The review
On paper, L'intimo is a strong bet if you want L'Interdit for less.
Volare 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.
At $36 per 100ml it costs 91% less than L'Interdit — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Volare 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'intimo is working from.

Aldehydic iris-violet powder from 1957; couture restraint bottled for Hepburn alone.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
