From the Master of seductive, elegant, and sensual scents ...
The perfumer Dominique Ropion has created this limited version of L'Interdit for the LVMH group. He is known for his seductive and sensual fragrance compositions such as La Vie Est Belle, Alien, Addict, or Black Opium. L'Interdit Angélique Rouge is characterized by its floral notes (particularly angelica).

It is a versatile fragrance that can be worn well in the evening or on special occasions due to its warm and sensual notes. The perfume also handles many everyday situations well, especially when one wants to emphasize elegance and modernity. Floral and spicy fragrance notes also make it a good companion for the cooler months.

L'Interdit Angélique Rouge by Givenchy is not this sweet "hit-you-over-the-head" candidate that recklessly throws around sweet notes. The fragrance creation presents itself as more complex and with a good dose of sensuality. In the opening, fresh and zesty notes shape the scent. After that, floral (angelica) and spicy notes come into play. Here, the character of the fragrance emerges with a beautiful depth. In the base, warm, woody notes dominate. The scent is not made for the long haul, but it remains perceptible close to the skin for a long time.

So, if you feel like sniffing at the forbidden, here is an opportunity.

This is just...
I thought during today's sniffing, this reminds me of something in my house... Aah now it dawns on me, one of my favorite candles from Ava & May. Those who are occasionally on Insta surely know the candles that are supposed to smell like the country or city written on them.

In this case, this little treasure here smells 1:1 like the candle "Persia". Mainly Neroli and Fig. And it will be the Fig that reminds me of it, because otherwise there aren't many notes from the candle present. There was also a corresponding perfume created by the candle brand for the mentioned candle "Persia", but I was unfortunately very disappointed by that. This one here is so special that I'm seriously considering whether I want to smell like my living room... Really nice and very special!

Less is sometimes just less
Admittedly, I almost ordered this fragrance blindly because it seemed to combine two of my absolute favorite scents, Angélique Noire and "L'Interdit (Eau de Parfum Rouge) | Givenchy."

But those who fly high, fall hard - and unfortunately, that was also the case with my expectations vs reality.

The top note of L'Interdit Angélique Rouge strongly reminds me of the EdP.
I don't know what prickly pear smells like, but to me, it smells like a very dominant pear. Very, very faintly, I get a bit of ginger, which rather amplifies the fruitiness; the spiciness of the angelica seeds is completely unnoticeable to me.
How can that be, when it is the namesake of this flanker?

After 10 minutes, it becomes more floral and sweeter, the tuberose hits hard. Unfortunately, it’s the kind of tuberose that does not charmingly seduce, wink, and giggle, but rather a shrill, loud screamer. I am reminded of one of the Scandal series, it could be "Scandal by Night | Jean Paul Gaultier," which I associate with a very similar dominant tuberose.

As it progresses, finally some herbal, balsamic note comes in, similar to an essential oil, which clears the nose nicely and takes the loud sweetness down a notch (really just a notch). A large portion of angelica (seed or root, it doesn't matter) would have worked so well here!! But the angelica seems to only be a namesake on paper.

I think the herbal note in the base is simply the vetiver-patchouli mix, which is somehow trying to capture the full force of the white florals. With moderate success, the tuberose and a somewhat prickly, synthetic note remain until the end, when the fragrance becomes very close to the skin after 4 hours.

Hmm, I really had high hopes and am a bit disappointed.

The similarity to L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge is absolutely unclear to me; in my opinion, it is definitely closer to the classic l’interdit edp or edt. Bright and radiant, perhaps a bit shrill, and the handful of angelica doesn’t help anymore.

The Rouge, on the other hand, is so much softer, richer, warmer, and has a vanilla patchouli base that is simply to die for.

So as a flanker to the EdP, this one can hold its own, but you really don’t get much new.

Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth a test because the l’interdits are generally well made, and noses are known to work differently!

KN has a slightly herbal touch, from DD the original DNA is clearly recognizable but very floral and less woody
For me, the most beautiful one so far

Angelique Noire by Guerlain uses angelica root. That definitely makes a noticeable difference. This one is clearly more floral.

Spicy, floral, bright, and elegant. I don't sense angelica seeds like in Angel.Noir. For me, it's another lovely flanker.

A worthy flanker in the series, but those hoping for a similarity to Guerlain's Angelique will be bitterly disappointed…

L'interdit has less tuberose, making it a bit greener and herbaceous, softer. Ginger and white flowers. Overall, more spring-like.

I search in vain for the earthy-peppery notes, instead there's a sweet-floral patch with dominance. Nice flanker, but definitely not a must.

Peppery ginger paired with strong tuberose could be the sister of Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée!

Fruity blood orange out, spice in & the new flanker is ready. Swings somewhere between OG Rouge & Ultime. H/S is top as always.

L'interdit Rouge is diluted, softer, and feels obsolete to me.
