L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge Ultime

I received this as a tester first, from a purchase I made. Then I decided to buy it months later but I couldn’t exactly remember how it smelled like so this was partially a blind buy. I realized that there’re not enough reviews on this perfume since it’s new and existing reviews vary a lot from a certain resentment to absolute adoration. My personal opinion is that I absolutely love it. It starts very strong and spicy but after it settles down it turns into a very nice rich scent. I love the dry down the most because that’s where cocoa and tobacco enters and I’m a fan of sweeter scents but beginning is also beautiful with tuberose and orange blossom. I think everyone’s chemistry might bring out something different, on my mom the dry down isn’t sweet like mine, it’s somehow sharp so that can be considered. I accidentally dropped a tiny drop on ground and the smell lingered in the whole house house so I think sillage is quite strong but not in a disturbing way. I’m very self conscious about how I smell but not disturbing others is important too. Another thing I realized with this perfume is that it smells differently than when you smell closely on your wrist vs smell it around. I found it’s even better from a distance because I believe it brings out the notes better, so harmonious. It’s more of a feminine smell but I can see it as unisex as well and it definitely suits colder seasons more. I wear it both day and night but it’s closer to being a nighttime perfume but it may depend on person. Even though I sprayed a bit at night, I could still feel the sweet creamy lingering smell in the morning so I can say it’s very long lasting. In conclusion, I believe this is a very beautiful perfume which balanced spiciness and sweetness perfectly. It’s very sensual, sophisticated and mysterious like some also said, signature scent worthy! I don’t agree with comments online saying it’s a scent for mature and older people, everyone can wear it but it can be a tad heavy for a teenager girl for example. Not blind buy safe since I can see why some people dislike it. I can’t wait to wear this more frequently! Xx

I actually smelled/ used OG, Rouge and Ultimate edition. I didn’t like OG at all never thought about buying it. Smelled Rogue and R. ultimate at the same time and loved the cherry note at Rogue but I was at airport and had to rush so it was a very brief moment for me. When I came back home I was thinking about that cherry note but couldn’t remember which one had it. Since bottles are nearly identical ( who thought that it was a good idea) so I decided to go to Sephora to smell them again before buying them and this time I had more time to think about and spend a day at least with the perfume samples on my skin and smell them more. In the end of the day I liked R. Ultimate more. I think Ultimate version is a more mature version of the rouge series. I don’t mean that it should be only worn by older people but this perfume is more well rounded, well thought and more luxurious compared to other l’interdit versions. Definitely more balanced and has a stronger foundation at the development of notes. The chemistry of the notes “makes sense” if you know what I mean. Nothing is unexpected while the notes are developing on your skin yet still very beautiful and comforting. I can confidently say that I have a lot of experience on Givency perfumes, (at least 15 years) and always loved Givency’s perfume dnas so I was very disappointed with L’interdit OG yet I can say that this one saved the day for me. It has the same Givency features you can find in golden era of Givency perfumes. Even if I never knew this perfume’s name or brand I would easily guess that it is a Givency perfume, so on that note I must congratulate the noses behind it. If you are like me, old school Givency perfume lover I am sure that you gonna love this version a lot! It is creamy soft, little bit sweet fuzzy floral with rich and mature and dark vibe.

To cut to the chase and for everyone who doesn't like reading long reviews: Yeah, this is just a gorgeous powerhouse of a fragrance. Now, for the longer review. I'll always be baffled by just how fruity tuberose can smell (like gummy bears). I also will always be baffled at how bottle design can impact scent perception, or at least that's what I think is going on for me in my brain here, because in the very opening... I am briefly smelling a cherry note. I KNOW it is not there, but I still smell it. It quickly, however, gives way to the gorgeously intoxicating warm white floral bouquet we know from the original, but with a more warm and deep powdery undertone thanks to the cacao pod. I love just how three-dimensional this fragrance is. From a distance people will perceive those wonderful sweet white florals, and when you step closer they'll pick up that which envelopes you throughout wear, a wonderful warm cozy base. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Despite this being more of a winter/fall kind of fragrance it is still delicious in a hot climate as well. I live in India, it's currently over 30 degrees Celsius where I stay (or in the 90s for Americans) and it still is BEAUTIFUL as a rich intoxicating evening fragrance. Barely 5 minutes out of the house my husband commented how very nice I'm smelling. Wonderful scent bubble. And despite walking around in the heat and sweating profusely for 2hrs, even more than 12hrs later on the next day the scent is still clearly there on my skin. Toned down of course, but I can still clearly smell Tuberose and powdered cacao. Amazing both in performance and scent profile. Strongly recommended if you like a strong but ultra well-rounded fragrance. I hope I'll eventually call a bottle my own too.

There's something unique about this that I just love. I'm usually not a fan of feminine white floral scents but this one hits the spot for me. I get the bubblegum, cocoa, and some fruitiness but it still somehow smells mature and older, but in a classy cougar way that at 23 I don't mind. My mum likes this one on me and she wears chanel no 5. My partner HATES it though, I think due to the heavy tuberose. Sigh. I spray this before university each morning and save something more special for nights and going out. This is definitely a winter scent, and it's STRONG. You don't need a lot and it sticks around but that's how I like it. While I don't agree with the review below, I think they're entitled to their opinion. There are "old fashioned" and animalic notes in this. I think that person has something against older people wearing youthful scents. If you want to wear Fantasy at 82 then go for it, or you can wear this, which is far more complex and I haven't smelled many like it. I'm 23 and I love to smell it but I don't think it suits my personality or vibe. I still wear it, but in general settings that are professional or times where it's just me and I want comfort rather than projecting an image or to express myself. I would like to add that I find it is similar to My Way by Armani ! But this has more of a cherry coke dr pepper feel.

I knew nothing about the L'Interdit range when I stumbled upon this perfume at a large cosmetics store here in Tokyo back in February. The classy bright red bottle intruged me. For the first time in 10 years it was love at first sniff. The opening is like spicy cherry bubblegum? That gets sweeter with time. I don't really smell much cacao on my skin, but the tobacco smells kind of like incense in the background. Sweet but mysterious, and also different from fragrances that are popular here. I went to my local Givenchy counter and bought a 50ml bottle the next day. Excellent sillage and projection. Lasts all day. My collection has grown since, but I always come back to this one. It might be a bit too much in hot humid summer unfortunately, but it can be worn both day and night. I recently bought the OG Rouge rollerball for nights out and freshening up after concerts, and while I like that one too, Rouge Ultime is sweeter and more well blended. I've never gotten compliments on OG Rouge but I've gotten countless compliments on Rouge Ultime. I may have found my signature scent. I hope Givenchy never discontinues this. I'm debating getting the Intense flanker as well.

This is brutal, BRUTAL, it's like L'interdit Rouge edp but with an extra sweetness that for a gourmand lover makes it supreme, with this on the general vibe you give off is of a rich, elegant, hot, seductive woman, with a powerful dark femme sweet aura. The combination of white florals, tuberose and soft spice is beautifully crafted, not granny-like at all, it's elegant and sweet, and the cocoa note is GOLD fr, it is profound yet not clogging (to me at least) and misterious (I think thanks to the woody/tobacco/vetiver note) and the lil animalic note is perfect to describe it because it does in fact make me feral lol. Now, personally, what I imagine when I wear this (as a goth, okay?) is me dressed like a vampire princess walking through a cemetery whose graves are decorated with lots of bouquets of flowers that smell delicious while I eat a bombon, weird, but it's how I see it (might have something to do with the fact that the first time I wore it out I went to a cemetery and I attached the memory to it). Btw lasts a lot, I smell it on my clothes even after many hours. One of my signature scents without a single doubt. Vamp princess!!

I'm obsessed with this fragrance, I always liked the original L'Interdit Rouge but never enough to really want to buy it, but this one I will have to buy. To my nose, it smells really sexy but not really in a cougar way like some have said, just like a sexy mysterious woman sitting at the bar by herself. I keep going back to the store and spraying it all over myself and on tester cards to keep in my bag, and it really does last for ages. I wouldn't say it fills up a room but I have definitely received compliments and has a much stronger sillage than og rouge. This sounds strange, but I've been looking for a scent that smells a little bit like the old lipstick that you found at the bottom of your mum's bag, and this one gives me that nostalgic feeling of playing with mum's makeup and perfumes but in the best way, not because it smells too mature and old ladyish but it just has a beautiful cosmetic sort of smell. I would definitely wear this more at night for going out and during autumn/winter. I can understand this fragrance might be too sweet and strong for some, but for me it is perfect <3

I looove this perfume. I generally love the L’interdit line. I have the original edp, the intense, rouge and lately bought this gem. My absolute favorite is the original edp, then this one, and lastly the intense. I don’t like the original Rouge because it’s way too gingery for my liking. This one, however, is a mix between a lovely opening and the heavenly dry down of Rouge edp. It is like they knew I didnt like the Rouge for the ginger bomb opening, so they removed it lol. I get a mix between cocoa pods and cherries. This is the epitome of feminine energy. In terms of longevity, I feel like I have to reapply, but also it turns out I go nose blind with this one so fast. I stop smelling it yet will get compliments. If you want to get into the L’interdit line, I think this one would be the safest start. I also think it will be slightly cloying in summer heat, but it shines through cold weather immensely. The original edp imo is more versatile and signature scent worthy, but this one is so beautiful also and like no other.

This is my fall signature fragrance. I absolutely love how warm and spicy it is: the white floral notes that are strong in the opening and linger until the complete dry down make it smell very sexy, but yet refined. I enjoy the sweetness added by the cocoa pod and the depth that is brought by vetiver and a touch of tobacco. I enjoy wearing it as a day-to-day perfume as well as night time/special occasion perfume - it is perfect in its flexibility! To me it is a perfume that can be a great fit for women from 20yo - 40yo. I can see older women wearing it as well, however for me 'Rouge Ultime' is more on the younger side, when just 'Rouge' would be more beautiful on women 40yo - xxx. As it is a personal vision of the notes, don't feel like it won't suit you. Wear what makes you feel your best self no matter what people say :) It lasts a long time on my skin - up to 5 hours, but I wish that sillage was stronger. I give it a 10/10 as it is an absolute favorite for the cold seasons and makes me feel like the main character.

Wow, this is the sweetest of the bunch! I've been waiting a while to get this one. I have Rouge EDP, Absolut, and the OG, and although I was worried they would all smell the same, they definitely don't. I'd previously said the OG L'interdit would be the most approachable of the bunch; it's very floral-forward compared to Ultime. I'm changing my mind though, but only because I'm a sucker for sweet scents, this one opens up in a similar vein to the rest but then turns into this lovely, almost cherry or bubblegum-type scent. I'm aware these notes aren't in the chart there but that's what it comes off as on my skin. Very approachable and very long-lasting, I cannot pick a favourite out of the bunch, but I'm so glad I picked this up! Suitable for the cold weather, I think it might be a bit much in the summer months. You only need 1 or 2 sprays so even the 35ml would last a long time, it can become headache inducing so be warned.

THIS was love at first sniff! What a masterpiece perfume! Usually, when I smell expensive fragrances I'm more like ''That's good but not something I would spend 100 euros.'' But this perfume is so sexy and special that I was thinking about it for many days until I bought the 35ml bottle. It's similar to the other l'interdit bottles but it's definitely different and in my opinion the best version of this collection. In my skin, I can detect jasmine, tuberose, and a mix of spice and yummy smells. I can imagine a sexy yet classy pretty woman wearing this on her night out with friends or partner/partners. It's wearable for the daytime as well but not for the workplace as it might be perceived as too strong or even annoying for some. I don't recommend it as a blind buy though because it's not a perfume for everyone. If you like white floral and gourmand, sweet, spicy scents, this is the perfect one for you!

wow, now that's what I'm talking about! I didn't like any release of the l'interdit range, except for the EDT (And not enough to buy it either). This, on the other hand, blew my mind. I love that they didn't add citrus or ginger to the opening, this is a perfectly blended white floral bomb. She's younger, sweeter, creamier and less loud than her sisters. But don't let this fool you, she's just as sexy, bold and hyper femenine. She's a girlboss too, just a different interpretation of it. I personally smell the cacao touch but I don't detect tobacco, that's a win too. Seriously, I can't explain you how sexy and alluring this scent is. Beautiful choice for date scents or whenever you want to feel like that B. Be light on the application though, she's heavy and get cloying easily. I will be buying a bottle for suuuure.

Sexy, delicios, rich, sweet floral, the skin smells amazing. Less insensively rouge than the original rouge and just a tiny bit less juicy. The cacao note is what i needed for rhe original rouge (which i always layer with a cacao based nina ricci red apple). This delivers it. Smells like a perfume,dense and rich - not like a dessert (i love gourmands, don't get me wrong) not like clean skin or laundry (which i also.love) but like a perfume. Like a person with strong personality. Mature and confident. Bold and effortlessly put together. Like the ultimate lady. This juice is ultimate indeed. It's been months since i was last convinced i want to take home a perfume. I didn't expect to find this love in a designer scent. But I did and I want it. I'm so happy i will bring home a new baby soon.

A staple signature for me, perfect for cold weather but fairs well in the summer as it's not too decadently sweet or even bright as a more floral parfum. The first few sprays give off a warm spicy cacao shell, it gives sexy haunted cabin type vibe- mysterious girl with a teasing personality, she sits and observes and might poke fun at you every now and then, but she’s not brash. Dries down into a warm floral, with the lightest hint of vanilla. The scent for me got deeper and deeper as the day progressed, and what stayed was the dark cacao pod with tobacco— the floral not so much. And as someone who’s not as accustomed to white forals, it’s not an issue for me. Projection lasts a little more than 5+ hours, and after a more busy day it wouldn't last. Overall warm spice and sultry scent.

I was spritzed with this by the sales assistant in duty free whilst dashing through the airport today. When I finally arrived at the gate ten minutes later, hot and bothered, delicious wafts of spicy, syrupy sweetness were rising in clouds around me. I first thought it was my own perfume, a dupe of LDBS (don't judge) , but by the end of the day I realised it was my spritzed arm. I agree with a previous poster that this has a very similar essence to LDBS. The longevity is excellent, seven hours later and that single spray is still going strong on my forearm. It's a heady, rich syrup of tuberose, orange blossom and cacao. A single spritz has taken me from obliviousness to its existence, to considering buying a bottle in one day. Intriguing.

I’ve had this for a year now. I accidentally bought this thinking it’s the og rouge, but there’s hardly and difference. Honestly, I’m not a fan of florals, I’m mostly a gourmand and fruity lover. I especially don’t like tuberose or orange blossom, and I lowkey hate neroli. That being said, this has me coming back. I love it! Tuberose in this one is very bubblegum-y. It’s also a little spicy which adds depth. Idk why but this fragrance is the exception for me. Not because I haven’t tried enough floral fragrances, believe me, I did. I haven’t come across a white floral fragrance as well blended and as good as this, including niche fragrances. Honestly I don’t understand how people can hate this perfume, it’s really pleasant.

Rouge Ultime has found its way onto my shelf, and I'll see to it that it always has a place there. I love this perfume. At the top, there are delectable white flowers. I almost get a touch of ginger. It's not sharp or pungent, but more like a hint of ginger beer. A velvety cacao comes in, and I want to say there's a grown-up bubblegum scent in there too. The overall sweetness of this perfume is very lovely - somehow it steers clear of being a gourmand completely. Dried down is a delightful air of tobacco, and getting this to remain so feminine is a feat! Rouge Ultime is a warm, sexy, spicy, sweet smell with astonishing white florals. It lasts long, projects well, and I've had lots of compliments.

This is exquisite. The first time I tested it, I sprayed it on myself in a department store and went on with my day, forgetting about it. And throughout the entire day I kept smelling this WONDERFUL SMELL and thinking it was people around me in the metro/streets. I kept thinking: MY GOD this person in front of me smells INCREDIBLE. And then later I realized it was ME! ha! Seriously, this is dark and seductive and sweet and clean. Elegant. I know it's not in the notes but I smell a bit of plum/fig in this. It's just incredible, lasts 8+ hours, and projects a LOT. I never wear more than 2 sprays of this, otherwise it's just too overbearing. My new signature scent, I'm OBSESSED.

The regular L’Interdit Rouge is spicy, sexy, and unpredictable, where this one is a bit more smooth, velvety, and sweet. Ultime is still sexy imo, but the cacao pod really rounds out the edges and makes it feel more reserved. I don’t really get the bubblegum/grape soda comparisons that many people make with the L’Interdit line, but this is 100% my favorite designer perfumer line to exist at the moment. Every perfume I’ve tried from this collection has AMAZING lasting power and sillage. I can put 2 sprays of any L’Interdit perfume on and still receive compliments at the end of the day, and the Intense version has stuck on the collar of a coat for over 2 weeks.

Rouge Ultime is pure seduction in a bottle! ❤️🔥 It’s a dark, seductive fragrance but fresh and clean at the same time. The orange blossom and jasmine opening feels floral yet sensual—never like a typical overpowering white floral. I usually don’t enjoy jasmine or tuberose since they can be headache-inducing, but here they’re creamy, smooth, and beautifully blended. As it dries down, a powdery cocoa warmth adds a velvety, addictive sweetness. Perfect for special evenings. I also have the OG roll-on which I love!!! But thats fresher and suitable for daytime and more versatile. Rouge ultime is my new favourite and definitely in my top 5 perfumes❤️❤️

It feels like a date night with a handsome gentleman who’s come to pick you up, your fragrance mingling with his as you step into his luxury car. It’s the sight of glittering, sexy skyscrapers against the night sky, the pulse of a modern metropolis. It’s dinner at the Mandarin Oriental, the quiet hum of luxury as you walk through the opulent lobby. This is you settling into peak femininity in your late 30s, with a whole lot of class. This is pure, unadulterated elegance. It's smells just like the OG with powdery opulence turned up just a notch. I do have a preference still for the OG and the black one, but i do love this too, 4.5/5

I've tried each and every one from this range and this is the only one for me, this is the one that drives me crazy. Strangely, it's actually quite similar to CLINIQUE AROMATICS BLACK CHERRY. That was (I believe) a limited edition and it's pretty hard to come by, I'm lucky to own it, but I prefer this because it's a bit spicier - I smell ginger, like that in POISON GIRL UNEXPECTED - more vibrant and fresh feeling, woodier, too, less potent. Whereas, to me the Black Cherry scent smells more gourmand, like fresh baked cherry pie. Certainly two sides of the same coin. This is my L'interdit. My own. This is very precious to me. 🤗🖤🍒

Ultime Rouge smells sooo wonderful, like a mature version of juicy fruit chewing gum. I love the beginning sooo much, its very long lasting, but it ends with a very sweet, almost sickly sweet vanilla scent. Lingers on clothes for days! Because of this I’d proberbly wear it more in the evening, than to work. I’m very happy to have this in my collection, I have the big bottle, but a smaller might have been sufficient. It is a limited edition, so dont snooze on this one! Edit - just a month later and I guess it had to macerate a bit. Sprayed it 5 times today, lasted and stayed the whole day, didn’t turn sickly sweet. Hooray! 🥳

Very similar to the original L'Interdit Rouge, yet has such an alluring character of its own. And I'm afraid to tell this (to myself and my wallet) that I want both in my collection. This one is very voluptuous, very creamy, and feminine. I must say that I find the original more interesting and charismatic with its spiciness and edginess. In Rouge Ultime, those edges are smoothed and it feels like a luscious, red velvet. Both are ultimate femme fatale perfumes. However, if you want to choose between the two, opt for the original Rouge for its spicy notes and Ultime for its creamy, sweet tuberoses.

My absolute new favourite perfume. The initial spray gives off a rather sweet, juicy, grape-like scent, reminiscent of grape juice or grape bubblegum. As it slowly dries down on my skin, a warm and spicy scent develops along with an element of creaminess from the vanilla and the cocoa. I think this would be a great scent for a warm, cozy, evening with hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. The longevity and silage is amazing on me, I can absolutely smell it on me throughout the day. Overall, this perfume will definitely be in my rotation and I predict I'll have to get a new bottle soon.

Absolutely stunning - a great pick for a date night or autumn/winter. It's warm and light at the same time. The tobacco and cacao really do give you everything you like about male fragrances but for the woman. Super sultry and beautiful. The original L'interdit is one I wear all year round and lasts forever on me, so when I smelt this on a Givenchy counter and got told the notes, I was in love instantly, so much so that I bought it the same week! Whenever I want to go out in evenings during autumn or winter, I usually choose this. 10/10.

Devastatingly beautiful! ❤️ Similar to Givenchy L’Interdit Rouge but better, more feminine: a spicy cherry (not listed, but there’s definitely a black/sour cherry or tonka accord in there) on a sweet, minty & balsamic base. Unlike L’Interdit Rouge, here the drydown doesn’t turn into that woody incense-stick smell that feels more like a room fragrance. Rouge Ultime stays sweet, spicy and slightly minty forever. It reminds me of Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle by Dior (sadly discontinued), which to me is the sexiest Poison ever.

Introducing the original sexy beast. The trio did it again. I found her better than the intense version and if l'interdit og edp ( tangy juiciness) is for spring and summer she (sweet cacao) is for the latter months. One of the best tuberose fragrances long overdue since fracas ( 1948) and carnal flower. I love the og edp equally. The cacao makes it slightly dirty in a sweet flirtatious and provocative way. Wear it with anything anywhere but you gotcha be in the mood. The right mood and you will rock it.

i sprayed it on my hand during sephora and i fell in love with it the moment i sniffed it. there’s something so mesmerizing about the opening and it is almost tantalisingly fruity grape-y sweet but it gradually starts to smell fresh and floral. i walked around to smell other perfumes but found myself sniffing it back on my hand, and i am hooked— decided to spray it on my neck and the whole day i smelled amazing and i can’t get enough of it. i’ll be purchasing the bottle soon.

The opening on this is gorgeous. Quickly settles, though. I can smell strong similarities with L'Interdit. But this is my preferred version. It's super yummy, edible, that cacao.... It's an improvement on the first release for me, for sure. Would love to own this one. I've got an 80ml original tester formula from the release of L'Interdit edp and would gladly swap (uk) for this version if anybody is interested? 😭🫣 Why the nasty ass blue star balloon here?

This smells like a Russian baddie who has been chain smoking, she's living in a grim, grey-skied, cold Dracula village in Eastern Europe, she wears 5 inch stiletto heels on uneven cobblestone paths, red lipstick , red almond nails. She's bold, silent and aloof with jet black hair and translucent icy blue eyes like a Siberian wolf . She's feminine but there's absolutely no vulnerability here, she's seen the depths of life but she's armoured by her beauty.

This is my favorite of the Linterdit line. I have this one the original Rouge, the original linterdit and intense. Out of all of them this is my favorite! It smells like it has cherries but it doesn’t. It’s sweet, sophisticated, sexy, I don’t get “mature cougar vibes” as stated. This is a strong, sexy, sophisticated, mysterious feminine scent. It smells kind of fruity, creamy, chocolate, sweet. She’s a devil in a tight dress. Lots of compliments! Love

I’m a little confused as I didnt sense any of the notes listed, and it smells more like the other version. However I’m 100% sure I sampled Ultime since I took a photo of the bottle to remember as I loved it so much. Anyway to me this was very spicy and warm, but delivers less of a kick than other perfumes of that family. It’s reminiscent of a strong cup of masala chai, and gets creamier on the wear down. Cozy, but at the same time confident.

This is the best l’interdit collection they came up with hands down, it’s a little syrupy at the opening but give it a few seconds before that cacao note hits you!!! This is soooo good and yummy 🤤 very memorable beautiful perfume good staying power and very luxurious in a sense. Very well put. Sexy and a tad bit masculine. A bit on the heavier side don’t let the floral notes fool you. It’s more on the gourmand-y side. Great for winter ❄️

What a beautiful fragrance! It ́s not as strong as Rouge (also in terms of sillage) , it's creamy,not spicy, on my skin i get this gentle soft cacao mixed with the neroli and the orange blossom, and the tobacco comes into play but in a very very subtle way. Some turned heads, which is telling about the projection it has, although Rouge is more prominent. I'm enchanted! Had to buy. Just wished it lasted longer, at least on my skin.

This was a love at first sniff! I am not a big fan of rouge since I find it too spicy and kinda medicinal so I never wanted to try this until sales assistant insisted me to try. This is right up to my alley. I feel cherry, cacao and maybe something like cinnamon? in this. It has an amazing balance between sweet and woody. The best in the range imo. I find it deep and sexy, great for date nights. Gifted myself for my 30th bday :)

It is completely different on the tester stripe than on my skin and I am loving this! On paper I get that sweet bubblegum tuberose that I don't really like in general. Luckily I was brave enough to try it on my skin. And my gosh... Dark chocolate bonbons with cherry filling, that is all I can smell. I don't know what kind of dark magic she is playing on me but I am mesmerised. This will turn into a full bottle no question.

This a very beautiful fragrance, very sophisticated white floral, a masterpiece I dare say. To me it smells like white flowers and grapes with syrup, or grape and dark cherry juice, a little sweet and a little spicy, so unique. I can't stop smelling myself, it's so addictive. I only tried the original L'interdit which I find calming and comforting because of the pear accord. But this one is another level, I am in love.

Smells like cream soda and honeysuckle! Fucking gorgeous!! Hubby and I kept getting wafts of it on our walk and that was one spray on each wrist! Unfortunately I though my sample was of Rouge so I ordered that one. Then I realized the testers got switched at the store. I’m glad I only got a 10 Ml of Rouge- that one is also beautiful but very close to the EDP and EDT but I’ve fallen in love with Rouge ULTIME!

I smelt this last year when I was in Paris and I have been thinking about it ever since. I bought it last week and OMG it is AMAZING. It is very sweet in the opening but the dry down is stunning, it is slightly woody/sweet and it’s so warm. I feel like this is the perfect autumn fragrance, I am yet to try the rouge original but I fear that one may be too spicey for me This one is very demure and cutesy

I don't really understand people calling it a generic smell because I never smelled anything like this. It smells both fresh and sexy at the same time which is a quality very hard to find. It has been 6 months since I got this and I still go and sniff the bottle almost everyday. I find it addictive and cool. I also do not think it is an old lady perfume at all, I think it is ageless.

This is the only acceptable version of l'Interdit for me. It does have familiar DNA with original Rouge that I hate, but surprisingly it feels a lot softer, gentler, younger and more wearable. Objectively, compared to Rouge, this one is sweeter in the opening and less spicy in the dry down. It does make me feel pretty and I'd wear it on a special occasion with great pleasure.

I have to remember to stop making snap judgements. In life. In perfume. At first spray, I disliked it. It smelled chemically. Sharp. There's such a thing as a dry-down, sis! Once it does, that tobacco note settles in nicely. What a classy fragrance. It's like OG, but you're in a humidor. The tobacco note is so strong to my nose, but I'm diggin' it!

This is really good but initially I find the ambrox a bit strong but not overly so and the projection is lovely throughout. The muskiness comes forward a bit more in dry-down, there's also cashmeran. The vetiver and cacao go well with the sweet vanilla and rich, white florals. Moderate-strong projection and moderate-strong longevity.

LOVE this perfume! Warm, spicy, sexy & elegant. Smells like a grown up grape-cherry bubblegum tuberose, lightly dusted with cinnamon-patchouli, surrounded by a cedar-like (maybe the from vetiver?), dark cocoa. Has a well-rounded, almost-thick creaminess, and is perfectly blended. Unique, rich, and enveloping. I adore it!

The first thing I have ever smelled in it was the cacao for some reason. I was pretty much shocked honestly since I already knew the notes from here and I didn't expect to detect it this easily. It made the perfume even more interesting in my eyes. It's one of my favourite ever perfume. Gives a lot of "Man-Eater" vibes.

gorgeous neroli and tuberose combine with the cocoa to create an almost raisin/fig-like scent. it feels warm, slightly spicy and very sweet, though not cloying to me. a darker, sexier version of the original. i love evening and cold weather scents. i will probably keep wearing this all year around as always. i love it!

I am not usually a floral fragrances fan, but this is not very floral. The cacao notes are really proeminent. I feel like the red bottle is perfect for this smell. It smells intense, sexy and strong. I also had in the past the black bottle which i loved, but this one smells more playful!

I love this and the Rouge. This is softer and the cacao is prominent where the blood orange is prominent in the Rouge. I love them both but the regular Rouge is more potent and lasting, so it has the edge over this one for me. I prefer the colour and look of this bottle more though.

Surprisingly I get more of a cherry/fig note that’s perfectly blended with the cacao. The white florals soften it out and make it quite delectable. I can see this layered with Narciso poudree to create an even softer & powdery scent, but it’s a perfect date night scent on its own.
