Strong STRONG sexy white florals
This is such a beautiful, strong scent. My mom has it and whenever she wears it the whole house smells of it, it overpowers anything I'm wearing even, so beware it's definitely a head turner, fill the room type of scent. But a gorgeous one at that! Beware if you're sensitive to white florals, the tuberose and jasmine are intense here.

Icon of the Luxury segment
The first thing that struck me was the longevity of Givenchy L'Interdit Rouge. From the moment I applied it, the perfume unfolded its layers with grace and sophistication, lingering throughout the day. The top notes of blood orange and ginger dance delicately on the skin, gradually giving way to the heart notes of tuberose and jasmine. The base notes of patchouli and sandalwood anchor the fragrance beautifully, ensuring a lasting impression that effortlessly transitions from day to night.

The sillage of L'Interdit Rouge is nothing short of enchanting. As I moved through my day, I noticed the subtle trail of this alluring scent, leaving a captivating aura wherever I went. The perfume strikes a perfect balance between being present and not overwhelming, making it suitable for various occasions.

One cannot overlook the stunning flacone that houses this masterpiece. The deep red hue of the bottle is not only visually striking but also adds a touch of glamour and mystery. The design reflects the passionate and bold essence of the fragrance within, making it a luxurious addition to any fragrance collection.

Complex tuberose
I could not handle the "original" L'Interdit but this is GORGEOUS. To me, I find this to be way more rounded. I find this to come across as spicy, sweet and slightly wood and citrusy. This is one of those fragrances that has these barely noticable nuances that keep me coming back for more! It's just so interesting!

A headache in a bottle
This perfume is nothing short of horrible on me. It's sour, extremely overpowering and way too heavy. I can also smell some really hardcore incense in it but the listed notes of the perfume don't seem to back up this claim. The orange, patchouli and ginger together form a lethal trio whose job is to deliver the fatal blow to your nose and ensure that the perfume sticks to the skin for hours on end.
Sure, it's very femme fatale, sexy, dark, mysterious and intriguing, but it's so, so unpleasant.

Sticky sweet
A strong, heavy, sticky sweet and spicy perfume. It's a unique smell that lasts. Unfortunately, it gives me a headache, but otherwise I would wear often (if you like super sweet and spicy!). Especially nice during winter, the holiday season, and/or nights out. Would not suggest this as a safe blind buy, even with the high ratings. And definitely not safe for regular office wear, in my opinion.

Whoa! If you are a man who likes Tuberose then this is your perfume. Spicy, deeply floral, earty, mysterious, masculine in one word.

One of the best designer releases in the last couple of years. A spicy floral with a citrus opening that doesn’t give air freshener vibes.

I dislike OG L'Interdit but Rouge is very nice. The best flanker IMO. An interesting, deep + spicy-sweet floral scent.

Sultry, loud florals with a rich patchouli base (girlfriend asked if I was wearing something with chocolate). Perfect scent for a night out.

Thought this a wee bit too strong when worn before. However it sings in the single digit weather I am in right now. Loving it.
