This women’s fragrance blends white florals with dark woods for a daring twist on classic sophistication.
Givenchy’s L’Interdit Parfum is the boldest iteration yet of its iconic forbidden-flower theme. Launched in 2022 by perfumer Fanny Bal, this parfum amps up the intensity of the EDT with richer, deeper notes, perfect for those who crave elegance with an edge.
Opening: White Flowers with a Dark Underbelly
L’Interdit Parfum opens on a bright bouquet of tuberose and orange blossom, immediately evoking classic white-flower femininity. But almost instantly, patchouli and vetiver slip in, adding an unexpected earthy twist. It’s like wearing a pristine tuxedo with a black leather jacket.
Many wearers describe this contrast as addictive: “The moment the tuberose blooms, you think it’s just another floral perfume, then the vetiver kicks in, and it’s thrilling.”
The Heart: Duality in Bloom
At the heart, the white florals deepen. Tuberose feels creamy yet potent, and jasmine weaves through, keeping the mid until smooth. The wood notes hover behind, creating a smoky haze. This duality, light versus dark is the signature of L’Interdit Parfum.
The Dry Down: Warm Woods & Vanilla Veil
In the base, sandalwood and cedarwood provide warmth, while a hint of vanilla softens the edges. The parfum concentration ensures these woods linger, leaving a velvety trail that’s both sensual and sophisticated.
Performance: Confident & Long-Lasting
- Longevity: 8–10 hours
- Projection: Moderate to strong for the first 3–4 hours
- Sillage: Noticeable but never overwhelming
A couple of sprays will carry you through an evening with confidence.
