L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge Givenchy perfume – a fragrance for women 2021

I think this is one of the most beautiful fragrances I’ve ever smelled. It is absolutely intoxicating and head-turning. This is exactly what I would wear if I wanted to show out that I’m confident, I own it and I know what I’m doing.
ALL of the other perfumes do not even come close to the amount of confidence this perfume has. I feel like I’ve waited for a such a long time for this type of perfume to come to the market.

This perfume is basically the epitome of dark and mysterious bad bitch fragrances to me. I feel like it could be worn with any outfit to any occasion. I saw the bottle in the store and just smelled the cap and thought “Hmm… okay, this could work.” And when I sprayed it on my wrist… I kid you not I could not stop smelling myself for the entire evening. It was just intoxicating! The sweater I wore also picked up this scent, so I basically ended up wearing the same sweater for entire week because I wanted to smell like this every day. And since I couldn’t stop thinking about it and kept wearing that same sweater over and over again I just had to order it (it was getting a little bit embarrassing). So I did. And I do not regret this because it is my new favourite scent now.

On my skin I get the most beautiful blend of vetiver and sandalwood with a hint of jasmine and patchouli on the background. The tuberose is not so prominent for me for some reason (despite everyone’s votes) and is just the note that ties everything else together and makes this fragrance unique. The prominent vetiver and sandalwood really make this the IT perfume for me.

It does have a sliiight powdery feel to it, so be aware of that. Thus it reminds me of Narciso Poudree – the DNA of that perfume is present in this one. The core, the essence is the same, but I would say that Narciso is more softer, more cute and held back.. like your daytime work-personality. Whereas L’Interdit Rouge is like it’s dark and mysterious nighttime sister.

I think the perfumers really deserve an award for this perfume and I have a feeling that it will grow in popularity and become another classic on the market. I hope it will get some awards this year on Fragrantica as well because it really does deserve it.

Complexity: 10/10
Sillage: Moderate, but can be built to fill the room
Longevity: Long lasting

TLDR; Wear this if you want to show out that you’re confident, you own it and you know what you’re doing. It is absolutely the most intoxicating and head-turning bad bitch fragrances currently on the market. An absolute masterpiece. 10/10 would recommend trying.
