I should’ve known that I would not like this since it has orange blossom and tuberosenotes. However I really enjoy the grape soda note that I pick up from it. The longevity is nice. I will not...

Any hardcore Audrey Hepburn fan worth their knowledge knows that L'Interdit was the fragrance Hubert Givenchy made especially for Audrey. But I must say... I don't like this perfume as much as I...

To me this smells overwhelmingly of pear and vetiver with a hint of white florals and a medicinal undertone reminiscent of chapstick. It's certainly different to anything else I own and for that I...

This review is for the latest version. What Givenchy have done to L'Inderdit should be considered a crime against perfume. The original is among my favorite perfumes that combine the...

Powdery at first but very overwhelming and strong after it settles, ever present. Unfortunately doesn't suit my skin.

The original l'Interdit was a wonderful classicly elegant scent. The "reworked" scent is a cheap trashy smelling scent which smell like a "just like" or "our version of" scent which you can get at...

I never had the privilege of sampling the original, only a decant of the reformulation. The top notes are a beautiful blend of strawberry, currant, and rose, and after that it transforms into the...

Classy, powdery, spicy floral. My review is for the Mystiques version and I have to say that this fragrance is beautiful. I have not smelled neither the original nor the reformulation but I think...

Oh for heavens sake, who is Givenchy trying to fool? This smells like L'Interdit for about one minute, then it floats into a generic white musk fragrance. I wouldn't call it milky, it's just...

Very pretty! The card for it says it has red current, Bulgarian Rose and a touch of musk and incense. The rose is not soapy or overbearing; nice blending here. It smells fresh. Apparently...

I am reviewing the original parfum and NOT the current reformulation that bears absolutely no resemblance other than the name. The original parfum came in a read silk-covered box and the perfume...

It was the new version I tried. It started out nice enough, spicey with some incense, but quickly turned to a rancid cheap smelling floral. It disappears fast with my chemistry too. From what I've...

I'm not a Hepburn fan, and actually was a little put-off by the idea of trying her signature scent, so the fact that I fell in love with it despite my misgivings is praise indeed. The reason I love...

Note: My rating is for the ORIGINAL 1957 version, not the newest release or the 1990's version. It would seem that the clueless gang at LVMH has done it again. Nordstrom's is describing the...

Classy and timeless, L'Interdit personifies femininity more popular in another time. It's spicy without being manly; prominent, but understated. I sampled this for the first time today, and I...

Rumour has it that Givenchy may re-introduce this wonderful classic in the original, authentic formula that made it famous throughout the latter half of the 20th century. I can only hope this is...

This is an "oh my!" fragrance. I have the original formulation, so the scent may be a little off because of vintage. However, it is so classy and lady-like. Soft rose and aldehyde are the notes I...
