L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge, the carnal fragrance from Givenchy. Initially conceived in 1957, L’Interdit is far from an ordinary perfume. It is much more than a simple feminine fragrance and reveals on its own a part of the rich heritage of the Givenchy house. In 2018, inviting us to look back several decades, Givenchy decided to bring this perfume back into the spotlight and modernize it.
In 2018, while delving back into its archives, the Givenchy house decided to reinvent and modernize one of its greatest perfumes: L’Interdit. Originally released in 1957, it was then completely transformed. Enjoying instant success, it has continued to transform season after season ever since. In 2021, it marks yet another turning point in this long history and takes on, for the occasion, a sumptuous bottle that is more carnal and daring, tinged with red. Shall we remove its cap together to discover the composition of L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge?
L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge, a bright and spicy opening
L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge is a perfume intended for women who are not easily intimidated! Moreover, on screen, it is embodied by Rooney Mara. According to Romain Spitzer, President of Givenchy Parfums, the American actress fits this perfume better than anyone: her refined bearing and the intensity she exudes, he says, correspond perfectly to the world of the new L’Interdit perfume. And it is precisely this fervor that one feels from the very opening of this perfume. Its bright, energizing character comes through in a breath of blood orange from Sicily. This tangy, refreshing raw material is balanced by a redder, spicier accord. More specifically, this consists of chili pepper leaves and ginger. It is worth noting that this aphrodisiac ingredient fits perfectly with the passion concealed in the story of this essence. From its opening, L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge invites one to brave every danger and give in to the strength of feeling.
More floral heart notes
At its heart, L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge reveals more femininity and softness. It unfolds a carnal sensation and recalls just how much Hubert de Givenchy once succumbed to the charm of actress Audrey Hepburn. This perfume brings together opulent sambac jasmine from India and sultry tuberose. Between these flowers, a burning attraction is immediately born.
Givenchy finishes its perfume with a woody, smooth touch
Finally, little by little, L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge gains in persistence and tenacity. To this end, it relies on a woodier sillage. Patchouli essence from Indonesia gives it a dry, earthy character. Conversely, sandalwood from New Caledonia is rounder and creamier. As a result, an absolute balance emerges from the base notes. Sultry sensuality is then pushed to its peak, to the point of turning into obsession!
L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge is an infinitely captivating perfume. It is imagined as a carnal, forbidden pulsation. A single spray is enough to fan the flames of sensuality. The result is an incandescent creation, making body and mind race.
