another masterpiece.





It scents for a lady who is warm, pleasing and yet has her little secrets. The opening is lush and fruity that quickly blends with tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine to from a nice, soft floral bouquet. The dry down is all amber and caramel over the patchouli base that makes it a sweetly seductive fragrance that displays all it's charms in a gentle way. Luxury woman in evening dress at night city going to prom party night city with princess in celebrity style.


The original of Interdit, containing 18 ingredients, made no impression at all on my nose. So subtle as to be undetectable.
The new version, containing but five ingredients (Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, Vetiver, Patchouli) is hardly subtle, nor does it contain any of the five named that are recognizable to my nose. What it does scream out is ANGEL COPY.
Yes, a fruitier (if that were possible) version of the original Angel, but with all of Angel's juices firmly in place.
This is a screamer, a screecher if you will, and only the truly bold and brave may apply. Were this not a copy, I would give it high praise, but as a blatant copy with no originality, all it can muster from me is a neutral.
Too bad I can't recommend the original vintage either. Interdit in any form just doesn't cut the mustard, though anything to cut this rather shrill scent would have been welcome.

My husband said that I smell like bubble gum with a little bit of mint. He seems to like it.
I'm not getting bubblegum, but I am getting a juicy grape/cherry note that lasts for hours. Normally fruity notes bother me, but this is bright, happy, and almost good enough to eat. Sometimes this smells a little like Dr. Pepper with a pretty woody floral background. I don't really smell patchouli, but after a couple hours, a green musky note appears.
I'm quickly make my way through a sample, and that is usually a sign that I enjoy a fragrance.
Excellent performance...
3.5/5
