"Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum is the 2018 modern relaunch of the historic L'Interdit name, reinterpreted as a contemporary white-floral composition for women. It is widely described as a bold, high-impact blend of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine with a sweet pear-led opening and a darker woody-ambrox base. The fragrance was created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Fanny Bal, and it quickly became the signature pillar of the modern L'Interdit line. Its character contrasts luminous floral femininity with an edgy, slightly synthetic and earthy depth, giving it a strong designer identity. Although it shares its name with the vintage 1957 perfume, the 2018 Eau de Parfum is a distinct composition rather than a faithful recreation. In the market, it is known for strong projection, notable longevity, and a polarizing but memorable floral-sweet profile."

Reviews Summary

“User feedback consistently describes this version as a powerful modern white floral led by tuberose and orange blossom, softened by sweet pear. Reviews frequently praise its elegance, projection, and long wear, while some users find it very strong or detect a grape-soda-like fruity-synthetic nuance in the opening. It is generally seen as one of the more assertive designer florals in its category, with especially good performance on clothing.”
