L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge by Givenchy

I love it! My husband smells caramel for half an hour and burnt rubber… 🤦 But he admitted that, even though he doesn’t like it up close, on my skin and trail it’s pleasant. I got a 12ml travel size because with that I have enough for a lifetime. It’s a bomb.

On my skin, it’s warm, spicy, and very dark. It’s nocturnal, sensual, and potent. Although it’s marketed as feminine, on me it works as unisex because the woods dominate the sweetness. At first, it was hard for me, as even though I like intense scents, woods and spices are darker than usual. I barely notice a slight citrus touch for contrast. After wearing it several times, I finally enjoy it. ♥️ I see it as ideal for night, maybe my signature night scent. I recommend testing on skin before buying or, like me, grabbing the small size to adapt to the intensity without getting overwhelmed.

It reminds me of Chanel No. 5, very floral, but it’s not for me because it feels too serious.

When I say I want a red fruit perfume, I mean THIS, not a goat milk one. It’s mature, sweet enough to be seductive without being cloying.

I was depressed when I couldn’t buy it after trying it, haha. It’s rich and lasts quite a while. It smells expensive and is special. I don’t recommend it for sensitive noses.

A perfume to make sure you don’t go unnoticed 😍, a warm and spicy bomb. At first, you notice the orange with the bitter touch of ginger, and deeper down, the black pepper leaf and the addictive, sexy neroli of L’Interdit. It dries down quite creamy, blending the wood and patchouli. If you like something intense, bitter but not excessive, and want to be the center of attention, this is yours.

Delicious, it’s like a concentrated glühwein, but that’s its problem because it can be too potent. It doesn’t go unnoticed; I recommend it for cold climates and open spaces, but you can end up tiring out the people around you.

Every time I wear Interdit Rouge, people compliment it. It’s addictive; I even want to kiss myself. It’s so sexy!!

Sexy, sensual, and sexual 💋, an aphrodisiac bomb that smells completely different from anything I’ve tried. It won’t be the most versatile one I own, but it’s the one I like to save for special occasions, mainly nighttime and when it’s cold. I come from the original L’Interdit, the classic, which I like but doesn’t fully convince me because I find it a bit “stuffy” and serious for my taste. The Rouge, on the other hand, is a younger, more mischievous version that I matched with instantly. I love it! It’s fire and sin in a bottle 🔥

At first, a vibrant touch of ginger dominates with a subtle citrus nuance. Then, delicate sweet flowers emerge, giving way to a base of creamy woods. The dry down leaves a mentholated and sweet sensation that envelops with character. I recommend testing it before buying and moderating the sprays, as it’s an intense scent with a strong presence.

Beautiful and different, but not what I expected. I thought it would be darker, but on my skin it’s fresh, smelling like Mentholatum with a sweet touch. I like it, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. The longevity is incredible.

I’ve had this for years and I struggle to wear it to work. It’s really for gifting to someone who loves the nightlife club scene; it’s made for that, not for dinner, movies, casual outings, or romantic dates, let alone work. It’s very night-specific and for specific use. It’s much darker and more sensual than Carolina’s Shoe.

An aroma that doesn’t quite fit with me, I think it’s the ginger note. I have Linterdit Absolu and I’m thrilled with it, so if this happens to anyone else, I suggest they try this other one instead.

Hello, hope you’re having a great day. I’m back to leave a review on one of my favorite lines. As I’ve said before, beyond the marketing, if a fragrance likes us, we just have to enjoy it. This is my favorite from the line of all the ones I’ve tried; I feel it suits my skin and personality very well. The opening feels fresh, like a juice of sweet oranges mixed with cherries, even though it’s not listed. As minutes pass, I start to feel a spicy, sparkling hint from the ginger. In the heart phase, it darkens a bit; I get a sensation of slightly bitter chocolate with dry spicy touches from the black pepper leaf, which feels drier and has a slight green note, yet reminds me of a spicy red pepper. That sensation continues into the dry down, but the chocolate fades to the background without disappearing completely; the main role goes to a creamy woody sensation provided by the sandalwood, something earthy due to the vetiver and patchouli, always with a sweet but not overwhelming base. I find it dynamic, very attractive, with significant development and well-marked stages. I’m enjoying it now in summer, though I think it will shine brightest during transition periods: summer to autumn and winter to spring. Regarding occasions, I think it works very well for semi-formal events and dates, as it has mysterious facets that give it sensuality. Finally, longevity and projection: on my skin, while this line isn’t a bomb, it can reach a medium-high projection at the beginning and then settle to a moderate distance for most of the time, with an average longevity of about 7 hours. For now, it’s my favorite from this line, and I hope many dare to try it and enjoy it as much as I do. Greetings from Argentina.

To my taste, a totally winter aroma. It has a fresh and spicy opening due to the ginger and orange; soon the scent turns warm and enveloping. It’s mysterious, with a darkness of very elegant sensuality.
