L’Interdit Rouge Ultime by Givenchy: the forbidden turns to cocoa. L’Interdit has been upending the rules since 1957; with Rouge Ultime (2023), Givenchy raises audacity to its zenith. Perfumers Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal sign a spicy floral in which tuberose is wrapped in roasted cocoa, while white patchouli and smoky vetiver carve out a carnal depth. Hotter than Rouge (2021), more addictive than the classic Eau de Parfum, Rouge Ultime embodies the thrill of the forbidden pushed to its extreme.
