Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Review: A Tuberose Rebellion

The fragrance that broke the rules and redefined modern femininity.

By Sofia Chen-Martinez, Fragrance Trend Analyst · · Updated

Sofia tracks the cultural pulse of perfume β€” what TikTok wears, what Hollywood smells like, what auction houses bid on. Based between Paris and LA.

Givenchy’s 'Les Parfums d'Interdit' collection serves as a cornerstone of the house’s luxury fragrance portfolio, drawing inspiration from the original 1957 creation dedicated to Audrey Hepburn. This modern iteration reinterprets the 'forbidden' concept through a contemporary lens, pushing the boundaries of white floral compositions. In this review, we examine the nuances of the collection, focusing on how these scents bridge the gap between classic French perfumery and modern, daring scent profiles. The collection stands as a testament to Givenchy's commitment to quality, innovation, and timeless style.
