History and Identity

The Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Toilette fragrance, released in 2019, is a fresh and light interpretation of the iconic perfume from Givenchy, a brand that has embodied Parisian elegance since 1952.

The name L'Interdit, meaning "forbidden," refers to the original fragrance created for Audrey Hepburn, but this eau de toilette adds a modern touch to the L'Interdit collection, making it accessible for everyday wear.

This release fits perfectly into the Givenchy heritage, combining boldness and sophistication, characteristic of the house founded by Hubert de Givenchy.

The 2019 launch allowed the fragrance to win over a new audience while retaining a sense of mystery and luxury.

Positioning and Wearability

Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Toilette is positioned as a female fragrance, but its universal notes can also appeal to lovers of unisex perfumes.

As an eau de toilette, it has a medium trail, making it ideal for the office, dates, or spring-summer strolls where a balance between noticeability and delicacy is required.

For optimal use, it is recommended to apply 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing — this will ensure a soft and long-lasting scent without overdoing it.

The fragrance is complimentary and recognizable, adding lightness and confidence to your look.

Authors and Influence

The creation of this perfume involved outstanding perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal, whose combined talent brought harmony of classic and innovation to L'Interdit Eau de Toilette.

Their style, known for complex compositions, enhanced the Givenchy DNA, emphasizing elegance and modernity.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Toilette begins with the top note Poppy, which gives a fresh and slightly spicy start, reminiscent of summer fields.

In the heart of the composition, Orange Blossom (neroli) with its citrusy sweetness, Tuberose, adding creamy depth and sensuality, and Musk for a soft, enveloping texture harmoniously combine.

The base of the fragrance is built on Patchouli and Vetiver, which provide a lasting woody foundation with earthy and green shades.

This combination creates a dynamic transition from a bright floral bouquet to a warm and cozy finale, perfectly unfolding on the skin throughout the day.

Such a pyramid reflects the complex character of the fragrance, belonging to the Floral, Musk, and Woody families.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

At first, there's a luxurious grape scent, and then a very pleasant tuberose unfolds. Orange blossom adds freshness, and wild strawberry gives it sweetness. The eau de toilette turned out to be lighter and more elegant; I liked it more than the perfume version. It's just super! )))
4/5

This scent reminds me of a TV - just as bright and powerful, sweeping everything in its path! But, honestly, it's lighter and has an interesting undertone that isn't sweet. There's something of cereals, as if it's a fantastical poppy, although, in my opinion, poppies don't have any smell at all. If you find eau de parfum too heavy, then this is a pretty good choice. Especially in autumn, it will sound very harmonious - it has a slightly musty note of dried herbs and foliage ))
3/5

This fragrance is just unbearably bright, almost to the point of nausea. Wild strawberry is definitely here, but in some crazy, exaggerated form. This is definitely not for me. Although, of course, there are those who love it 🤦‍♀️
4/5

This fragrance reminds me of L'Interdit, but it's lighter and more transparent, not as cloying. For an eau de toilette, this is perfectly normal. It's great for everyday wear, but I think there are more interesting options 🌸
5/5

This version is simply terrible, I don't understand how anyone can praise it. The scent is too intrusive, and I don't smell any berries at all, only flowers, and even those feel out of place. Freshness? It's nothing, it just smells flat. I didn't think it could evoke such negative emotions, but I definitely don't need a sample to realize this isn't for me 😒

I have a few samples, and, damn, this grape just hooked me from the start. I wonder how they achieved such an effect? For the Indian summer that has finally arrived, the scent is quite successful. It's not as bright and sweet as the one from 2018, but it still fills you with positivity. I don't smell any poppy at all, but the tuberose is simply gorgeous, and the orange blossom is something else! The base is more woody, the longevity for an eau de toilette is not bad, the sillage is noticeable, though not as much as in the eau de parfum. Overall, it's quite comfortable to wear
4/5

Lighter than the previous one. This fragrance is quite suitable for spring, especially during the day in the office, but you need to be careful with the amount
5/5

Florals are not my thing, but this one hooked me. I tested it for a long time on skin and clothes, thought it would be sweet and cloying. But it turned out not to be. In the end I bought it. I don't know how tuberose and poppies smell, but this one really hooked me
5/5

The eau de toilette seems much lighter compared to the eau de parfum. Here, tuberose blends with orange blossom and delicate vetiver. Sweetish orange notes are also noticeable, but they are not as pronounced as in the perfume version
3/5

The grape here is so sickly sweet, like it's waiting to finally be devoured. At first, it's okay, even pleasant, but then it somehow gets sad. Everything disappears quickly, and I don't understand what to do with the base at all. Maybe it's worth trying again, but honestly, I don't see the point right now 😒
5/5
5
This version isn't as sweet and bright as the Classic Eau de Parfum. Tuberose is prominent here, but it smells colder, possibly due to orange blossom and poppy. The fragrance unfolds gradually, and fresh notes start to emerge. Overall, quite intriguing, worth trying again
3/5

I think the EDT version is much more interesting than the EDP, though both are worth attention. The EDP is too intrusive, but here everything is softer and more pleasant, not as sweet and cloying. Overall, their scent profile is similar. The longevity and sillage are pleasing, just super!!
5/5
5
The eau de parfum and eau de toilette are indeed very similar. The toilette version managed to keep all the best features of the original, but at the same time, it became lighter and more delicate. The longevity is pleasing, although it doesn't smell as bright and sharp as one might expect
4/5

Finally! I can smell both wild strawberry and 'Isabella' grape in the scent 😍 It truly smells like a proper eau de parfum. The eau de toilette version turned out a bit lighter, but still kept its longevity and sillage. It's not as in-your-face, which makes it more wearable for everyday use 🌸
5/5
5
It's like sweet grape candies with a light floral accent. The eau de toilette feels lighter, there's no almond here, but the brightness is still top-notch. The fragrance is long-lasting and leaves a noticeable sillage 🌸
