L'Interdit Rouge
L'Interdit Rouge by Givenchy is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the designer price tier. It opens with blood orange, ginger and pimento, moves into orange blossom and sambac jasmine and dries down to patchouli and sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
