The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

L'Interdit Eau de Toilette by Givenchy, launched in 2019 and crafted by Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that weaves together elegance and warmth. The composition opens with the vibrant poppy note, leading into a heart of tuberose and orange blossom, which are enveloped in musk for added depth. The base notes of vetiver and patchouli ground the scent, creating an earthy and woody finish.

How to wear it

One spray to the wrists and neck is sufficient as the scent develops slowly over time. Given its woody base, it pairs well with cooler weather but can also be enjoyed year-round for a refined touch.
