L’Interdit, a White Floral with Dark Depths

Givenchy L’Interdit is a white floral with dark depths. Our version keeps that feel, opening with pear and bergamot before a tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom heart settles over patchouli, ambroxan, and vetiver.

The Story Behind the Scent

Givenchy built L’Interdit around white flowers, all fresh tuberose and jasmine over a dark, earthy patchouli base. The idea was a contrast of light florals and shadowy depth.

That contrast is its appeal. The pear and bergamot keep it fresh, the tuberose and jasmine give it a full white floral heart, and the patchouli and vetiver give it a dark, earthy base. Our interpretation follows that same striking path.
