About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Givenchy's L'Interdit from 1957 is a floral aldehyde that opens with a sparkle of aldehydes, strawberry, and a touch of spice. The heart is a grand bouquet: iris, violet, narcissus, orris root, rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The base settles into sandalwood, amber, musk, benzoin, vetiver, and tonka bean. Collectors will recognize the powdery iris and violet signature, with woody and amber undertones that give it depth and longevity. This is a classic, sophisticated scent for those who appreciate vintage glamour. It suits evening wear or special occasions, and will appeal to lovers of mid-century aldehydic florals. The prominent powdery and iris accords make it a must-try for fans of that style.
