Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.
