Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Toilette is an 80ml floral fragrance for women — a luminous, slightly mysterious scent that balances bright white florals with a smooth, slightly shadowy vetiver-patchouli base. Refined yet daring, it carries forward the spirit of Givenchy's iconic L'Interdit signature in a lighter, more daytime-friendly concentration.
About L'Interdit
Givenchy is the legendary French couture house founded by Hubert de Givenchy, who originally created L'Interdit in 1957 for his muse Audrey Hepburn — making it one of the first ever celebrity-led fragrances. The modern L'Interdit was reinterpreted in 2018 by perfumers Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal, with the Eau de Toilette version launched in 2019 as a fresher, more luminous take on the contemporary signature.
Fragrance notes
- Top: poppy
- Heart: tuberose, orange blossom, musk
- Base: vetiver, patchouli
How it wears
The fragrance opens delicate and slightly powdery — a soft poppy accord introduces the composition with elegance and freshness. The heart turns into a luminous white-floral bouquet, with creamy tuberose and honeyed orange blossom layered against clean musk for a refined, slightly modern feminine character. As it dries down, the slightly mysterious side of L'Interdit emerges: vetiver and patchouli give the composition a smooth, slightly shadowy backbone that contrasts beautifully with the brightness of the florals.
Who it's for
L'Interdit Eau de Toilette is for women who love refined, slightly daring designer perfumery — wearers who enjoy white-floral signatures with a grown-up edge, fans of the wider L'Interdit collection who want a lighter daytime version, and those building a luxurious yet versatile fragrance wardrobe. It is also a strong gift choice thanks to its couture-house heritage and elegant flacon.
How and when to wear it
This is a true day-into-evening fragrance and works particularly well in spring and autumn. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the inside of the elbows and the base of the throat — and avoid rubbing the wrists together so the white-floral heart can develop. The lighter EDT concentration makes it especially well suited to daytime wear, with the deeper EDP available for evening if you prefer more projection.
