L'Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine

L’Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine offers a lighter, fresher interpretation of the original fragrance, centered around a delicate and airy jasmine that evolves into a soft, warm floral with woody and earthy undertones. The accord leans into white floral complexity with a patchouli-rich base, but the drydown reveals a vanilla-like warmth rather than any dark or mysterious qualities implied by the 'nocturnal' name. The initial impression is strikingly similar to the original L’Interdit—especially in the opening phase—though the transformation is subtle. Many users note that the jasmine bloom is fleeting and not as intense or magnetic as they’d hoped, with a performance that is moderate in longevity and sillage. It is best worn during night time and autumn, though some find it a lighter, wearable alternative for office settings. The scent transforms beautifully on skin, revealing a nuanced, elegant profile that stands independently from the original, but not with enough distinction to justify its premium price point for many.
