L'Interdit in detail
Givenchy, the house founded by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, launched its first perfume, L'Interdit, in 1957. The current Eau de Parfum, described here, takes up its name; the house files it among woody florals and links it to a thrill of freedom.
Calabrian bergamot, rendered as bergamot, and fresh ginger give a bright, zingy opening. The heart brings together three white flowers: Tunisian orange blossom absolute, jasmine sambac and Indian tuberose. The darker base pairs Indonesian patchouli with Haitian vetiver.
L'Interdit is worn in spring and autumn, by day or in the evening. It is a white floral with a woody shadow, for those who love generous flowers with a touch of mystery.
Three niche florals in our catalogue share several of its materials: Magnolia Nobile by Acqua di Parma brings together bergamot, tuberose, jasmine sambac, patchouli and vetiver; 51 Pour Femme by Roja Parfums pairs bergamot, orange blossom, tuberose and patchouli; Adare by Memo Paris combines bergamot, ginger, orange blossom and tuberose.
