    Real talk

    The black sesame is the tell. It's what sets this apart from other white floral fragrances, what gives it that unexpected depth. Most white florals stay on the surface, bright and sweet and done.L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense
    Anne Flipo delivers the white floral overdose fans crave, but the cardamom-lavender opening keeps it from becoming just another tuberose frag. The tobacco-rum base is where this earns its 'Absolu'.L'Interdit Absolu
