GIVENCHY L'INTERDIT ROUGE ULTIME EDP 50ml, $219.
What’s in it?
Here is it if you like a white floral with hints of woody sweetness. Experts call this new scent an amber floral created by that famous perfumer trio, Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Fanny Bal, who had the job of unveiling a new facet of L'Interdit's future while respecting the original L'Interdit, made in 1957 by Hubert de Givenchy for his most famous client - Audrey Hepburn. So, expect the scent of sambac jasmine, creamy cacao, and ambroxan, which adds a woody and ambery aroma. Patchouli with vetiver and the smell of honey-sweet Balkan tobacco absolute.
Why do we like it?
Floral fragrances are sexy and sultry, and once laced with woody, creamy notes, they deliver a luxurious, extra-special quality. This new scent settles on the skin to become wearable for any occasion, but the hint of spice makes it a fragrance to complement any fashion look after five. For the festive party season looming, it's a fantastic choice for special events and ideal if you want others to notice your perfume.
The latest rosy designer scent.
