Givenchy L'Interdit: Floral EDP for Evening

Givenchy L'Interdit EDP is a fragrance that invites you to break the rules. This scent combines white floral notes with dark, earthy accords. It is a bold choice for the woman who is not afraid to express herself. L'Interdit is a long-lasting fragrance, perfect for making a statement.

From Pear to Patchouli: The L'Interdit Journey

The first spray of L'Interdit gives you a sweet pear note, mixed with the zest of bergamot. After about 30 minutes, the heart of the fragrance opens up with a bouquet of white flowers. Orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and tuberose create a rich, floral character. As the scent dries down after 2-3 hours, the base notes appear. Patchouli, vanilla, ambroxan, and vetiver give a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet finish. This fragrance has a moderate to strong projection, filling a room without being too overpowering. L'Interdit suits a confident woman who enjoys a touch of mystery and elegance.

Evening Scent for Special Occasions

L'Interdit is best worn in the evening or for special occasions. Its warm and sweet notes make it suitable for cooler weather. However, in the Gulf heat, the fragrance will become more intense. Be sure to apply it sparingly. This fragrance pairs well with elegant outfits, such as a cocktail dress or a tailored suit. It can also complement a confident and sophisticated mood. For layering, consider a vanilla or patchouli-scented body cream to enhance the base notes.

Why EDP Concentration Gives You 8 Hours of Wear

L'Interdit is an Eau de Parfum, which means it has a high concentration of fragrance oils, around 15-20%. This higher concentration gives the scent a longer wear time and a richer character. An EDP like L'Interdit lasts longer than an EDT (Eau de Toilette). You will not need to reapply it as often. Expect L'Interdit to last 8-10 hours on your skin, and even longer on your clothes. The sillage, or scent trail, is moderate to strong. People around you will notice the fragrance without it being too overwhelming. At 41.5 KD, L'Interdit offers great value because a little goes a long way, and the bottle will last for months of daily use.

How to Apply L'Interdit for a Lasting Scent

1. Moisturize your pulse points first. Fragrance clings better to hydrated skin, helping it last longer.
2. Spray L'Interdit from 15-20cm onto your wrists. Do not rub your wrists together, as this breaks down the fragrance molecules.
3. Spray on your neck and behind your ears. These areas generate body heat, which helps to project the scent upward.
4. Apply one spray on your chest or décolletage. The warmth of your body will help the fragrance diffuse throughout the day.
5. Optional: Spray the fragrance on your hair from 30cm away, or spray it on your hairbrush and then brush through your hair. This will leave a delicate scent trail.

To keep your L'Interdit bottle in good condition, store it away from direct sunlight. Keep it upright and at room temperature.
