L’Interdit EDP: Tuberose – Waxy, Velvety, Tropic

L’Interdit Eau de Parfum by Givenchy
Amber Floral
Anne Filipo, Dominique Ropion, Fanny Bal

The original L’Interdit from 1957 was created for Givenchy muse iconic actress Audrey Hepburn. L’Interdit means forbidden in English and the name fits the fragrance well.

This new version of the scent L’Interdit comes out in 2018. If I smelled it blindly, I would say a classic white floral, bubble gummy tuberose in particular. The brightness and sweetness are grounded with woodsy and earthy accords like patchouli and vetiver which I, in fact, do not get much. I inhale a ton of vanilla instead which makes the fragrance even sweeter.

Two other perfumes jump to my mind: My Way by Giorgio Armani and Thai Spa by Tesori d’Oriente. I am not a tuberose hunter myself but if you are L’Interdit is a must-have. A well done classy tuberose. Anyone can enjoy it.
