L’Interdit Parfum is the 2025 version of L’Interdit, composed for Givenchy by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal. The house describes it as a floral woody, balsamic fragrance: bitter almond essence opens the white bouquet of orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine, mimosa absolute softens it, and vetiver, patchouli and a balsamic accord extend it.
Givenchy opens L’Interdit Parfum with bitter almond essence. The line’s white bouquet of orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine holds the center, brightened by mimosa absolute, which the house calls floral and velvety.
The base pairs the vetiver and patchouli signature of L’Interdit with an accord of precious balms: myrrh absolute, opoponax and benzoin. The house credits it with the woody, ambery character of the Parfum version.
The 2018 Eau de Parfum opens on bergamot and ginger; the Parfum version replaces them with bitter almond and adds mimosa to the white bouquet. Some circulating descriptions place pear and apple in the top notes; Givenchy does not name them.
