Dare a more intense Interdit! Givenchy's L'Interdit has become, in just a few years, a true pillar of modern feminine perfumery. Created in 2018 by Givenchy, it has already been reinterpreted several times, first becoming an Eau de Toilette, before being declined into two other Couture editions.
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense is a feminine fragrance inspired by one of the most beautiful essences of the last century: L'Interdit by Givenchy. As a bit of history, this fragrance was created in 1957 as a tribute to Audrey Hepburn, beloved of Hubert de Givenchy. It was then a floral, tender and romantic fragrance. Then, in 2018, Givenchy decided to completely modernize its fragrance and turn it into a new edition. Since then, the story has kept being rewritten. In 2020, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense becomes even more powerful than before. With it, glamour and charisma become one! Presented in a black-lacquered bottle, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense is quite different from its predecessors. So, what exactly about its composition? Here are the different elements present in its formula.
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense, a highly contrasted opening
Givenchy's L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense owes its existence to three renowned perfumers, namely Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal. It should be noted that they are the ones who created the 2018 edition of L'Interdit. Here, they chose to nuance their fragrance and give it a fiery temperament, betting from the outset on an incisive and highly contrasted opening. Immediately, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense blows hot and cold. Bergamot gives it a soft, zesty freshness while black pepper appears warmer and incandescent. The whole is nevertheless softened by a juicier, green and fruity pear. Thus, despite its multiple facets, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense manages to find a perfect balance. From then on, the breath of L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense cracks like a whip in everyday life!
The floral and roasted heart of L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense
At its heart, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense recalls more the first edition of L'Interdit. Tenderer and more romantic, it gives off a floral breath. More precisely, it blends narcotic tuberose with a luminous, sun-kissed orange blossom. However, do not think that Givenchy opts for simplicity... The house chooses to add a more original touch here, bringing in roasted black sesame. This unexpected ingredient surprises and reinforces the sharp and smoky side of this fragrance.
The woody sillage of Givenchy's L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense

These provide more character and structure to the whole. Moreover, they considerably increase the persistence of this fragrance and give it excellent longevity for many hours. Finally, because the woman wearing this fragrance is also a seductress, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense closes with a touch of Madagascar vanilla.
