L`Interdit Givenchy perfume - a fragrance for women 1957 TillyWave Iris and Dark Powder Bomb I find that L'Interdit is all iris, orris, powder, and dark woods. It belongs on the skin of women with lacquered hair, red nail polish, stockings, and white gloves. Not loud at all but reminiscent of older grooming products--powder, white bar soap, lipstick, hairspray on a style that was set at the beauty parlor yesterday, and a few drops of perfume, from a glass dabber bottle, pressed on pulse points. I'm sure that the 20 mls of L'Interdit that I have have started to turn--I cannot detect any strawberry/peach/bergamot/fruit note at all (too bad!) and for a few minutes the floral notes have nailpolish edges. But the aldehyde topnotes are of the old fashioned skanky variety, I do understand the comparison to Chanel no 5, because it smells just like those bottles--skanky, musky, kind of off putting, but interesting if you hang in there because it doesn't last long.

I am sure that these notes have aged in themselves, but still, aldehydes don't smell like this today. This perfume really reminds me of Chanel Misia--it is so, so powdery, the violet is prominent, the iris and orris are very dark, and the other florals are faint whispers, and the sandalwood is STUNNING. Beautiful base. L'Interdit wears pretty close to the skin but has good longevity, 6+ hours. Aug 2016 Chanel4Evah Simply Exquisite! The Vintage 1.oz bottle I snagged for a Good price on eBay just arrived today and it is PURE LOVELINESS!!! Very much like No.5 to start, but it becomes less intense and prickly in the dry down, more Elegant and Smooth. No.5 is meant to GRAB your attention, L'interdit is meant to gently seduce your attention! It succeeds Blissfully so! Merveilleuse! Aug 2016 Southern Blonde Vintage miniature dab on bottle. A beautiful spring fragrance of innocence, charm and sweetness. This was made for Audrey Hepburn to wear and she wore it well.

Unselfishly she allowed other women to experience this beauty and when it hit the fragrance market in the 50's and 60's it was immediately hailed as a successor to Chanel No. 5. It has a few things in common. This is a French perfume and it has aldehydes and roses but in my opinion it's sweeter, softer and more enjoyable. Also it lacks the musk in No. 5. This is just a lovely youthful perfume for girls. I smell the peach and strawberry fruity sweet concentrated fruit. Because of those aldehydes however and the big strawberry as well as the rose it becomes slightly like a beauty salon scent. It definitely does smell of nail polish. In fact I had my own red nail polish bottle open to smell it and then smelled L'Interdit to see if the scents matched up. They do but this is a softer sort of nail polish scent. I like nail polish though. The fragrance lasts a long time and softens as it dries down. It then becomes like soft rose powder and violets, iris. Then it turns into a light sandalwood. Classy, beautiful, timeless, soulful and sweet like Audrey Hepburn.

May 2016 RosieRachel Enchanting. I sought out a sample of L'Interdit because of Audrey Hepburn, and I've been in love with it ever since. I am now fortunate enough to own a bottle and I consider this the gem of my tiny collection. Givenchy really has captured the essence of a stylish Hepburn, as this is elegant, graceful and feminine. I understand why she loved it so much. The opening is characterised by soft, soapy aldehydes, followed by the sweetest, most beautiful strawberry you can imagine. The strawberry in this perfume is my absolute favourite. The warmth of my skin then brings out a softly sweet peach, before the heart of a feather-weight floral powder, which is so incredibly delicate, and a beautiful, creamy sandalwood-amber dry-down to finish. I consider this the most perfect "posh hand cream scent" I've ever encountered. It settles very well on my skin, and is never too overwhelming, impeccably well-blended and quintessentially French. Soft to moderate sillage, longevity is for about 6 hours. Love. Apr SuzanneS French feminine wiles in iconic Givenchy style. Beautiful for spring with her powdery iris rose.

Thus has a gentle soul. Not many perfumes can capture this delicacy. The parfum is a little tricky, too much you get nail polish. The lightest hand you get all her fabulous notes. Again back to her theme of gentleness and delicacy. The parfum has an oily quality about it for adherence. The edt is slightly lighter but the fragrance is similar to one another. The drydown with the powdery sandalwood is wonderful in the EDP. Not to be missed. I love to wear it to soften my being. The world we find ourselves in is quite harsh and this seems to being balance to me. This is from another time when women could be feminine, dress beautifully and put together for the sake of it..and not being asked what function was the reason for such a dressed up occasion. This is simply, because I am a woman. Apr 2016 endge I have a small decant of the original L'Interdit and a full bottle of the re-issued Les Mythiques version. The difference on me is this: the modern version smells from the beginning like what the vintage arrives to after half an hour, and I much prefer it that way.

In fact, the top of the vintage seizes up my nose and all I get in first half an hour is bitter almond (which is not even there supposedly, but that's what it translates into in my brain). Mar 2016 theladymay An incredibly beautiful fragrance. I'm fortunate I guess, as I've never gotten any sort of nail polish scent from it. I have the parfum in the bright red presentation boxes and pre-barcode edts in the gold boxes with the flower stems on them. Very, very softly aldehydic - much, much less than Arpege, Chanel, Caleche. Well blended florals - I can think hard and pick things out but overall it's just the impression of lovely soft flowers to me. I don't get any dominant rose, iris or violet. The strawberry notes are lovely and strong, and there's some peach that dances through at times. Gorgeous creamy sandalwood, amber and orris make a powdery drydown to die for. While I believe that perfume has no gender L'Interdit feels so very feminine to me. This is one of the greats that I've replaced every time I've used up a bottle.

Jan Gigi The Fashionista The Forbidden Fragrance of Audrey Hepburn In 1957, after three years after being the only woman on the planet who wore a perfume made exclusively for her to wear by French fashion designer and friend Hubert de Givenchy, Audrey Hepburn consented for her fragrance to be sold and commercialized in the mass fragrance market. The perfume was L'interdit which in French means "Forbidden". It was thus named because Audrey was reported to have been so enchanted by the fragrance that she said to Givenchy "I forbid you to commercialize this fragrance". They made a deal that Audrey would wear the fragrance for about 3 or 4 years and that it would not be sold to the public. She was the only woman wearing this between the years of 1954 and 1957. I have two versions of this fragrance, an old vintage one from about 1959 which still smells great and the current reformulation which is also very nice, but like a faint, soft skin scent eau de toilette version of the original eau de parfum. Notes in L'interdit: 2015 lotus and jasmine The softest aldehyde I've encountered.

I'm getting rose, LoV, iris...lots of iris. This is buttery, powdery soft, pretty, a little quirky. The sandalwood is nicely creamy. It's more Funny Face than Breakfast at Tiffany's. L'interdit definitely suits the Hepburn persona. The dry down becomes *quite* spice forward on my skin- not sweet spice, but actual heat in the sinuses when I sniff my wrists. Vetiver supports. And there's a touch of violet....and a huge dose of powder. Fluffy, puffy, mounds of it. Spunky, funky, not sweet. Not at all. Quirky, yes. Very soft. Very nice! Apr 2015 risarii I have a vintage EDT of this from the 70s that was my mother's. I don't know if this is the original version or if they reformulated it between the 50s and 70s but wow, it's beautiful! I get a blast of aldehydes at first spray (which I love; aldehydes make a perfume smell expensive and classic) and then sandalwood, rose, powdery iris with a hint of strawberry.

It really is a tragedy that it isn't available anymore. I cannot for the life of me understand why Givenchy doesn't re-release this (as close to the vintage as possible or even slightly modernized by bringing down the aldehydes and musk slightly and focus on the flowers, benzoin, strawberry and the other fruits and tonka bean) and use Audrey Hepburn as it's model. It would sell like hotcakes! Audrey is HUGE, especially in Asia, where they could release an EDT version that's a bit lighter. People would pay a lot to smell like her! I think Givenchy has missed a golden opportunity. I hope they decide to re-release this in my lifetime. S’il vous plaît, Givenchy! Jan 2015 nexangelus Vintage L'Interdit, have a little sample in its little display case. Bought as part of an incomplete Givenchy set that has been well looked after. They do not make perfume like this anymore (maybe they do?!).Strong aldehyde and citrus opening with powdery amber and slightly floral (the notes come and go so nicely) ending.

It is so strong that I used the tiniest amount on my wrist and it is such a pretty, classic scent. I thought I would not like the strong soapy, sandalwood type scents as Chanel number 5 has never been on my to have list...but I am older now and this has such a depth to it, it is hard to explain. I might have to revisit some of the classics that many go on about, just to find one I like and that is me. This one is a soft floral and soft oriental mix/hybrid. This scent reminds me of my grandmother's drawer liners and her wardrobe as you opened it. Dec 2014 viewdemonde L'Interdit (the original, conceived for Audrey Hepburn)is indefineable - like the woman who wears it. You only need a dab here and there - don't spray it on lavishly! Nov 2014 Mistressvoodoodolly I really thought this was a lot like Chanel No. 5 but the parfum, on the drydown is deeper with more amber and vanilla, something sweet and spicy. It's wonderful.

I just wish the sillage was better, especially for a parfum, but it is vintage so it probably lost some oomph. Also I do not smell any citrus or light florals at the end, and barely any aldehydes. I may have to get a bigger bottle! Oct 2014 Elbereth After learning that L'Interdit was Audrey Hepburn's signature fragrance (absolutely adore her!), I acquired a tiny 3mL vintage bottle, and wow, absolutely beautiful and stunning! I can definitely see why others compare it to Chanel No. 5 because of the strong aldehyde note, but where Chanel No. 5 seems reserved for someone who is a little more mature, L'Interdit is absolutely ageless. Without a doubt, I love Chanel No. 5, but I ended up giving away my bottle because as a twenty-six-year-old, I felt like a child in their mother's oversized pumps clumsily trapsing around when I wore it. L'Interdit in turn felt like having an inherited piece of jewelry from a grandmother. It is without a doubt not modern in the least, but it is more beautiful and unique because of that.

And like an inherited vintage piece, L'Interdit is special to wear; it's special because of it's history and definitely not something that's thrown on for day to day use. It has an appropriateness and elegance the same way an old locket would have, and it's classy and sophisticated. Not provactive, yet alluring. It's easy to see why someone like Audrey would have loved it. Jun 2014 Nirhtuc I'm just not an aldehydes person- it does work sometimes, as in the case of the old Gucci 1. I got a sample of this from The Perfumed Court (the original/vintage version, not the re-issued current one), and I dabbed some on an hour or so ago. I can't comment on longevity, but sillage is soft to moderate. The perfume itself reminds me a lot of the inside of my mother's handbag, lipstick and money, and of perfumes like Red Door, which I don't really enjoy. I guess I might have liked the perfume if I was living back in the 50s or 60s.

The notes that stand out the most on me are aldehydes (unfortunately) and heady jasmine. I can't really picture someone like a young Audrey Hepburn wearing this... Jun 2014 jana.hullinghorst I just received a tiny bottle of this from LittleMissCharming (thank you so much!!) This is soooo good! It's beautiful, classy, inoffensive, soft whispers of mossy powder projecting from my skin.. it's a cross between mitsouko and dioressence. This is going to be my next big bottle purchase for sure! Jan 2014 katieathens I bought it a long time ago when I read that it was Audrey's favorite perfume. I really really liked it. To me it was very flowery but not in a bad way! It reminded me of spring and Easter time, of breezy sping evenings. I have a little bit left, but the bottle is at my parents house, so I can't sniff it...:-( Jan 2014 StopHammertime Never in a million years did I think I was going to like this perfume. I hate aldehydes and jasmine.

I got a really tiny mini of the parfum because I thought the little bottle was so cute. I heard that Audrey Hepburn loved this perfume, so I had to see what it was about. OMG I love it! It reminds me of Chanel No. 5, but in a more wearable way. So classy! The minute I dabbed a bit on my hand it was magic! I was so surprised by how much I love it. It smells soapy, powdery, a little sweet, a little flowery. It makes me want to be the lady that wears this! Jul 2013 bluemlein this young-girl scent doesn't like my body chemistry and vice versa. all i get from it is a generic chemical catch in the back of my throat, so i have done the best thing i could with it: given it to the people who collect dresses and accessories to help teens who have nothing go to the prom. after all, perfume is the touch that pulls it all together. Mar 2013 drummagick Received a vintage bottle today with a little bit left in it. The notes seem to be intact.

In the beginning there was a burst of what I think must be aldehydes (not ever having smelled them by themselves, I'm not sure what they smell like!), then a light floral with just a hint of strawberry. As time went on it turned to complete powder on my skin. I have never smelled a perfume this powdery. It brings to mind a plump little white haired grandma :) I can parse out some really nice sandalwood in the base, a little musk, a bit of tonka. Very pretty, but I like my perfumes a little more on the strange side. Jan 2012 acavicchi My mother has a bottle of vintage L'Interdit by Givenchy that had belonged to my late grandmother. It was my grandmother's favourite perfume and, though there is almost nothing left in the bottle, the very faint scent that remains immediately evokes memories of her. L'Interdit, to me, is clean, pretty and comforting. I have a hard time isolating certain notes as there is so very little left in the bottle and I'm almost afraid that if I smell if too often, it will disappear, but it is a powdery, clean scent.

It is very well balanced so that the florals aren't overpowering, but complementary to the other notes in the fragrance. I also believe there is a warm, mildly spicy, mildly herbal or aromatic note to it that really sets it apart from other perfumes. There are certain times when I feel really grateful for scent and its ability to bring back memories of happy times or to remind you of people you have lost. When I smell L'Interdit, I remember the feeling of being loved and cared for by someone very special to me. Jun 2012 missk Vintage L'Interdit is a very special perfume. I can most definitely imagine Audrey Hepburn wearing this fragrance, and I find it a much better pairing than Marilyn Monroe with Chanel No.5. I shelled out the money to smell the original formula, and I'm so glad I did. It's a very classic scent, powdery aldehydes inclusive, yet I find it far more complex than people give it credit for. L'Interdit EDT opens with a bright, sparkling burst of aldehydes, peach and strawberry. The powdery aspect is thankfully not overpowering, although dominant.

The fruits give L'Interdit a beautiful, juicy and Spring-like feel. The scent itself is rather subtle which surprised me at first, however I much prefer it this way when I come to think of it. After the fruitiness subsides, the floral accords become much more pronounced, with a rather strong focus on powdery rose and iris. The way the heart settles brings a smile to my face as I picture Audrey Hepburn decked out in her expensive Givenchy gown with an elegant string of pearls setting off her slender neck. She was a woman that stunned the world with her beauty and style, yet it came so naturally to her. L'Interdit has managed to capture the essence of her in a bottle. In some ways, this fragrance is quite refined and elegant, although its delicacy hints at something a lot more intimate and sensual. The powderiness is somewhat similar in composition to the infamous Chanel No.5, however L'Interdit caters to a variety of tastes, throwing in an array of fruits and berries, and further developing into a spicy incense drydown. Unfortunately my skin chemistry has not done justice to this fragrance, turning the peach note into something a little too fizzy and bitter.

I envy those who can maintain L'Interdit's smoothness on their skin with no rude interruptions. Audrey Hepburn must have been an amazing smelling woman in her day. Mar 2012 tiuku03 this is my first review here. L'interdit was my signature scent for years until it ran out of stock here in Finland. It is my all time favorite ever to exist. The original eau de parfum has not been available since the 80's. I have only had eau de toilettes since then. My last bottle of the original ran out before the year 2000. I have now gotten bottles of the Les Mythiques 2007 version on Ebay. The price and availability of that is also not good any more. So I am on a long and hard quest for something like this as a signature scent in the future. The best part of this for me is the wonderful old fashioned powderiness of the drydown. L'interdit is a subtle soft sensual scent on me. It never gives me a migraine. I love it at all times of the day and year. It is great for work, play and everything.

The eau de toilette does not have a lot of staying power. That is its major con. If anyone suggest a new signature scent for a L'interdit lover I am open to suggestions. I also like the original Ferre by ferre but that feels a bit overpowering sometimes. And also a discontinued hard to find scent. Feb 2012 MrPerfumeKing A futher note on this legendary scent, it was infact worn by Audrey Hepburn, a very close friend of Mr Hubert De Givenchy, and according to legend, the name "L'interdit" came from Audrey Hepburn whom told Mr Hubert de Givenchy "I forbid you to commercialise My perfume" and so came the name "L'interdit" "the forbidden" fascinating story from a truely luxurious perfume and fashion house. Jan 2012 tessture A classic aldehydic fruit with smoky woods. Very lovely, very addicting. There is something about it that reminds of a different era, a different world and there's a bit of longing in there for things past. That being said, it's also slightly dated, but for the woman with attitude, this will never be an issue.

Dec 2011 jena6867 Aaaah, so beautiful, dont buy the version of this age, it is nothing like the original, sadly not available anymore Jul 2011 viewdemonde Smokey and deep. One feels a million dollars wearing this scent. Best for a gala, intimate, evening event, where you will be sitting close to your loved one. Apply sparingly and let the perfume do the rest. It wafts and does not nag incessently like some modern perfumes. May 2011 Kiku L'Interdit captures the essence of the enchanting woman, Audrey Hepburn, who inspired it -- elegant, sophisticated, lovely. It's composition is like almost every other classic fragrance: a fruity/spicy opening followed by a soft floral heart, an earthy base. What sets L'Interdit apart is the large amount of orris and violets in the center. They give a soft, dry, powdery calmness. This perfume has a gentle heart. For the Audrey that's in every woman. Mar 2011 mymlan I got my hands on a vintage edp that I bought blindly only on basis of notes and reviews.

First I found the top a bit strange and almost unbalanced, so I had to give it a few tries before I begun to understand it. It is usually a good sign when I have to give a fragrance several tries. My crush for them seems to be both harder and deeper if I overcome the first hesitation. l'Interdit starts off a bit sour from the bergamot that mixes with a cold aldehydic wind. Then it suddenly gets warm from the spices and some sweetness from the peach and strawberrys joins in. Alltogether a quite interesting concoction that may be puzzling at first. But then the flowery heart reveals it's beauty and fulfils all hopes that I had from reading about its notes. Violet, powdery iris, sensual rose and jasmine plays along in such small doses each that the result is a warm, powdery, slightly sweet and innocently sexy air that rests on my wrist for hours and hours. I find the main theme both creamy and a little powdery but not in a milky baby powder way. The initial basenotes provides the flowery heart with character. Also, handful strawberries from the top dances around the heart in order to keep it young and happy.

I find l'Interdit utterly feminine with an ooze of innocent sensuality in an almost teengirlish kind of way. Beeing one of the classics It also surprises me in two major ways. First: It is so soft... and second: the strawberry note so recognizable. Usually fruits and berries in classics are so much blended in to the scent that you only get fragments from it. But not here. The strawberry is natural and clear on top of all the other goodies. If you love classics you should really give original l'Interdit a try. It's such a lovley gem, yet with a modern twist eventhough it was created already in the 50's. Apr 2010 Amethyststar I nearly fell over from the scent--much too heavy, and as it dried down it seemed to smell like a perfume my mom used to wear called Blue Carnation. I would not buy this! Mar 2010 Mals86 I'm testing the Les Mythiques 2007 version. It is definitely a classic-style aldehydic floral. However, the aldehydes are a softer version, a la No.

5 Eau Premiere, much pleasanter to modern sensibilities, and they are sweetened by just a hint of fruit in the topnotes. The florals are so well-blended that it is difficult to identify individual notes, although I do get quite a lot of what I think of as traditional Rose-Jasmine Accord, with some iris underpinning. Base notes are rich, elegant, and powdery. If you like the great classic perfumes - Chanel No. 5 and Joy - you will probably enjoy L'Interdit. I find both of those a shade on the too-powdery side for me, but I like and would happily wear L'Intedit. Classic, beautiful, appropriate for nearly any occasion. May 2009 fotolux It is very old fashioned classic scent. Aldehydic at the beginning and powdery-floral in base. It is warm, elegant and feminine. It`s reminds me about a wonderful lady which like it so much. Stylish woman in fantastic black hat in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". About Audrey Hepburn. May 2009 Leesee Legend has it this scent was created especially for Audrey Hepburn, and was worn exclusively by Ms.

Hepburn for several years before Givenchy released it to the public. It is easy to see why Audrey Hepburn would have fallen for the scent -- its combination of flowers, fruit, and spices, anchored by a musky and resinous base, sits on the skin like a dream, and never hits a false note from start to finish. So, whether L'Interdit's origins are fantasy or fact, it is a scent that is as lovely and as graceful as Ms. Hepburn herself. Wear it and release "the Hepburn within." Mar 2009 eskarina62 Bought it after I had read an article in a magazine - it was already a fragrance hard-to-find. The article went to to say that all women in the 60s were wearing it - it had become a madness... I think, though that it is not my piece of cake - lacks in sweetness and sensuality - something I definitely look for in perfumes. A friend, though fell in love with it, so I gave it to her.

Advertisement Givenchy L’Interdit | Comet Over Hollywood Comet Over Hollywood Home for classic movie lovers Search by Jnpickens This is the tenth installment of my monthly classic actress beauty tips that I have read about and tested. I love perfume. It’s nice to be recognized with a particular scent. It’s feminine and fun. Several actresses were perfume addicts as well. The Turner Classic Movies documentary “Movies and Moguls” said Gloria Swanson spent $500 per month on perfume in the 1920s. The ad reads “Once she was the only woman in the world allowed to wear this perfume. L’Interdit. Created by Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn.” Recently I’ve been trying out different perfumes used by actresses. This month, I tried out Givenchy’s L’Interdit which was created and worn by Audrey Hepburn. The scent was created in 1957 and was made solely for Audrey. It was only offered in stores after she had worn it for a few years. I’ve had a sample of this perfume for at least five years.

It came in a gift set with my Very Irresistible Givenchy perfume and I simply forgot about it. I only realized that I had it, and that it would make a good beauty tip, last weekend. I wore it last week so I could smell it, get others to smell it and see if I could tolerate it for the whole day. The perfume doesn’t smell bad. In fact, it’s pretty light and airy, but it is a very mature smell. It has that musky, powdery smell that fills your nose when you sit behind an old woman in church. My thoughts about the mature scent were confirmed when I had friends smell my wrist and say, “You smell like my mom” or “Aw that makes me think of my grandmother.” To review: The perfume smells nice and is light, but is probably a little mature for a 22-year-old. I may try again in a few years to see if my opinion changes. On a side note, I read that the L’Interdit sold now isn’t the original scent. One blog said the original L’Interdit was much more spicy and exotic and not as flowery and musky. It’s a shame it was changed because that sounds much more appealing.

Add Your Own Review 1 - 5 (of 37 Reviews) I have worn the same fragrence (L'Interdit - Givenchy) since I was 17 years old (50 years ago). A number of perfume shops have tried to tell me that the newest release is the same - absolutely incorrect. The fragrence is totally different from the original. I would like to know if the fragrence is still being manufactured - it appears there are a number of us interested in ordering the perfume. From reading the reviews, it seems we all feel the same about the original fragrence - absolutely wonderful.

I wore L'Interdit for years, then they stopped selling it in the USA. When it re-appeared they changed the scent . I just loved the original fragrance and was very disappointed. Will they ever change back to the original? Thank you Written by Anonymous on September 02, 2011 Was this review helpful? Yes / No Be the first to provide feedback on this review. My sister and I have been wearing this for years.

Whenever I find it, I buy two, she does the same. However, the last batch we bought smelled completely different and I wonder if your last reviewer is right and they have 'improved' it! What a shame. I will try another bottle though and keep fingers crossed. We used to get it from Harrods! They would call us when it came in and then mail it. Very smart. Doesnt seem to happen any more. Written by Jenny on August 31, 2011 Was this review helpful? Yes / No Be the first to provide feedback on this review. I purchased my first bottle of l'Interdit in 1957 in Paris. I was told that it was made for Audrey Hepburn. It is one of the few perfumes that maintain their scent on me. Most change as soon as they hit my skin and smell like dimestore perfume. L'Interdit continues to smell heavenly. Written by Barbara S, from San Diego on June 15, 2011 Was this review helpful? Be the first to provide feedback on this review.
