I tried it a couple of hours ago and it has very good longevity and projection on skin. It delivers on its promises. As for the scent, I perceive it as somewhat unisex. Very aromatic in the opening, like when you smell plants like rosemary or so. The tobacco is very soft and doesn’t stand out especially, and I don’t detect the rum. The neroli are the typical ones from this line. I’m not sure if I’ll buy it. I still prefer the Rouge and the Intense.
I just tried it a few hours ago and the truth is, for now, I’m not going to buy it. I liked it, but I already have the L’Interdit, the L’Interdit Rouge, and the L’Interdit Rouge Ultime… and it’s very similar; it’s the same DNA. I don’t think anyone around would notice the difference. If I ever run out of what I have, I think I’d prefer to restock the L’Interdit Rouge. Also, it comes out very intense but drops significantly after a few hours. If you don’t own any Interdit right now, you can try it; right now they are among my favorite perfumes, especially for autumn/winter!!!
It smells very roughly like laundry detergent to my taste.
A fresher opening, apparently sweeter and more aromatic than its brother Intense, and certainly not as effervescent or sparkling, but more ‘calm’ (hello, dear lavender) and less voluptuous. Gradually, a dry warmth emerges where I highlight that blend of vetiver, tobacco, and rum, which is the note that, in my opinion, gives it the depth that invites us to smell the wrist again. I think when the heat goes away, this is when I’ll truly appreciate it better. These are just first impressions from a spray of a sample I just received, but in principle, it differs enough from L’Intense to have a place in your L’Interdit collection. My perfume IG: @chabelino5
I didn’t like it at all 😕 and I can’t find any resemblance to any L’Interdit; I just don’t see it in sync with the others. The first one in the black bottle seems infinitely better, and watch out because they say they’re going to discontinue it and replace it with this, so run to get backups 🥲 because it’s going away! Edit: After wearing it on my skin for hours, it does resemble the L’Interdit line, as that sharp masculine note from the beginning that muddies everything disappears (though I still prefer the earlier ones, which are softer and sweeter for longer).
I tried the Rouge version and there’s a note that doesn’t work for me (I think it’s the ginger), but this new version I absolutely love. It’s certainly the most unisex of all, but I think it’s a great fragrance for cold weather, and its sillage is considerable. It’s not the mythical ‘pretty girl’ perfume, but rather it inspires a strong, bold woman, ‘here I am’. I’ll be using it a lot in winter or for night outs.
I just tried it at the perfumerie; on my other hand, I wore the Rouge and I prefer the Rouge, which is sweeter. I see the Absolu could be perfectly unisex; I don’t see anything wrong with the perfume itself, but what I didn’t like is that without even checking the notes, I couldn’t perceive anything except the tobacco note that lingered on my hand even after washing it. Since I’m not a smoker, that touch isn’t for me. I already own the regular L’Interdit, and if I had to choose one, it would be the Rouge.
I’ve tried it several times and still can’t wear it, what a pity. The scent is powerful, enveloping, very much of the ‘here I am’ type, with magnificent longevity and sillage. The ‘issue’—and this is purely personal preference—is that the neroli/white flower note ends up being so prominent and sharp that my nose just can’t handle it 🙁 Just for reference, it doesn’t resemble the original L’Interdit.
What a beautiful fragrance, my god. Givenchy has done it again. I haven’t given many chances to the Rouge flankers, but I did try the Intense, and I’d say this is the older, rockier sister. The Intense has presence, but it’s more feminine and avo-candy. This one has all the rebellion; it’s unisex, dark, and mysterious. It’s ideal when you want to escape the floral and overly sweet scents. Powerful and heavy. It makes me happy, what can I say?
I just tried this fragrance; it’s an absolute, plain and simple. It carries white flowers; I’m not saying no, but the kind found in mikados, which aren’t natural. What can be unisex? Yes, because perfumes never had a gender until marketing got involved. It opens sharp and alcoholic, with luminous and floral notes (not natural). The light fades, and the ever-loved and hated essence of a fruitchouli appears: the darkness of an imaginary lipstick over a bed of lavender (not natural, but Kneipp bath gel, the ‘goodnight’ kind, get it?). In the base, a vanilla/tobacco-type sweetness with a timid patchouli. Sincerely, I don’t see it well-made; I don’t see personality, even if it tries to attract attention. It’s a shout in a protest, a tear in the sea. In my opinion, for something unisex, transgressive, and better priced: JOOP! Homme, which comes from these paths but with thirty-five years of head start.
I didn’t like it at all, unfortunately. I’m captivated by unisex perfumes, but this one simply seemed very heavy and more masculine, like a men’s perfume, yet I wouldn’t want a man to wear it either. It smells heavily of nard, rum, and patchouli. I didn’t sense the tobacco scent on my skin. It’s very long-lasting; the scent impregnates easily and leaves a heavy, dense trail. 2/10.
My long-awaited blind buy arrived this morning. It was bold to go blind because NO L’INTERDIT EVER SUITED ME. I tried every flanker, and nothing worked, but luckily, this one broke the curse. It has the L’Interdit DNA but is much better balanced. The nards aren’t so loud and piercing (something I can’t tolerate in the others). The cardamom adds creaminess and softness so the opening isn’t a slap in the face. The lavender is very well balanced and doesn’t dominate. In the heart is the famous trio of white flowers where nard takes the lead, leaving a sweet dry-down from the tobacco and rum. I consider it unisex for fresh days or nights. Very happy with this new Givenchy launch ♥.
It’s unisex, even though it’s marketed as a women’s fragrance; I seriously considered buying it 😅. It’s dark, heavy, and mysterious. I like it.
What did I expect from L’Interdit Absolu? Something I would like, since I consider myself a fan of the line. Rouge is in my top 5 of loved perfumes; I couldn’t live without it. Its spicy side is my favorite. Of the Intense, what I liked most was the pepper and sesame seeds; they gave it a unique character, and I don’t know when they deemed it necessary to discontinue it. In this new Absolu, the lavender-cardamomo stands out at the start, then it dries with that characteristic nard combination of the line (though to my nose, which is more reduced than others), accompanied by the sweet smoky side of tobacco and rum with a patchouli and vetiver base. With all that, the unisex vibe is understandable. I see it as totally unisex, more winter/fall and even night-time. Its performance is very good on my skin, similar to the rest of the line. To summarize: I did like it, but I understand the mixed opinions. It strays further from L’Interdit than the others, which I don’t see as negative, but it feels somewhat generic, less special, and I don’t think it will replace the Intense. Moreover, for women not used to unisex scents, it may seem masculine. That said, it smells great; it’s the type of scent I like for this season, the performance is outstanding, and I wouldn’t mind if it were a gift. Now, since there’s no Rouge, nothing compares.
It’s very elegant, sensual, and above all sophisticated. Obviously, it’s not for blind buying, but what beauty. If you ask me, I tried the classic L’Interdit and Rouge, but let me tell you, this is the winner. If you’re the type who likes light, citrus, or fruity fragrances, this isn’t for you. Cardamom, tobacco, and neroli are what my nose perceives. Highly recommended for night, any night. Next purchase guaranteed.
I tried all the L’Interdit flankers, but this is the most beautiful and captivating for me. You immediately sense the lavender, spices, cardamom… a delight. What hurt me is that it lasted very little on my skin (about two hours and it was already gone), and honestly, it’s hard to justify the price for such short longevity. That said, if I find it on sale, maybe I’ll buy it. Its little siblings (Rouge and Rouge Ultime) have brutal longevity, but both have something that doesn’t fully convince me. Anyway, not everything can be perfect in this life.
A terribly beautiful perfume. The balance of light and dark notes is magnificent, although the performance on my skin isn’t dazzling. It’s baroque but classy. I resisted trying it; I’m the type who likes heavy, woody, patchouli, and floral scents, but the black bottle caught my eye, and I needed something to break the current banality. At first, I smell neroli and lavender well. Then it acquires a dark spicy touch. As it develops, the tobacco becomes evident, giving it a naughty and sexy side, like a date with a woman in a leather jacket, boots, red lips, and wild hair. A double espresso and a cigarette complete its calling card. For me, it’s unisex in the best sense, with bitterness, dark tobacco spices, and lots of patchouli. Simply cozy, like the pleasure of a wool coat and scarf in winter. It lasts a long time on clothes, unfortunately less on skin, which holds me back from a future purchase. Worth trying.
Hi everyone, hope you’re having a good day. Anyone who reads my other reviews knows I’m a fan of the entire L’Interdit line. About this perfume: I liked it, though my favorite remains Rouge. Something particular happens to me: I feel that while its ‘flanker’ character is noticeable, it’s the most different one, and I think they did a good job making it a bridge between Rouge and the rest. At first on my skin, I sense something fruity, like grape, similar to the EDP Intense, but here it feels like grape soda, whereas in Absolu it’s ripe grape releasing nectar. This lasts seconds, then I notice smoky tobacco blending with spiced cardamom. Then it relaxes to give white flowers the spotlight, highlighting sweet jasmine. As it progresses, the floral fades and dry, powdery, slightly sweetened tobacco emerges. For me, it has a sexy, mysterious character, ideal for autumn night dates. Regarding projection and longevity, I see a lack; I expected something more robust, but on my skin it’s timid and lasts just over 5 hours, very close to the skin. In short, it’s pleasant, sensual, dark, and serious. Sending a hug from Argentina.
What a marvel! It feels super unisex and I absolutely love it; I wear it occasionally. For a woman, it’s definitely my favorite scent. I don’t usually appreciate many nuances in feminine perfumes, but this one is a masterpiece. It’s powerful, elegant, refined, and mysterious. It captures the ‘femme fatale’ vibe incredibly well. Longevity is a 10, projection is an 8. I love it.
First time buying this brand; I was torn between Rouge and this one, making it hard to decide. Then I remembered my initial impression when I first tried it: I couldn’t stop smelling my arm, got home, and was obsessed, but then put it aside. A few weeks ago, I tested both on each arm; my husband loved Rouge, but I was still unsure (I would have taken both, but I ended up with neither). My nose doesn’t detect ingredients; I don’t know what nard smells like, but I know when something pleases or bores me. Yesterday, I went to check out the new Zadig bottle with wings, and just as I was about to buy it, Absolu came to mind, so I followed my instinct. Waiting for it to arrive.
Much more discreet than its older brother, L’Interdit, even though this is the Absolu. With so few listed notes, you’d think the neroli would explode the moment you spray it, but it doesn’t. Good thing cardamom, rum, tobacco, and vetiver are there to tone it down. Lavender? Well, thanks. I’m just starting to test it, so these are first impressions. I agree it’s unisex, but it’s not one of my favorites. I received it as a decant gift from a purchase. Still, seeing the notes surprised me, though I wouldn’t buy it myself.
Beautiful. Unisex. Woody. Elegant. I love it.
Too masculine and super intense. The rum and tobacco notes dominate; I barely smell the flowers. I can imagine a man wearing this, but not a woman.
L’Interdit Absolu is a more intense, mature take on the original with a surprising twist. It smells like they blended that floral character with the warm, spicy, amber notes of Dolce & Gabbana’s The One for Men. The result is a denser, enveloping fragrance with way more personality. Instead of the classic’s typically feminine focus, Absolu moves into unisex territory, even with a distinct masculine edge. It opens with floral notes of jasmine and neroli, but soon darker accords emerge: patchouli, thick vanilla, and a woody base reminiscent of The One’s seductive style. It’s not fresh or light; it’s warm, sweet in the right measure, with a touch of tobacco or resin that gives it character. The note combination is sublime. Likely a future purchase since both The One and L’Interdit are my favorites. Acquired on 10/27/2025. Fantastic buy… a true gem of perfumery that is completely underrated.
The opening was incredible, almost unique. On my skin, I smelled grape notes even though they aren’t listed. It started very feminine and stayed projecting well for hours before gradually shifting to a more unisex vibe. If you’re a man looking for something different, give it a try and see if it works for you. In my case, it’s a definite yes. For women, I highly recommend it.
AN ULTRA SEXY AND DELICIOUS UNISEX FRAGRANCE. I bought it as a birthday gift for my mom, smelled it at the perfumerie, and it was a delight. My mom loved it, but something happened… On her skin, the performance is VERY good, it lasts a long time and projects too much. After eight hours, you can still smell it, which surprised me. On my skin, it doesn’t perform as well, and that hurt. My complaint is about the projection; I don’t know if it will cause olfactory fatigue, but I feel it’s very intimate. ABOUT THE SCENT: Perfect unisex where lavender dominates, sweet, bringing me back memories of the grape gum from Ultra Male (NOTE: they aren’t similar, I’m just saying it smells sweet). The nardos are noticeable, and if you don’t like this note, it’s not for you. After a few hours, it leaves a chocolatey (patchouli) sweet scent and leans more masculine. The notes I feel most are: Sweet Lavender, Nardos, and Patchouli. ABOUT PERFORMANCE: On my mom, it lasts 10 hours with good projection, then settles into a bubble. On my skin, it lasts 8 hours, moderate projection then discreet. OCCASIONS: Casual, not formal or elegant, but also not too informal. It stands out more at night and in cold weather. CONCLUSION: Scent 10/10, Longevity 10/10, Projection 10/10 (starts strong then envelops you). Occasions: Casual, cold climates. SHOULD I RECOMMEND IT? YES! It’s delicious and looks very attractive on a woman.
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful thing! It smells like sweet tobacco, but grape, but with flowers… IT SMELLS LIKE A NICHÉ PERFUME. I just bought it and I already can’t wait to wear it.
A fragrance with an incredible evolution. It starts floral but after a few hours transitions into sweet rum, finishing with tobacco.
Out of all the contemporary L’Interdits, this Absolu is my favorite, though I don’t absolutely love it because it doesn’t quite convince me and I wouldn’t pay the price, but since it was a gift 🥰, I’m enjoying it. The fragrance starts subtly with lavender and cardamomo, then the rum enters along with the white flower DNA from L’Interdit. Combined with that weak point of patchouli this time with tobacco, it gives a sexy and mysterious vibe. It’s warm, very sweet without being cloying. Ideal for autumn and winter. Unisex, leaning slightly feminine. Moderate-to-high performance. Try it before buying.
If you’re a man looking for something different, this is the best option. It doesn’t smell very feminine; honestly, I can’t imagine a woman wearing it. The scent has a white floral base, a grape note that’s there even if they don’t mention it, and a super soft sweet tobacco note at the bottom that gives it a dirty touch. It’s ultra unique and super sexy with exclusive aromatics. Perfect for dates in autumn, dressed up, at night, or in winter. I love it 10/10 (I don’t own it yet, so I don’t know how the longevity holds up).
It’s not a perfume exclusively for women. It’s an ultramegafragrance for all inhabitants of the world. It’s rich, versatile, happy, expensive but not too much. It lasts more than 8 hours comfortably and projects just enough to not go unnoticed. It has white flowers but isn’t feminine. It has tobacco and rum, but isn’t masculine. It has cardamom, neroli, and jasmine that place it in the unisex range, but it goes way beyond. It’s universally unisex, bi, tri, non-binary, asexual, and blender. It has everything and not everyone has it. Take advantage. Givenchy does it to the max, once again.
The most universal perfume. It suits anyone. Delicious from start to finish.
It’s the type I like: exotic, original, mysterious, powerful. It doesn’t seem like anything currently trending. I don’t find it as unisex as they say; I find it feminine, though that’s very personal. A must-have in my collection.
Sensual notes of orange blossom, woody, mysterious, intense, and elegant.
No point; I keep trying every L’Interdit variant, but they’re just not for me. Givenchy abandoned me after years of a total love affair.
Intense. My brother gifted it to me for my birthday because he had praised my mom’s perfume, L’Interdit Rouge. I’m not used to such heavy fragrances, but this is a big yes. Heavy in just the right measure, it has body; I smell the alcohol heavily, smoky, which is why I rated it unisex—it fits perfectly on any gender, it symbiotizes with the skin, it molds. It’s not sweet, but it has a feminine point I can’t quite detect. A tiny bit for winter days to project without overwhelming, or plenty for night if you want to turn heads.
Can you get richer than this? Impossible. It’s ultra-unisex, so don’t be afraid to wear this bomb as a man; you’ll get tons of compliments. Enveloping nardos that fascinate everyone. Heavy projection and an easy 10 to 12 hours on skin. The quality of Givenchy is unmatched. Rating: 9.5/10.
I’ve been a fan of this line since the EDP relaunch in 2018; it was an instant click; I love those sticky, ambroxan nardos. I’d dare say this new L’Interdit Absolu is the best in the line (all the ones I own and have tried, I like). Givenchy missed a huge marketing opportunity for unisex; if straight male influencers who wear the EDP Rouge try this, they’ll flip out. It starts with ambroxan nardos, but here the sweet floral dose is extremely balanced by commercial masculine notes: tobacco takes the lead, almost sidelining the nardos. On my skin, it takes on tremendous intensity with that spicy touch of cardamom, lavender, and a subtle clove note not listed. In the drydown, I sense vetiver, similar to how it was worked in Gentleman Society (call me crazy, but my nose trusts it). The nardos are present throughout, but not as intense. In short, a massive perfume with great performance and perfect androgynous character for these times where the line between masculine and feminine is blurring thanks to niche.
I’m obsessed. It smells spicy, like tobacco—definitely potent—but the lavender softens it and gives it a relaxing touch. The nardos and white flowers step back to let the tobacco take center stage. It feels elegant with a retro vibe; it transports me to a leather bar, fine crystal, noble woods, my late grandfather’s study from the 70s with golden ornaments, and that red velvet dandy elegance. Yet, a woman in her 30s like me can wear it without issue. I feel a touch masculine, groovy but elegant, with 70s vibes. I’d wear it year-round, day or night; it stands out, and I don’t mind strong scents.
First off, the opening is quite masculine. It’s a special perfume, but the initial intensity wasn’t my cup of tea. The drydown is rich, cozy, and enigmatic all at once—perfect for cold weather. For me, Rouge is the most seductive in the L’Interdit line; Ultimate with cacao doesn’t grab me as much, though it’s certainly different. L’Interdit Transparente is the most versatile, delicious, and all-rounder. All of them have great performance with moderate sillage. A truly special line from Givenchy.
