I'm testing the Les Mythiques 2007 version. It is definitely a classic-style aldehydic floral. However, the aldehydes are a softer version, a la No. 5 Eau Premiere, much pleasanter to modern sensibilities, and they are sweetened by just a hint of fruit in the topnotes. The florals are so well-blended that it is difficult to identify individual notes, although I do get quite a lot of what I think of as traditional Rose-Jasmine Accord, with some iris underpinning. Base notes are rich, elegant, and powdery.

If you like the great classic perfumes - Chanel No. 5 and Joy - you will probably enjoy L'Interdit. I find both of those a shade on the too-powdery side for me, but I like and would happily wear L'Intedit. Classic, beautiful, appropriate for nearly any occasion.

It is very old fashioned classic scent. Aldehydic at the beginning and powdery-floral in base. It is warm, elegant and feminine. It`s reminds me about a wonderful lady which like it so much. Stylish woman in fantastic black hat in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". About Audrey Hepburn.

Legend has it this scent was created especially for Audrey Hepburn, and was worn exclusively by Ms. Hepburn for several years before Givenchy released it to the public. It is easy to see why Audrey Hepburn would have fallen for the scent -- its combination of flowers, fruit, and spices, anchored by a musky and resinous base, sits on the skin like a dream, and never hits a false note from start to finish. So, whether L'Interdit's origins are fantasy or fact, it is a scent that is as lovely and as graceful as Ms. Hepburn herself. Wear it and release "the Hepburn within."

Bought it after I had read an article in a magazine - it was already a fragrance hard-to-find.
The article went to to say that all women in the 60s were wearing it - it had become a madness...
I think, though that it is not my piece of cake - lacks in sweetness and sensuality - something I definitely look for in perfumes.
A friend, though fell in love with it, so I gave it to her.
She has been thanking eversince :-)
With those unafraid of curiosity lol, it is a MUST
very very different from fleurs d'interdit
