Launched in 2018 by Givenchy, L'Interdit Eau de Parfum reimagines the brand's iconic 1957 scent associated with Audrey Hepburn. Perfumed by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Fanny Bal, this composition centers around tuberose but casts it in a darker, more provocative light — the thrill of the forbidden. The fragrance opens with pear and bergamot, providing a fresh contrast to the rich tuberose at its core, which is further enhanced by orange blossom and jasmine sambac. The base notes of patchouli, vanilla, ambroxan, and vetiver add warmth and depth, creating an olfactory experience that feels both intimate and dramatic.

Application Tips
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum has a strong presence, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The tuberose and vanilla notes develop over time, making it best applied an hour before you need to wear it. It's particularly effective for evening events where the scent can fully unfold close to skin.
