L'Interdit Absolu by Givenchy takes a white floral and pushes it darker, warmer and more spiced. Lavender, neroli and cardamom open it bright, before Indian tuberose, jasmine sambac and orange blossom build a heavy, heady heart. The base turns unexpected: tobacco, rum, patchouli and vetiver give it a smoky, boozy finish that lingers longer than the opening promises. Released in 2024, it is worn mostly by women, and suits anyone who likes a floral with some grit rather than a soft one. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, worn at night and in the evening, and it holds up for a dressier day at the office too. The community vote leans long-lasting on longevity and leans moderate on sillage. A 3ml decant is enough to wear it through a run of evenings and know if it's yours.

The community verdict

The house
More from Givenchy
Givenchy is the French couture house Hubert de Givenchy opened in 1952, and its first perfumes followed in 1957, the L'Interdit name among them. The women's side loves white flowers, tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, often darkened by patchouli or vetiver. The men's scents run woody and warm, with iris, black pepper and vanilla. Begin with Ange ou Demon, a spiced vanilla with real depth. L'Interdit Eau de Parfum is tuberose made sweet, and the Rouge version adds woods to the same flowers. For men, Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Privée pairs iris with a boozy whiskey warmth.
