Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Interdit EDP
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum is a fearless blend of creamy white florals and dark, earthy woods. Addictive and modern, it radiates confidence and seduction with impressive projection and lasting power.

Our Verdict - Dark Desire EDP
Dark Desire is Rebel Aromas' interpretation of Givenchy's L'Interdit Eau de Parfum, borrowing its bold white-floral backbone of jasmine and orchid but dropping the tuberose and orange blossom that give the original its addictive, grape-soda-adjacent brightness. A dark cherry-patchouli twist makes this its own thing rather than a precise match, and it fades much faster than L'Interdit's near-double-digit performance.
