The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Givenchy, L'Interdit 2003 is a Floral Fruity fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and American glamour. The composition opens with vibrant fruit notes like peach and plum, which are quickly enveloped by soft florals such as peony, honeysuckle, and Bulgarian rose. This creates an inviting warmth that transitions into a powdery, woody base of sandalwood, oakmoss, and musk. L'Interdit 2003 is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it offers a delicate balance between freshness and depth.
This fragrance blooms gradually on the skin, so applying it about half an hour before you need it allows the full depth to emerge. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, making it ideal for daytime wear where its powdery base provides lasting comfort.
