I really love this one and wish I could find occasions to wear it more. This girl has a strong personality and I feel I have to be in the mood. On my skin the sesame note is oily and prominent with tuberose (the creamy grapey kind) in the background. Very smooth and opulent. My dad used to wear something like this and I wish I knew what it was. He would wear female perfumes at times if he liked the smell and I wonder if that was the case with this memory. However, I do find this unisex, but I can’t tell if it’s because of this memory or because this is a dark scent. My mom likes dank patchouli/florals and she loves this one-also she has been known to steal my dad’s “fu-fu” so who knows! I don’t get a lot of patchouli up front, more of an overall woodiness underneath which smells more of vetiver to me, really well blended. Also oily, would definitely try on your skin. I know we always say this but some perfumes are more likely to change than others and I feel this is one of those. On my mom this is more peppery and we are spraying from the same bottle. I just sprayed some on to add to the review and my husband says, “Mmm it’s good, smells like berries”. And wow, it has sat for probably 6-8 months without me using it and I feel it is much sweeter now, I think the tuberose is now the star. Will update if the sesame comes back with a vengeance. It is still a mature scent, could not see anyone younger than 25 wearing this without being a little powerhouse haha! Also could see this being an absolute bomb if over-sprayed.

Just got this and I have to say the warmth in the intense is what was missing for me from the original EDP. I got the edp 3 years ago and wore it religiously for months and months, but suddenly I stopped wearing it bec it started giving me migraines and suddenly found it very screechy on me and idk maybe ever a bit cold? The warmth in the intense is the perfect balance. I would say the opening in the edp and the intense are quite the same, but the sesame and the Madagascar Vanilla notes keep it from turning sharp and heady. I can smell the black pepper and Im not mad at it at all, even though I wouldn’t gravitate to such a note in a fragrance. I truly hate it when perfumes turn masculine or androgynous on me, but this is sultry and powerful yet super feminine and femme fatale like almost everyone mentioned. I wouldn’t say this perfume is super grungy, but rather for super feminine ladies whose favorite color is just black? If that makes any sense I definitely prefer this one to the edp and think I’m going to wear it a lot during this winter season. Longevity on this is crazy, 3 sprays and I’m good to go. Out of all the flankers, the intense is a love for me and the Rouge Ultime. I wasn’t really fond of the Rouge one because of the ginger note, which was quite very mature for me unfortunately. However, I think the Rouge Ultime is my second favorite, that cocoa note is amazing. I would layer the intense with Black Opium le parfum, only the emphasize the lovely vanilla even more. All in all, 8.5/10

I really like L'Interdit Intense, a sensual and voluptuous fragrance, a perfume that brought to my mind a woman similar to Marilyn Monroe, happy, sexy and full of curves, who would wear such a fragrance so naturally that it would seem the scent of her skin. At the start, pepper is there but very balanced, not excesively strong, just as a subtle touch of spice that precedes the rest of the fragrance. Then the tuberose appears, which is the most predominant note throughout all the development of the perfume, sweet but not too much thanks to the sesame, which reminds me of the sesame oil that we sometimes use at home for Asian cuisine. The sweetness of this tuberose reminds me at first of the aroma of strawberry gum, something that had not happened to me in other fragrances with a note of tuberose but that I had read in the opinions of other reviewers. Later on, the sesame disappears and the vanilla starts to be very present, making the tuberose even warmer, sweeter and creamier. The sillage of this perfume is moderate-high and it lasts for about 10 hours on my skin. This is a fragrance that I really liked and that I am not going to include in my collection at the moment just for the simple fact that I have too many fragrances based on tuberose to finish before buying it. I feel that this is perfect for nights out, dinners, flirty dates ... Scent 8.5 / 10 Duration 9/10 Sillage 8/10 Quality / price 7/10 Versatility 6/10 Packaging 8.5 / 10 Would I buy again?

Stunning, elegant and sexy as hell. Wow, this is a complete love at first sniff for me. The gorgeous black packaging had me captivated and the bottle is beyond beautiful. Very classy and heavy. Will look stunning on any vanity. Opening spray is deep, dark vanilla, sesame and soft tuberose. The vanilla is truly warm and delicious while the black pepper stops it from being cloying. I can't stop sniffing my wrists! That creamy, milky vanilla mixed with the spices is just divine. This is a truly sophisticated perfume. I'd wear this with a long sleeve, velvet maxi dress that shows off a daring, high slit and long sleeves. It's perfect for fancy events, charity balls, or a intimate evening with your lover. L'Interdit Intense is a winner for me. I would only wear this in the evenings or for an event as it is too special to be worn throughout the day. This perfume is truly gorgeous and sinfully sexy. I honestly find myself reaching for this one over and over, even though I'm trying not to wear it casually. It just smells so damn good that I want to wear it all the time! Edit: My other half reacted to this one straight away. I stepped into his car in my black dinner coat and heels and he told me I smelt absolutely gorgeous! Edit again: This smells nothing like the original which is pure pear candy on me. This one is more of a special vanilla dessert. I just can't understand the amount of votes saying they smell similar because they don't!

I fell in love today. Hard. Two sprays of this unique and sultry beauty and I immediately purchased a full bottle. I've been searching absolutely everywhere for a signature scent. This is it. It's creamy and floral, just a little bit sweet and little bit spicy. I get the creamy sesame and some pepper. I imagine I can smell the vetiver. I love vetiver. The florals smell a bit like grape juice without smelling cheap or immature. The vanilla is absolutely gorgeous. There's something that smells a bit like liquorice. This perfume smells scrumptious but it isn't a gourmand, or girlie, or young. It's ageless. It's sophisticated and earthy but also clean and fresh. A little bit slutty and dangerous, but nobody would dare say a word to the boss bitch wearing it. The colour I associate with this perfume would be the deepest, darkest purple. I was told the scent filled the room, but wasn't overbearing or nauseating. I went to the grocery store and people's heads swivelled around to stare at me. My husband loves it and he doesn't give a damn about perfume. he said it smells like watermelon and maple syrup. No, it doesn't, but these are his favourite scents so it's a compliment of the highest order. I absolutely recommend everyone try this perfume. Not a safe blind buy but a must-try.

this is the absolute perfect perfume for me. i finally bought a big bottle of my own recently, but i've adored it since i first came across it over a year ago. i feel like nothing i can write will do it justice, you just have to try it. the sesame opening is so interesting and alluring. it dries to a smoky vanilla, but it's far from a typical scent of that category. dark, complex, sensual, almost gothic but in a feminine way. you need to be bold to wear it in the first place due to its nature and how strong and long lasting it is, but you need to be a great deal bolder to wear it outside of autumn and winter. i know it's available for everyone to buy and i'm posting this review publicly, but i feel like gatekeeping this scent as mine and only mine to wear all year round when going out, much like how audrey hepburn wanted the original l'interdit to be forbidden for anyone else to wear (hence the name). it might as well have my name written on it, it's as if my exact personality and style was liquified into a glossy black bottle. obviously i am only one person, and i don't think this would suit many people, but if you feel a similar way about this fragrance as i do, we would probably get along well and have very fun girls' nights out together.

It has been a long time since a perfume has excited and frustrated me with equal measure. This fragrance gives femme fatale vibes. It is sweet, sexy, mysterious and slightly spicy. I seem to not get as much sesame as others though. The black pepper also escapes my nose for the most part. I smell a darker, slightly more mature version of the OG Edp. The Madagascar Vanilla is divine! I love it so much. This perfume is captivating, uncommon enough without being weird. It captures the energy I want to give with my scent. I would not mind to be known by this scent and wear it for the rest of my life. But this is the second perfume recently that is signature scent worthy to me but doesn't perform the way I need it to. It projects and lasts only moderately on my skin and on clothes. And if I overspray the first few minutes are cloyingly sweet taking away the beauty of the scent profile. I really wish it would last longer. Maybe it will perform better in the spring (it is currently freezing cold where I live). But it will probably not be suitable to wear in the summer. I will keep testing and layering it. I won't give up yet because the essence of this perfume is everything I want in a perfume.

Contemplating about buying this for about two months and I finally gave one last decision by going to my nearest Sephora and battled this intense version or the rouge version. Turned out that I liked both but I ended up getting the intense rather than the Uber-famous rouge version. Reason being is that I have been saving this beast-performing perfume for colder weather, specifically Christmas. Since we don't have winter here so the definition of colder weather is probably 16-17 degrees Celsius at the lowest. This would probably fit in more because the rouge is too spicy for the surrounding noses (but I still liked it) and I would definitely see myself wearing this intense version at November-December (probably January too). I tested both this fragrance and the rouge, and both performed amazingly well. Specifically saying on my skin. I spritzed two times on each hand and part of neck at 10 a.m. and went places before deciding at 7 p.m. A friend literally can smell this scent (both) strongly at 5 p.m. so yeah that's a sign to actually buy it. after showing both my wrists, it came to a decision that the intense version is the 'it' perfume.

I have tested it in perfume store, very charming perfume, the mature version of "L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Givenchy" with more gourmand vanilla in the dry down plus sweetness note came from Sesame in the middle notes which is a special addtion ingrediant provides this perfume luxurious touch still with you after dry down, this perfume is Masterpiece, very fiminine, romance and magnificent, I think this the most Excellency version of L'Interdit family. This fragrance suitable to wear it at night in winter or Autumn seasons. Surely It lasts along time. I love to own it one day and add it to my collection. لقد جربته في متجر للعطور، إنه عطر ساحر للغاية، النسخة الناضجة من "جيفينشي ليندرتي إي دي بارفوم" مع المزيد من الفانيليا اللذيذة في القاعدة بالإضافة إلى نوتة حلوة جاءت من السمسم في النوتات الوسطى وهي مكون إضافي خاص يمنح هذا العطر لمسة فاخرة تظل معك بعد أن يبرد العطر، هذا العطر تحفة فنية، أنثوية للغاية، رومانسية وعظيمة، أعتقد أن هذه هي النسخة الأكثر تميزًا ورقياً من عائلة "ليندرتي". هذا العطر مناسب لارتدائه ليلاً في فصل الشتاء أو الخريف، بالتأكيد يدوم طويلاً. أحب أن أمتلكه يومًا ما وأضيفه إلى مجموعتي.

How this fragrance manages to be airy yet dark and mysterious is amazing! I am an over-sprayer and this fragrance never feels too much. It is a people pleaser, you’re gonna get compliments with this one but don’t mistake this for lacking personality or for being generic. It has a uniqueness to it, it’s sexy, luxurious, sophisticated, yet youthful and contemporary. The tuberose gives it that sophisticated femininity and the patchouli brings in the luxurious depth. I wear this for date nights, and it has always complimented the mood and me so beautifully. I know people might think of this as a cold weather scent, I don’t necessarily disagree but I have definitely gotten away with wearing it on warmer evenings, I think one can enjoy this all year round as long as it’s not too hot and sticky. Patchouli, Vanilla and Vetiver are some of my favorite notes ever! So it’s no surprise I love this fragrance. This is a designer fragrance done right.

This perfume reminds me of: creamy chewy Nerds candy. It’s sweet, tangy and creamy all at the same time. The black bottle is a perfect representation of how one feels when they wear L’interdit Intense; polarising, sexy, mysterious, unforgettable, strong, and has a presence that is unmatched. Everyone will stop in their tracks to see who you are because you smell intoxicating. It’s a vibe and mentally I become my alter ego when I wear L’interdit Intense and one can only imagine what that is. The sesame note is what takes the cake; it’s gives this fragrance that little “ je ne sais quoi” moment - you smell the nuttiness and the oiliness from the sesame note taking my senses to another level. Must try fragrance, instant love for me, and love wearing it in cooler weather since it’s strong! Givenchy outdid themselves with this flanker. The best out of all of them hands down and it doesn’t smell designerish at all!

L' interdit intense was quite the revelation. This perfume is just what I've been looking for, without even knowing it. The opening reminds me a little of the eau de parfum. It's a bouquet of white flowers, opulent orange blossom and carnal tuberose. After a few minutes, intoxicating, smoky, leathery vanilla comes through. It is a bold and alluring vanilla, velvety, yet not sweet. The black sesame gives a smoky vibe and the vetiver and a subtle patchouli provide a darker accord, to complete this masterpiece. If I had to choose between L' interdit eau de parfum and L' interdit Intense, I would definitely go for the Intense. Both share the same dna, both are beasts when it comes to longevity and sillage. The eau de parfum is luminous, glamorous and warm. The Intense is gothic, dark and sexy, reflecting its name. It's mysterious, almost mystical. Hauntingly beautiful. Forbidden.

I wanted to give my wife a gift and not knowing what perfume to take, I saw that L'interdit intense was coming out soon. I never smelled the original or the flankers, but the classy bottle appealed to me. My wife likes perfumes like; Mon guerlain, La petite Robe noire, Dior j'adore, Midnight Rose, etc ... So I didn't know what her reaction would be. Tested in store, it was love at first sight! Very intense fragrance but not annoying. Very predominant notes of vanilla and orange blossom ... Magnificent. But the general smell for me is a sweet and creamy macaroon. It reminds me of childhood ... When we wanted to eat all the time (non-food) products that smelled good. I sometimes put it on my wrist just to feel it throughout the day. She loved it and can't do without it anymore. Beautiful longevity, excellent sillage, ... ladies, we men love this fragrance!

I got the og just a couple of weeks ago and I love it. But I had a feeling that this one was going to be a bigger love and I was right. My husband found my packages on our porch and brought them in. I've gotten him into my love for all things fragrance. Well he opened this bottle up and sprayed it once into the air. He said it was so strong he thought it was going to wake me up. It didn't wake me but over an hour later I could still smell it in the area around my couch. I've only had it for not even an hour and it's already doing things that I love in my favorite dark fragrances, strength being number 1. I am detecting a change in the scent now with the one spray on my hand, it smells sweeter and stronger if possible. I'll update after I've had a few days with her. But she's gorgeous 🥰

This has a very deep and warm floral aura to it. It smells really sexy but approachable at the same time Givenchy l’interdit intense is a thick, sweet, nutty white floral fragrance. The perfect mix between tuberose and orange blossom gives off a bubblegummy vibe. A bit like grape bubble gum with a warm nutty sesame background. It is very suitable for winter and it is a perfect date night fragrance. Spraying this will make you feel so put together, elegant, confident and just boss lady vibes. Longevity and sillage are outrageous. Like VERY strong. This stuff lasts forever on my skin and projects like crazy. If you are a tuberose lover run don’t walk you have to try this. Ps. This is in the same family as ralph lauren woman intense and l’interdit rouge. 10/10 🖤

Goth office siren. I imagine all of the interdit perfumes as sisters with different personalities, who are all secretaries. I just think the DNA is very much meant to be worn at an office. L‘interdit edp intense is a goth woman who works at a corporate office in berlin. She is sexy, but you are scared of her. She seems super annoyed, like shes on the verge of yelling at you. You dont know if you would find that hot or if you would rather run away. She has dyed black hair with micro bangs and shes snacking on some licorice. She seems like she could be a dominatrix in her free time. You are 100% sure she must own some kind of crazy high heels and leather or latex attire. Even if you are scared of her, shes intriguing and you cant get enough of her.

Original Línterdit minus - jasmine - sweetness - longevity Add Sesame Patchouli This is nice, very interesting, very feminine cozy, sexy, yet fresh, not typically vanillic and even it is an intense version, it is less loud then the Original. I am quite surprised, that nobody complimented me (but I am wearing fragrances for myself) but what I meant to explain it is not a room filler fragrance. I mean if you hug someone or sit close next to, they will notice you, but this fragrance is not a beast mode like f.e. Montale. Somebody mentioned a licorice note - NOPE, I hate Anais/licorice it is not present. What I can detect is something fresh that came through and I am not sure from what exact component but it makes the perfume airy. Good Job!

This is my signature scent. It's woody, vanillary and gourmand. The original notes of l'inderdit help mellow it out but on my skin they aren't exactly at the forefront. On my skin it is very woody and very vanillary. However, most scents lean more vanilla and gourmand on my skin. The sesame is something else. When I think I'll sesame, I assume sesame oil however, in this it creates this really sophisticated woody vanilla. There is also a hint of leather in it that isn't animalic but oddly soft. I don't think you will find a scent as sophisticated, complex and well blended as this at this price. It generally smells like it should be triple the price and I am genuinely terrified if it being discontinued.

This has come one of my all time favorite scents, what can I say about this that hasn't already been said? Well, maybe I'll talk about how fantastic this tuberose is as an understated daytime scent. A real beauty, deep, dark, mysterious and at the same time also sophisticated and airy, not at all heavy, never brutal or childish. Those scents when the people in the room can't locate where the scent is coming from, and only the one who dares to get too close to you, directly on the skin, gets that delicious, very warm, very intimate sesame, which on warm skin is like a shy reminder of the forbidden passion of the night before... This fragrance is the scent of a mistress, really.
