    I'll admit it. I bought the perfume because I heard that the old version was Audrey Hepburn's signature scent. But it really is kind of a "grandma" perfume. Smells very strong at first but fades...

    Class in a glass. They just don't make them like this anymore. Subtle, feminine, and alluring without smelling like candy or flowers or cookies or musk. Tiny bit of pepper, hints of fruit. Lasts...

    What a shame they changed it. Absolutely not anywhere near as nice as the original. Gone is the musky powder scent, fruity instead. They should have named it something else because L'interdit it...

    I have changed my old review completely since I had last week the chance to smell the original L'Interdit. This review is now about both formulations. The original L'Interdit is, I would say, the...

    this is a rosewater-woodsey scent......that turned rancid on me......it was too strong imho....one of the notes caught my senses and it was very unpleasant to me.....reminded me of this cheap...

    I got this as part of a Givenchy sample gift set back in Dec., and thought it was lovely, but way too soft - and I have the perfume! I would layer & layer it, and still - too soft, too watery. I...

    This is the new fragrance. I have never tried the older one, but will if I get the chance in order to compare. I really quite like the new scent. It's warm and spicy with a lingering rosewater...

    This is now the only perfume I wear during the fall, winter on on evenings. I've almost used up one bottle and will soon be onto my second. It's a more older scent...not like the trendy citrusy...

    Wine and strawberries. That was the first thing that came to my mind with this one. I love wine, so I liked it. Once it settled on my skin it got very smoky, which was so-so. But I think if this...

    Ughh. Overpowering. Gives my nose an itching feeling. Makes me sneeze. Something rotten inside the scent that I don't like. Smells more like dead mildew flowers, not fresh at all.

    An extremely feminine classic! This 're-release' of L'Interdit IS actually the real version worn by Audrey Hepburn. The so-called 'original' version is the one released to the public years ago.

    I will be succint: I am reviewing the re-formualted version. It is indeed a nice, fruity-floral blend without aldehydes. Does not have the faintest hint of powder to it. Does not strike me as...

    Roses, sweet plums, and the slightest hint of wood - lush and transparent all at the same time. If this only had some sort of staying power; I've tried layering it with the lotion, but without...

    I loved the way this perfume smelled in the bottle, kind of a fruity, spicy floral. On me, however, this smells very powdery and synthetic. It quickly turns nasty when I put it on, and now it...

    I absolutely adore Audrey Hepburn and first went on a quest to find her "Interdit" fragrance a few years ago. Smelled the Original and "Fleurs" (which I had confused for the original, based on a...

    This review is for the new release of "L'interdit". I love it! I tried the Original, and the powdery overtone was just too much on me. It reminded me of Chanel No. 5, which is awful on my skin. ...

    Despite apparently being less powdery than the original, I still thought this was too "old-ladyish" aldehydic. Description from Sephora: "This powdery floral is chic, sophisticated, romantic, and...

    I too am reviewing the original version of L'Interdit. This must rank as my favorite aldehydic fragrance of all time. It's powdery, yes, to me it's powdery as all get out. That was Hepburn's era. I...
