Review: “L’Interdit Rouge” by Givenchy

INFO

L’Interdit Rouge by Givenchy 30ml EDP

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

I smelt the original L’Interdit and did not like it. Smelling it taught me that there can be such thing as too much of a good thing. I love tuberose but this tuberose bomb tested my willingness to commit to the note. This scent let me know that I want to date tuberose, but I do not want move in and get a mortgage with it. Many in the fragrance community described L’Interdit Rouge as the best flanker so I decided to give it a try. I smelt this at least 3 times in 3 different stores before I was ready to take the plunge.

HOW DOES THIS FRAGRANCE MAKE ME FEEL?

This scent will send you to the dentist. Not a root canal, but definitely a cavity. This scent can plow through any winter snowstorm as it is heavy and heady. This scent could induce a coma, so test your sugar levels before you spray. This scent belongs in a high-end candy store where only customers with the sweetest of sweet-teeth need apply!

RATING

3 – MIST Opportunity: I like this scent but it is still a little too cloying for me. It is VERY sweet and I feel it needed another note to balance it out and stop it from being too overwhelming. It is perfectly blended but I am happy that I only have the 30ml and nothing larger.
