About Givenchy L'Interdit

Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum is the modern relaunch of the legendary L'Interdit concept from 2018, a bold, white floral feminine fragrance that has become one of Givenchy's biggest recent successes. It combines bergamot and pear with jasmine sambac, tuberose, and orange blossom, resting on a dark base of ambroxan, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver. It captures the thrill of breaking rules, the forbidden fruit that tastes the sweetest.

The opening features bergamot and pear. Bergamot provides clean, bright citrus freshness. Pear adds soft, juicy, clean fruitiness. The opening is deceptively light and innocent, giving no hint of the darker, more intense notes below.

The heart introduces jasmine sambac, orange blossom, and tuberose. Jasmine sambac provides dense, tea-like, intensely sweet white floral character. Tuberose adds buttery, creamy, narcotic intensity. Orange blossom contributes honeyed, warm brightness. The three white florals create a heart that is lush, intoxicating, and powerfully feminine.

The base brings ambroxan, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver. Ambroxan provides warm, slightly salty, woody-amber projection. Patchouli adds dark, earthy depth. Vanilla contributes creamy warmth. Vetiver adds smoky, earthy freshness. The base is dark and warm, a dramatic contrast with the lighter opening that gives L'Interdit its forbidden character.

L'Interdit is a year-round fragrance that works for any occasion. Its white floral heart with a dark, earthy base has made it one of the most popular and critically acclaimed women's fragrances of recent years.
