Givenchy L'Interdit (2022) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal. L'Interdit (2022) opens with Bergamot, Orange, Bitter Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cistus Incanus, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Givenchy's L'Interdit (2022) carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This EDT flanker is a divisive one. While some find L'Interdit's white floral and citrus core refined and perfect for everyday wear, others find it a watered-down, less exciting version of its predecessors. It's safe, but maybe *too* safe for some. Love it or hate it, just don't expect a carbon copy of the EDP.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of bitter orange and mandarin, bright and uplifting. This quickly softens into a creamy heart of opulent tuberose and sweet orange blossom, creating a delicate yet present floral bouquet. The dry down settles into a subtle skin-scent of soft musks, grounding sandalwood, and a whisper of earthy patchouli, providing a sophisticated, clean finish that feels both modern and comforting.
