Description

The House of Givenchy, established in 1952, has always masterfully blended aristocratic elegance with a daring, avant-garde spirit. The L’Interdit legacy began in 1957 as a bespoke gift for Audrey Hepburn, and this 2024 release of L’Interdit Absolu pushes the boundaries of that forbidden heritage into a new, gender-neutral dimension.

What does Givenchy L’Interdit Absolu EDP Intense / Travel Size (10ml) smell like?

This Eau de Parfum Intense is a rich and magnetic composition belonging to the Amber Floral Woody family. It represents a deeper, more nocturnal interpretation of the original fragrance, designed to blur traditional boundaries with its high-contrast ingredients and exceptional longevity.
