Review of L'Interdit (2018) Eau de Parfum by yayimhere

I was wandering around a department store in Sydney, during June in 2024, a sales lady from Givenchy handed me a sample of this as I walked by, and I'm so grateful I took it that day. Even after I finished the sample, I couldn't stop thinking about this. This has to be one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever smelt in my life. Citrusy, creamy, heady and heavy jasmine, with a base of vetiver. The first I have smelt like it, and I really think it could be a staple in my collection. Smells to me like a woman who has her life together. Very grown up in a way, I imagine a woman who has impeccable taste in professional clothes, lives in a colder place, and has a moody countenance. Someone who wears darker colours; black, maroon, and deep brown, with gold statement jewellery. Heady, intense and prominent. Definitely more of an alluring perfume, not something I'd imagine a teenager or a "clean girl" to wear. In my opinion this is the ultimate "I want to feel put together and mysterious" perfume, my signature this winter hopefully! Very heady, and lasts for agesss. I once put on a spray on my skin, and even after a shower I could still pick it up clearly. I wasn't able to get the smell out of my clothes until a few washes had been done. Three sprays is definitely enough to be able to last all day. Definitely a winter scent, as it has made me feel like I'll pass out in the summer.
