Love It
Not for me. I’m not great at determining notes, but this one seems floral and kind of sharp to me. It’s not horrible, but it’s not for me. I typically like warmer scents that don’t have that sort of sharp alcoholic tang to them. I don’t know how else to describe it. I would be okay wearing this, but I don’t enjoy it personally.
Love, love, LOVE! This scent is exactly what I was searching for. Floral enough for spring, with a spicy twist. I can wear this to work or out to dinner and it is equally appropriate. Plus I can spray it a couple of times in the morning & still smell it at the end of the day.
I LOVE L'interdit by Givency! I bought the big bottle! My husband loves it too. i don't wear it everyday (partly cost) since I don't want to get sick of it. But it is my favorite. It has floral notes with vanilla (I am guessing at the notes). It just envelopes you and makes me happy. The only thing I am sad about is that it doesn't have an extra long staying power. I would say it is gone in 5 hours? That is a guess since I have never measured it but when I wear it I have to refresh it.
Smells amazing !!! Love this scent and I get so many compliments!!!
Flowery, but a soapiness. Didn’t work for me.
Love this scent, it’s giving boss
This style of perfume is for older ladies wanting to go out to a dinner date, coffee with the girls or a date. It smells good and does have a fresh fruity smell but is not a heavy smell, more of the citrus fruits if you like them.
Very pretty but wished it lasted longer. It reminds me of Burberry London a lot.
I go back and forth on this scent every time I wear it. It’s a BIG fizzy grape soda tuberose, but there’s also something that makes me think of cocoa butter but salty? Definitely not for a warm day, safer for a cool evening.
Incredibly romantic. It’s very Jasmine, white flowers forward. The patchouli is not strong at all. I’m not a huge fan of it, so I’m glad that it’s not very noticeable. It’s so nice that the jasmine and orange blossom are so realistic and not at all synthetic smelling. I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a love story that takes place in a night garden blooming with white florals.
It's kinda spicy and floral at the same time.....I like it
Its delicious. I love it. Hard to describe. Just add it to your cart
i love this scent, i have the big bottle of this. this is a nice evening scent and it gives mature and sexy.
This is an elegant scent. I like the longevity of it yet it’s not too strong. Good winter or evening perfume.
This scent is not for me.
I really love this fragrance. to me it smells amazing but my husband thinks its to floral smelling. on that note i will say it's very strong and gave me a headache but i still loved it. because of my husband not caring for the fragrance and the headache i am giving it 3 stars
I really loved this one and I got compliments fro. All my friends, it felt good to wear this one.
Smells like old woman lmao idk why it’s hyped up it’s not sexy like Libre or Black Opium it’s just pungent
I hate the smell so much!!
This is sexy but not overpowering. Perfect
Beautiful new scent for me
Spicy and floral. Definitely not youthful though. I did not get any fruity or pear aromas, mostly sweet and spicy. Well rounded and elegant but more on the mature side. Also poor longevity. A single spray lasts barely an hour.
Love this fragrance. Hubby loves it too!
This perfume is way too strong and spicy for my taste. I don't like it at all but if you do like spiciness and strong smell.
The best!
Love love love, my new signature scent
Smells like a dream... so in love!
Good for evening dates
On my skin, this is giving grape soda. Warm and woodsy with a hint of sweetness. Perfect for winter or fall
Smells so good, I think this could be one of my favourite scents.
Not a bad scent. Not my type. Someone mentioned grape soda. That is what it smelled like on my entire body. A tad bit different when I only did my wrist. I am using SB to find a signature scent. This is not it for my body chemistry. I like woody floral and did not get this on me. It additionally did not last. The rouge lasts longer but of course has a spicy scent quite different than L'interdit. I tried!
Sweet and Smoky, it reminds me of chewing tobacco. I will wear it in the evenings and see how it goes.
Not good.. reminds me of Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. Lol
Absolutely love this one. Sweet and slightly spicy. Not too overpowering, but gentle and lasts for a long time on the skin. Sits close.
I love this fragrance. One of my favorites.
I really love this scent, I’d say it’s the perfect fall perfume. It smells like spiced pears, which feels super warm and cosy when I wear it. Sadly sillage isn’t the most powerful, but it lasts quite a long time. Not sure I’d buy a full bottle because of this as I like to wear perfumes where the scent fills the room, but it’s definitely a lovely scent for people who like moderate projection.
Warm and sweet but reminds of a lot of other scents.
Givenchy is my fucking scent y'all. I love all the smells
Better than I expected. The pear or fruit notes in this are wonderful and are exactly what I've been looking for in a perfume. They come off as the grape smell I would smell in church when they had communion. It lasts at least 6 hours on me, but it can last longer if you spray it on fabric.
Awesome - pure delight
At first I was unsure about this scent. After using it for a few days I fell in love with this unique, beautiful scent. The only downside is the initial spray is strong then it seems to disappear after an hour.
My mom, sisters, and I all did not like this scent. It smelled fruity and almost like incense.
My go to perfume.
This is a very different perfume. I wouldn't describe it as feminine, it's not masculine either, it pushes more to neutral. It's delicious but I can already see that it wouldn't be one many would like because it doesn't have that common vanilla scent or smells like the typical floral. It's worth a try for sure, I can tell you it gives the feeling of classy and expensive.
One of my all time favorite aromas. The floral is heady at first, but the earthy dry down is an amazing combination. I have been stopped several times asking what the fragrance was because it smelled so good.
A sweet fragrance at first spray, the fruit and flower notes are soft but as the hours go by I can smell them softly through the sweetness. The silage is about arm length at hour 4 and went to a skin scent after. This is a date night scent to me, not quite mature or young scent. It’s a classic scent redone to modern women.
A little too sweet smelly
I LOVED this fragrance!! I loved it so much that I used my scent bucks ($21) and a coupon I received from Scentbox and purchased the full size fragrance and got almost $40 off a full size bottle. This was such a good deal!!
I absolutely love this fragrance and will be buying the full sized bottle. It is super mysterious and sexy, and receives lots of compliments. My fiancé loves it too!
Love it. If you love tuberose you will love this one. A less fizzy version of Armani’s My Way. Bought the full size!
Beautiful. Bought the full-size bottle
I enjoy the scent of pear and vanilla that this gives me. It is sweet but not overpoweringly so. Very feminine and light.
Very jasmine and very mature
Couldn’t stand smells like cologne on my skin . Had to exchange wasn’t very feminine
Sweet, fairly strong fragrance. Boyfriend says smells like laundry to him.
I really love this scent. I will be buying a full sized bottle
I expected to love this a lot more. Its personal preference of course but there's not enough of the pear note for me. It's very sweet and floral and a bit mature for me.
Love it in the bottle, but it doesn’t smell good on me. I’ve liked it on integers, though. A unique fragrance, but I guess it’s not for everyone.
Love this everyone tells me how great it smells.
I’ve been using this frangance for the past few days and I’ve been getting so many compliments. I like that it’s very seductive and Also long lasting. Perfect for a night out. Would highly recommend it.
Um it's a hard no for me. I smell one scent, just like straight musk. It smells so bad lol. Maybe when I'm 75 years old I would wear it, but I'm 29 now and it's just like strong musky older women scent.
At first spray I liked it but after wearing it for a few minutes I felt like it was a very strong old lady smell. But it didnt last long and in this case that was a good thing.
Excited to try but not for me.
Perfect for the office
Love this fragrance and will likely buy a full bottle of this. It lasts a long time and smells lovely. It is a little more mature than what I prefer but I will wear it anyway because it makes me smell expensive lol. I will wear this for a night out or somewhere fancy.
This is a strong powerful punch of hey world I'm standing right here . Its sweet with a one two punch so don't put on too much. Its romantic in a slap in the face way. it is beautiful and floral but that sweetness of grape candy takes it far from quite. It is noticeably elegant, a bit mature for a young woman. I loved it my daughter did not. My husband liked it as it warmed on the skin. Straight off the 1st spray he didn't. But as it warmed and faded the more he liked it.
I did like this perfume quiet a lot. it is deff not for everyone. my mum didn't like it as much on her, but she did like it on me. it has good silage and I'd say it's sweet but also strong like for a boss babe!
Grandma goes to church
I was SO excited to try this one! It’s just not for me. Smells exactly like an old lady Avon perfume. I’ve had a subscription to both Scentbird and ScentBox and this is the first perfume I have rated so poorly. Very mature white floral. If that’s your vibe you’ll love it though!
Really pretty scent. Mature but not old lady.
Beautiful and mature. Stayed close to the skin, but lasted a long time.
very strong sillage, good longevity and projection too. it's very feminine and the white florals are really sweet and nice; but only on the drydown. the opening is very much medicinal, smells like grape medicine or currants and takes a bit to settle in and for the other notes to come out. maybe i just need a couple more tries to warm up to it but i'm not sure it's my thing. update: on second try I like it a lot more!! the opening is still tough for me but I love the pear and tuberose.
Absolutely beautiful scent... many compliments.. even from strangers.. hubby dashed out to buy me a big bottle of it.. and it lasts forever on the skin... love it!!..
Ewww, i was super excited to try out this perfume, but damn that smells super nasty, nothing feminine about it, you re going to smell like an old dead lady literally!
Simply didn’t work for me.
Very nice scent overall - love it when first sprayed but less enamored with it longer term. Still nice but not as unique. Definitely lasts a long time.
Didn’t like it much. Have it to my mom who loved it.
Didn’t work with my body chemistry.
Gorgeous. I absolutely love this fragrance! Lasted all day.
This is such a beautiful fragrance. It reminds me of grapes. It’s so lovely and timeless and has become on of my favorites. It’s crisp and fresh and no too overpowering in my opinion.
I’ve never received so many compliments about good I smell! The fragrance is sweet but subtle. One of the notes remind me of pears
I really love this perfume! White florals can either be really nice on me or turn too clean and this one doesn’t turn too clean for me and I love that! It’s nice and sweet and last a really long time! It’s been perfect in the cooler fall weather and I think it could be okay in the summer but I have only tried it in the fall weather.
Strong but a very nice floral. Dries down softer.
Not for me. Too strong.
Too strong
Very nice fragrance…a bit spicier than j was expecting but I’m enjoying it!
It smells so good on me... Not so much on others I sprayed it on.
Not for me. A bit too mature for my taste.
Too musky
Smells nasty. I don’t think it smells like old lady! Old lady’s smell better than this! I’m a perfume hoarder. But this is a Hard No brainer Pass for me
Does smell a bit more mature, but I am in love with this sent. Doesn't last more than an hour though.
Very strong, but beautiful scent. I will be keeping
This is a very sweet, tart and flowery scent. It’s not bad by any means, but very strong and probably more suited for a younger crowd.
This smells horrible!
I can see why people think this smells old lady-like. its warm and a bit strong but not unpleasant to me. Im surprised sandalwood isnt listed as one of the notes bc thats what it smells like to me
This was awful! I'm sending it back right away. It smells like my grandma's school reunion.. Definitely for a more mature demographic....
This is my signature perfume. I get SO many compliments on this. My boyfriend loves it and when my I got my sister to sign up for scentbox, she asked me for perfume recommendations and I mentioned this one so she picked it as her first month’s fragrance and she fell in love with it too! She said it “smells SO good!” It’s in the Floriental Woody family of fragrances which is my favorite type of fragrance, and it has mostly white florals which is my favorite type of floral and that is most noticeable during the initial spray. Then as it dries down, that vetiver and patchouli really help to round the scent out and add a lot of depth so that it’s not too floral. It becomes a lot more warm during the dry down as well. There’s also an overall distinct sweetness to this perfume that takes it from good to great and makes it IRRESISTIBLE imo! L’interdit means forbidden in French and it definitely does have that sexy, forbidden vibe to it. It’s also quite unique compared to most of the fruity floral perfumes that is currently flooding the market. Words can’t express how much I love this perfume! I think it’s best worn during colder months, especially winter, and during the night for a romantic date or just a night out in town. The longevity is pretty good too. This will forever be my favorite, go-to signature perfume!
I didn’t like this at all. Smells like something an elder lady would wear
It was not my favorite, but it wasn't horrible. Just not 'notes' that I prefer in a fragrance. It was a bit 'sweet' on me. I love more oriental, woodsy fragrances, and that it NOT this perfume. I'm sure it's wonderful for some people, but not for me. What most people have to know, is their own body chemistry. What I love on me, may be horrible on the next person. In other words, fragrance is unique to each wearer. That's what makes it a 'signature for you'. My son will say he knows when I'm around, because he smells my 'signature' fragrance, which is Euphoria. If that gives you any kind of indication of my fragrance preference. I love the ORIGINAL. None of the others!
It's definitely a mature scent with deep orchid tones. I like it but I don't LOVE it.
Got it cause of TikTok recommendation, really disappointed. Smells like a old lady and the dry down is really not for me.
I love this scent. Long lasting and the dry down with the patchouli and vetiver comes in. I love fragrances that have patchouli and vetiver.
I really like this scent! It's great for a business setting or just in general. It smells mysterious and sultry, and has a slight grape smell when first applied. Love it!
Smells like something I smell on a rich old lady.
I don't love it but I do get compliments on it.
I bought this due to the hype surrounding it, but I did not like this scent. It reminded me of the grape scented markers I used to color with as a kid lol
It was very powdery but it was a nice smell.
Fresh flowers. That’s what you’ll smell like when you wear this. Just bee ?? careful - I seriously tempted a few bees while wearing it AND got a very nice compliment from a handsome stranger!
This smelled too mature for me.
My favorite scent!
Super strong and a bit “old lady” smelling at first, but it wears nicely!
It’s a nice fragrance. I will use it from time to time. It’s not my favorite because it is so sweet and I found it did not last long. I recommend using it in the cooler months because of the level of sweetness.
Reminds me of DKNY Nectar love. Sweet almost like honey sweet.
I love this scent. So bold and romantic!
I really love this scent. It is a bit overwhelming in the bottle, but smells great on skin. The grapefruit undertone is great. Only complaint is that it does not last long at all on me.
I like the floral and woody notes.
Smells nice. Not going to be my signature. A bit too rich.
Delicious! One of my top 3.
I have to say I really love this scent. It has an initial smell of gardenia, followed by a brush of citrus followed by an ending undertone of super soft musky woods. All three scents go well together and marry perfectly without one trying to outshine the other. I would describe this fragrance as sophisticated with a hidden hint of mysterious sass!
This one I got because of TikTok, it did not live up to the hype for me I thought it smelled like old lady mixed with kids cough syrup. Made me nauseous. Again, glad for scentbox that I can trial scents before buying a big bottle!
Love it. Soft clean, lasts pretty long, not eye watering.
Romantic & sophisticated scent!
Light floral scent that lingers throughout the day.
This was a big no for me. I sprayed it on my hand as soon as I got it and it was back in the mail for an exchange the same day. The opening is nice and smelled like grapes which I enjoyed but something in the dry down reminds me of Chloe nomad which I dislike. I will say it performs well. I literally had to scrub my skin and I only spray it on my hand.
Loved it
So when I smelled the bottle of this I did not like it at all. But I always try the fragrance on myself. It smells so good!!! Its a light fragrance that smells a bit like grape and I love it. I wouldn't want this to be my signature scent. Not an everyday wear for me. But its such a fun addition to my collection. My husband loves the scent and wishes I would wear it more.
I did not enjoy this scent at all. It’s very strong and musky. It reminds me of an old lady smell.
This is the first scent from scent box that I did not enjoy. A YouTube video recommended this perfume, so I was pretty hopeful. To me, it smells like incense that you burn in your home. But unfortunately, not the kind you would enjoy. I allowed my sister and my mom to smell the perfume as well and they did not enjoy it either. I’m so grateful they allow exchanges, I will be returning it soon.
I have just received the fragrance but so far I am really enjoying it. Scentbox is a great way to test new fragrances before purchasing an entire bottle.
Fabulous scent but did not stay with me as long as other Givenchy scents.
I wish I could give this endless stars. It is absolutely incredible. One of the best perfumes that I have ever come across in my entire life. Amazing. I will be buying a full-size bottle immediately. This is my new signature scent. It is truly perfect for any occasion. Romantic, fun, errands, daytime, etc. I am in love.
I Love this! So far this is my favorite. It has just the right amount of musk, linger and sexiness. I agree with everything Brooke said in her review....scroll down. Love love love. Must try this one!
I love this scent! It’s sexy, and addictive. Kinda of remind me of a honey.
Beautifully strong scent. This exudes confidence and is a great night out scent.
Smells good but I wouldn’t use it for daily use I think it’s more of a night out kinda smell. It’s strong and mature
I like it
This is one of my absolute favorite fragrances. While it is quite strong at first (I only use 1-3 sprays), I find that as it warms and blends with the skin, it blooms into a unique, sweet, fruity floral with great longevity. Fruity - pears and red berries, Floral - warm jasmine (modern, not too "mature" smelling), slightly woody, and there is something that gives it a bubbly yet creamy feel - almost like a root beer float (perhaps this is what lends to its uniqueness). I highly recommend giving this one a try!
Definitely a winter fragrance. I wouldn't say an older smell but it's heavily floral musk so if that's not your thing, take a pass on this.
Not a bad scent but a little too mature for my liking.
I have had my eye on this perfume for a few months now ever since I saw a girl on TikTok say it was her favorite scent of all time. She said it had hints of grape which I was skeptical about but once I got it in my Scentbox I immediately knew what she was talking about but it's so subtle and not overpowering. This is such a sexy and unique scent. I can see this growing to be my signature scent. Get this perfume!
Amazing Scent!!!!!
It no for me smells like a old lady.??
AMAZINGGG! ! !
Beautiful fragrance, dark and fruity.. Someone referred to this as a "sexy grape" scent and that is exactly what I think of when I smell it.
New favorite
A very unique and intriguing fragrance. It's at once spicy and sweet with a top note I still can't identify. It's very sexy! on the right person this perfume could smell incredible, but on my own personal chemistry was just okay. Not mad at it, but wouldn't buy a full bottle.
Original but still classic
It is floral but very nice not harsh or overwhelming and has a good undertone
Not for me at all... Smells like something a much much older woman would wear.
Very pleasant scent
I love the original version. I wanted to try this and see what it was like. Although it’s pretty different, initially I really liked it. But as it settled towards the dry down I didn’t enjoy it as much. I’ll have to give it another shot, but the original is still superior to me.
Love Love Love !!!
Not for me
It smes delicious
Absolutely Lovely!
So good. It starts out very powdery bubblegum-like in a floral way, and then the vetiver and patchouli come out to play. The vetiver and patchouli make the scent a little peppery and woody. The drydown is a little fresher and less sweet. It stays on clothes for a really long time. I love it. It's not super overpowering.
While the initial burst is not my favorite smell, the dry down scent is so addictive. I will definitely be adding this to my collection.
A beautiful scent, light. It doesn't last long though. Grabbed a sample of l'Interdit Intense at Nordstrom and will try layering them. I'm in love with this fragrance.
I love it smells nice and refreshing.
I’m very picky but I love this one!!! Very sophisticated!!!
Smells like grandma. This is definitely made for the more mature woman. Nothing exciting other than the name going on here
This is a very floral fragrance. It's kind of almost sour at first. Then it starts to get more sweet and also quite spicy and leaning toward oriental. There's this note that runs through it the whole time though that's almost citrusy - that's probably part of why at first it leans sour. It kind of reminds me of cleaning products.
Not my favorite. Too powdery on my body. Guess it didn’t work well with my chemistry
Smells good for an older woman.
Addictive for sure! Beyond what I hoped??
Very interesting scent. Smells very floral and a hint of sweetness that smells identical to grapes and Grape leaves. It isn't my favorite and I don't see how it's an oriental scent. More floral for sure. Not my favorite as I'm more of a gourmound fan myself. I got this as a sample at Macy's so I'm glad it wasn't my choice here.
Was excited to try this and when it arrived the smell made me think of the littlest oldest lady I know, yep smells like a scent for much much older women, did not like at all. Sent back for an exchange.
Definitely not my favorite Givenchy fragrance. It smells similar to Hot Couture in the opening, but on my skin I just smell grape and green leaves. After a couple of hours it dried down to a skin scent that East too bad, but I definitely wouldn’t purchase a bottle
very classy. I would this is more for special occasions. Can't wait to to wear it out. Husband loves it too.
This is my signature perfume. It is a floral woody with the perfect amount of sweetness. The darker notes definitely rounds out the perfume and makes it more grounded and interesting. I had to have it at first smell and interestingly enough, it’s also my bf’s favorite. He always tells me I smell so good whenever I have it on. If you love white floral and sweet perfumes (but not overly sweet) then you will love this. It is sexy yet classic; I feel like you can wear it both on a date and in the office. It’s definitely more of a fall type scent though. Can’t give this enough stars!!!
