The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

L'Interdit Burning Neroli by Givenchy was launched in 2023 and crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal. This fragrance opens with a radiant burst of neroli, the essence of orange blossoms grown under the scorching Tunisian sun in Nabeul. The heart of patchouli adds an earthy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the fresh citrus notes, while the vetiver base grounds it all with a woody depth. Neroli comes to light in this captivating composition, transformed into Neroli Essential Oil through an exclusive steam distillation process that reveals its luminosity.

How to wear it

Apply L'Interdit Burning Neroli to your pulse points for a lingering warmth. The neroli top note fades within an hour but allows the patchouli and vetiver base notes to shine through, making this fragrance ideal for evening wear.
