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.

Not what i was expecting

Woah. L’Interdit literally smells like cinnamon Red Hots. Not what I as expecting at all, but I think weirdly enough I like it better than I would have if it were closer to the listed notes? It’s certainly sweet-spicy, vibrant, and more than a little flirty. I never liked Red Hots themselves, but a perfume evoking their essence might have been exactly what I needed in my collection.

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.

A perfect scent for 3 raccoons in a trench coat disguising themselves as a woman

White flowers – super sweet. Patchouli – so clearly visible so early? Ginger and pimento leaf – yes. Blood orange – maybe if I squint? Eh. It's excessively sweet more than anything.

Jasmine here is more visible than in L'Interdit (2018) Eau de Parfum, but not to the point where it would overpower the main star – tuberose. But the tuberose itself, as well as the composition in general feels... unremarkable? It's hard to find the right word. Disappointing?

Perhaps it's on me for inevitably developing vague expectations for currently "Ranked 6 in Women's Perfume"; and the fact that I recently tried and loved the original (well, the 2018 version of it) L'Interdit doesn't help the situation... But this just smells like any other feminine white floral perfume ever? I don't get it.

The floral scent is rather flat, and ginger and pimento are more prickly than they are flavorful. The added earthiness just brings it, well, further down to earth. A bouquet, discarded on the street without a second thought, and I think someone may have already stepped on it.

The sillage is large, but is mostly contained in the 2 meter radius around the wearer. Quickly fizzles out in a larger area. Takes about ~2 hours to settle close to skin. At around ~3 hour mark starts drying down.

Gets worse. Feels dirty and... wet? With a spoilt spicy undertone. Do you know how sometimes a little bit of foul liquid forms at the bottom of the trash bag? And it leaks just a drop as you take out the trash in the morning, but the ghost of that smell haunts you late into the evening? That's the feeling I get from it. That lasts for about ~1 hour, then starts drying out as well.

The last ~2,5 hours are filled with a fading dirty sweetness. Is that it? Ah well. The more I know, I guess.

Gingery, spicy jasmine with a touch of tuberose

I've always asociated the L'Interdit line with that generation that is now in their '70s-80's, so I never felt like I could pull it off. The Rouge version, on the other hand, seems more approachable to younger generations, perhaps because the indolic aspect from the other versions is lacking here. The ginger gives it a spicy kick and harmonizes perfectly with the white florals. The jasmine beats out the tuberose in here, and boy, does she last!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dintotdeauna am asociat linia L'Interdit cu doamne de peste 60 de ani, ca si cum el aparținea mai mult acestor generații. Versiunea Rouge, pe de altă parte, desi matur, mi-se pare mai abordabil pentru femei mai tinere, probabil datorită faptului că un aspect indolic din versiunea originală lipsește in Rouge. Ghimbirul îi dă ceva picant si oriental, si îmbinarea cu florile albe îi creează o personalitate aparte. Iasomia si tuberoza predomină într-un mod plăcut, si desi nu caut florile albe în parfumuri neapărat, aici simt că mă pot înțelege cu ele într-un mod armonios. Persistentă si siaj deosebite. Este un parfum oriental modern si merita încercat.
