Givenchy L'Interdit Elixir is a floral, sweet gourmand: black cherry's fruity gloss meets the creamy warmth of vanilla and rum absolute, and it leans towards evenings and the colder months.

What does L'Interdit Elixir smell like?

It opens with black cherry and bitter almond, a fruity sweetness with a slight bitterness. In the heart, tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine form the floral veil, while oak wood lays a woody frame beneath them. The base of vanilla, davana and rum absolute dries down creamy, spicy and thoroughly sweet.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring well behind. Evening and night-out wear lead, and office wear is rarely chosen. Most voters find it feminine, with a share calling it modern. Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Elixir and House of Thêom Midnight Cherry have a close profile.
