The story behind the bottle.
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge, launched by Givenchy in 2021, is a vibrant red spicier flanker of the original L'Interdit from 2018. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal, this Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a bright burst of ginger and blood orange before settling into a heart of tuberose and jasmine. The base notes of sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver provide a woody warmth that grounds the composition. This scent has reignited enthusiast interest in Givenchy's fragrance line but is polarizing; some find its gourmand-spice sweetness excessive.
Apply L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge to pulse points for maximum impact. The top notes are bright but dissipate quickly, so ensure you catch that initial burst of ginger and blood orange before the heart and base notes take over.
