Scent description (editorial impression)
Tuberose is the whole argument here. It comes up creamy and very large over a pear sweetness that Givenchy's own note list does not mention, and from there the room divides: one wearer gets a white bouquet done properly, the next gets bubblegum, grape erasers, cough syrup or, in one husband's verdict, a great-grandmother handing out peppermints in church. Those who love it keep it for offices and evenings and call it the grown-up one in the collection; those who do not have scrubbed it off. The staying power draws no such argument — twelve hours on skin for one, still there the next day for another, and sillage big enough that one wearer put her cardigan and scarf straight in the wash.

- No reformulation record found in the sources reviewed — No counted report sets one bottle of the 2018 L'Interdit against another. What wearers compare it with is the 1957 fragrance whose name it took: a Parfumo reviewer who owns the vintage parfum, eau de parfum and eau de toilette finds the new one merely pink beside them, another writes that it smells nothing like the first, and a FragranceNet buyer asks the shop to stock the 2007 version again. Those are two perfumes, not two bottles of one. Givenchy's page marks no change to the fragrance it sells now.L'Interdit Eau de Parfum - community ratings and reviews
