No little Cinderella
L'interdit Rouge is not a girl. She is a grown-up lady, a full-fledged woman.
While her younger sister, L'interdit Intense, dances the night away in a club, she sits in her velvet red robe at the opera, occasionally throwing a mysterious smile at the gentleman behind her. He follows her through the crowd at intermission, but only sees her put down her champagne glass and dive into the night barefoot.
Barefoot not because, like Cinderella, she's hoping for a prince to carry her shoes after her.
Barefoot because they were a nuisance to her.
L'interdit Rouge is mysterious, dark, tame on the skin - but tamed rather than well-behaved.
The sharp blood orange opening is slowly captured by the ginger spice and then gently enveloped in a tuberose-jasmine embrace; the orange blossom dances to it.
Grounded by woods and an almost incense-like patchouli, this creates a rounded composition that evokes associations of a dark autumn or winter night for me.
Rarely has a bottle or its color hit a fragrance so well!

Help, what's wrong with my nose?
Maybe it's due to hay fever, I don't really know, but I don't get the much-vaunted, much-maligned coconut here after a citrusy opening. For me: fortunately! Much more I smell a - not sooo sweet, rather pleasantly fruity - berry miscellany,...
