Product Description Givenchy's first cult scent, this floral fragrance is a tribute to Givenchy's most glamorous muse, Audrey Hepburn. Her personal scent has been re-worked in a combination of spicy pepper and clove, softened by rose, jasmine and violet, and grounded with earthy vetiver and incense. This sophisticated classic is as elegant and lovely as its original wearer.
Customer Reviews:
A poor imitationAugust 23, 2008 L'Interdit for many years was my trademark fragrance inherited from my mother. The House of Givenchy decided to reintroduce the fragrance in 2002 while reformulating it in order to make it more appealing for the younger generation. While Jean Guichard and Olivier Gillotin are talented "noses" the outcome is a pleasant fruity-floral, well crafted, but not particularly memorable.
As for the original L'Interdit, it was a fragrance of soft, elegant beauty. The opening notes are of aldehydes paired with bergamot, softens considerably as the fragrance is allowed to meld into the skin and reveal its personality of rose, jasmine and iris. The floral notes are not distinct, instead presenting a beautiful swirl of abstract shapes. Yet, above this, spicy carnation adds pleasant honeyed warmth to enhance the floral notes. Matte glow of amber paired with the earthy opacity of vetiver forms an elegant base upon which the floral notes recline, veiled by a powdery mist.
Passionate about L'Interdit by GivenchyJune 15, 2008 I am passionate about this scent. I have been wearing it as it is available for the past 28 years. I have received so many compliments about how I smell from so many people that I will die if this fragrance is discontinued again. Montie Burgy
