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. L`Interdit 2003 was launched in 2003.

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.
