These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Modelled profile

Iris and violet build a cool, powdery softness lifted by bright aldehydes, with tonka warming the close. It is airy and elegant, a powdery floral that carries clearly on the air.

How L’Interdit smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, L’Interdit is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, and carries across a room and announces itself.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Warmthtemperate0.42

L’Interdit sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 38th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionroom-filling0.73

L’Interdit carries across a room and announces itself. That is 93rd percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.09

L’Interdit is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

L’Interdit carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

L’Interdit keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
