Pictures
Hubert de Givenchy, designed L’Interdit (or Forbidden) specifically for actress, his friend and muse Audrey Hepburn. ‘Mais, je vous l’interdis…’ (“But I forbid it!”), was actresses’s answer when Hubert de Givenchy expressed his will to make this perfume available widely. That’s how this perfume got its name. It was created in 1957 , reformulated and re-launched in 2003.
Top notes are rose, peach, osmanthus, peony and violet leaves. At its heart, the notes of orange blossom, roses, peach, plum, tuberouse, and heliotrope blend in perfect harmony. The fragrance evolves towards a trail of sandalwood, amber, iris, patchouli, moss, musk and cedar.

I too do not have the original to compare. However, I would like to say that at first spray, it smells like bug spray. After about 5 minutes it starts smelling like violets, and after about 15 minutes it smells like violets with just a hint of powdery smell. Never dreamed it would dry down to such a gorgeous scent. I guess people either LOVE or HATE this scent!

I agree with Yumm and several others here, glad i am not the only one to have noticed, the old version was lovely, this new one certainly doesnt come anywhere near it, I too dislike this new version very much and feel so "ripped off" by paying for it

I have tried it today on a tester paper the red box of EDT. This is a really nice scent where i can clearly detect a sweet note of strawberry and peach but also a very very pleasant flower notes on the drydown. Lasts quite long for an EDT and would be really nice for spring summer i think. One day i will buy it.
I have not tried the vintage one, but having nothing to compare with i really like this version. Maybe i would changee my mind after trying the old version, but since i haven´t i love this one, don´t know wither about the version that came after this one.... This is the only version of "L´interdit" i have tried by far.

Ugh. The old version was beautiful. This one is truly terrible. I gave it away.

I am shocked by how much I love this perfume. I bought it mostly because (among others) I collect Givenchy perfumes. This has a strong opening-powdery but not so powdery that you feel like choking. I would recommend a light touch because a little does go along way. After a few minutes the powder fades but does not disappear and I get a sweet light note-tuberose I think and plum and finally sandlewood and musk. I know this perfume is mostly disliked but it smells amazing to me. I never thought I would find a Givenchy fragrance that I would like better than Organza but I did.

Givenchy, with it's stellar image failed to replicate the original version of this once beautiful scent. I wore this in the 70's and the memory of the fragrance lingers on. It was said that Audrey Hepburn wore this while filming Breakfast at Tiffany's and so it's popularity rose. I was highly disappointed to find that the reformulated version had an unpleasant mix of what smells like faux flowers, a distant cry from the original scent. My search is on for a vintage bottle of this haute couture fragrance of the past.

It was the new version I tried. It started out nice enough, spicey with some incense, but quickly turned to a rancid cheap smelling floral. It disappears fast with my chemistry too. From what I've read, the newer version is nothing like the original.
