Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Aldehydes · Bergamot · Mandarin Orange · Peach · Strawberry
Heart Notes
Jasmine · Narcissus · Orris · Rose · Violet · Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes
Amber · Benzoin · Musk · Sandalwood · Tonka Bean · Vetiver
The top notes arrive as a burst of crystalline aldehydes kissed with juicy strawberry, warm spices, and bright citrus—bergamot, peach, and mandarin orange dance together in an opening that feels both sparkling and sensual. The composition feels clean and luminous from the first spray, drawing you in with its radiant warmth.
As the fragrance settles, a lush heart of iris, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley emerges, supported by narcissus, orris, rose, violet, and ylang-ylang. This floral heart is layered and sophisticated, each note adding depth without overwhelming—creating a bouquet that feels like second skin, neither aggressive nor shy. The florals breathe with an effortless ease, unfolding gradually across the skin.
The base anchors the composition with creamy sandalwood, warm amber, and soft musk, rounded by tonka bean, benzoin, and vetiver. This creates an intimate skin-close trail that lingers for 6–8 hours, perfect for day wear through evening. At its best in warm conditions, yet equally wearable year-round, Interdiction offers a noticeable sillage that draws compliments without demanding attention.
