The review
On paper, L'Intrude is a reasonable bet if you want L'Interdit for less.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Interdit's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on aldehydes, bergamot and mandarin orange, turns to iris, violet and jasmine, and settles into sandalwood, vetiver and amber. That is the brief L'Intrude is working from.
