I tested it a couple of hours ago and it has very good fixation on skin and projection. It delivers what it says. As for the aroma, I perceive it as somewhat unisex. Very aromatic in the opening, like when you smell plants like rosemary or so. The tobacco is very soft, doesn’t stand out particularly, and I don’t find the rum. The neroli are the typical ones from this line. I don’t know if I’ll buy it. I still like the Rouge and the Intense more.
A fresher opening, apparently sweeter and more aromatic than its brother Intense, and certainly not as effervescent or sparkling, but rather ‘calmer’ (hello, dear lavender) and less voluptuous. Gradually, a dry warmth emerges where I highlight that blend of vetiver, tobacco, and rum, being this note the one that, in my opinion, gives it the depth that invites us to smell the wrist again. I think when the heat goes away will be when I truly appreciate it more. These are just first impressions from an atomisation of a sample I just received, but in principle it differs enough from L’Intense to warrant a place in your L’Interdit collection. My IG on perfumes: @chabelino5
I didn’t like it at all 😕 and I can’t find any resemblance to any L’Interdit; I don’t know, it just doesn’t feel in tune with the others. The first one from the black bottle seems a thousand times better, and watch out because they say they’re going to discontinue it and replace it with this, so rush to buy spares 🥲 because it’s going away! Edit: after hours of testing it on skin, it does resemble the L’Interdit line, as that sharp masculine note from the beginning that obscures everything disappears (though I still prefer the previous ones, softer and sweeter for longer).
It smells very roughly of laundry detergent to my taste.
I just tested it a few hours ago and the truth is, for now, I’m not going to buy it. I liked it. But I already have the L’Interdit, the L’Interdit Rouge, and the L’Interdit Rouge Ultime… and it’s very similar, the same DNA; I don’t think anyone around would perceive the difference. In case I ever run out of what I have, I think I’d prefer to restock the L’Interdit Rouge. Also, it comes out very intense but drops significantly after a few hours. If you don’t own any Interdit right now, you could try it; right now they are among my favourite perfumes, especially for autumn/winter!!!
I just tested it in the perfumery; in my other hand, I wore the Rouge and prefer the Rouge as it’s sweeter. I see the Absolu could be perfectly unisex; it’s not a bad perfume, but what I didn’t like is that without even checking the notes, I can’t perceive the tobacco note that has stuck to my hand despite washing it. As a non-smoker, that touch is not to my liking. I own the normal L’Interdit and if I had to choose one, it would be the Rouge.
I’ve tried it several times and still can’t wear it, what a pity. The scent is powerful, enveloping, very much of the ‘here I am’ type, with magnificent longevity and sillage. The ‘issue’—and this is purely personal taste—is that the neroli/white flower note becomes so prominent and sharp that my nose can’t handle it 🙁 Just for guidance, it doesn’t resemble the original L’Interdit.
I tried the Rouge version and there’s a note that doesn’t suit me (I think it’s the ginger), but this new version has delighted me. It is certainly the most unisex of them all, but I think it’s a fantastic fragrance for cold weather and its sillage is considerable. It’s not the mythical ‘pretty girl’ perfume, but rather one that inspires a strong, bold woman, ‘here I am’. I’ll be using it a lot in winter or for night outings.
It’s unisex, even though it’s marketed as a women’s fragrance; I’ve already considered buying it 😅. It’s dark, heavy, and mysterious. I like it.
What a beautiful fragrance, my goodness. Givenchy has done it again. I haven’t given many chances to the Rouge flankers, but I did try the Intense, and I’d say this is the older, rockier sister. The Intense has presence but is more feminine and avoindyl. This one has all the rebellion; it’s unisex, dark, and mysterious. Ideal when you want to escape the florals and the sweetness. Potent and heavy. It makes me happy, what can I say?
This morning my long-awaited blind purchase arrived. It was bold to go blind because NO L’INTERDIT HAD EVER PLEASED ME. I tried every flanker and there was no case, but luckily with this the curse was broken. It has the L’Interdit DNA but is much better balanced. The narcissos aren’t so shrill and piercing (something I can’t tolerate in the others). The cardamom gives creaminess and softness so the opening isn’t a slap in the face. The lavender is very well balanced and doesn’t predominate. In the heart is the famous trident of white flowers where the narcisso takes the lead, leaving a sweet dry-down from the tobacco and rum. I consider it unisex for fresh days or nights. Very happy with this new Givenchy launch ♥.
I didn’t like it at all, unfortunately. I’m captivated by unisex perfumes, but this simply seemed very heavy and more of a man, like a men’s perfume, but I wouldn’t like a man to wear it either. It smells very much of narcisso, rum and patchouli. I didn’t smell tobacco on my skin. It’s very long-lasting; the scent impregnates easily and leaves a heavy, dense trail. 2/10.
I’ve just tried this fragrance; it’s an absolute, plain and simple. It carries white flowers; I don’t say no, but the kind found in mikados, which aren’t natural. What can be unisex? Yes, because perfumes never had a gender until marketing got involved. It opens sharp and alcoholic, with luminous and floral notes (not natural). The light fades and the ever-loved and hated essence of a fruitchouli appears: the darkness of an imaginary lipstick over a bed of lavender (not natural, but Kneipp bath gel, the good night of Kneipp, oh dear). In the background a vanilla/tobacco sweetness with timid patchouli. Sincerely, I don’t see it well made; I don’t see personality, even if it wants to attract attention. It’s a shout in a demonstration, a tear in the sea. In my opinion, for something unisex, transgressive and better priced: JOOP! Homme, which comes these ways but with thirty-five years of advance.
What did I expect from L’Interdit Absolu? Something I’d like, since I consider myself a fan of the line. Rouge is in my top 5 of loved perfumes; I couldn’t live without it. Its spicy part is my favourite. Of the Intense, what I liked most was the pepper and sesame seeds; they gave it a unique character and I don’t know when they deemed it necessary to discontinue it. In this new Absolu, lavender-cardamomo stands out at the start, then dries with that characteristic narcisso combination of the line (though to my nose, which is more reduced than others), accompanied by the sweet smoky part of the tobacco and rum with a background of patchouli and vetiver. With all this, the unisex vibe is understandable. I see it as totally unisex, more winter/autumnal and even nocturnal. Its performance is very good on my skin, similar to the rest of the line. In summary: I did like it, but I understand the mixed opinions. It moves further away from L’Interdit than the rest, which I don’t see as negative, but it results in being somewhat generic, less special, and I don’t think it will replace the Intense. Moreover, for women not used to unisex scents, it may seem masculine. That said, it smells very good; it’s the type of scent I like for this season, the performance is outstanding and I wouldn’t mind if it was a gift. Now, as there is no Rouge, none.
I tried all the L’Interdit flankers, but this is the most beautiful and captivating for me. You immediately feel the lavender, the spices, the cardamom… a delight. What hurt me is that it lasted very little on the skin (about two hours and it had already disappeared) and honestly it costs a lot of money to last so little. Anyway, if I find it on promotion, maybe I’ll buy it. Its little siblings (Rouge and Rouge ultime) have brutal longevity, but both have something that doesn’t fully convince me. In any case, not everything can be in this life.
Very elegant, sensual and above all sophisticated. Obviously it’s not for blind buying, but what beauty. If you ask me, I tried the classic L’Interdit and the Rouge, but allow me to tell you that this is the winner. If you’re one of those who likes light, citrus or fruity fragrances, this isn’t the place. Cardamom, tobacco and neroli is what my nose perceives. Highly recommended for the night, any night. Next purchase guaranteed.
A terribly beautiful perfume. The balance of light and dark notes is magnificent, although the performance on my skin isn’t dazzling. It’s baroque but classy. I resisted trying it; I’m the type who likes heavy, woody, patchouli and floral scents, but the black bottle caught my attention and I needed something to break the current banality. At first I smell neroli and lavender well. Then it acquires a dark spicy touch. As it develops, the tobacco becomes evident, giving it a naughty and sexy side, like a date with a woman in a leather jacket, boots, red lips and stormy hair. A double espresso and a cigarette complete its calling card. For me, it’s unisex in the best sense, with bitterness, dark tobacco spices and lots of patchouli. Simply cosy, like the pleasure of a wool coat and scarf in winter. It lasts a long time on clothes, unfortunately less on skin, which holds me back from a possible future purchase. Worth trying.
Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good day. Those who read my other reviews will know I’m a fan of the whole L’Interdit line. About this perfume: I liked it, though my favourite remains Rouge. I have something particular: I feel that, while its ‘flanker’ character is noticeable, it’s the most different, and I think they did a good job making it a link between Rouge and the rest. At first on my skin I sense something fruity, like grape, same as with the EDP Intense, but here it gives the sensation of grape fizzy drink, whereas in the Absolu it’s ripe grape releasing nectar. This lasts seconds and then I notice smoky tobacco fusing with spiced cardamom. Then it relaxes to give prominence to white flowers, highlighting sweet jasmine. Moving forward, the floral fades and dry, powdery, slightly sweetened tobacco emerges. For me, it has a sexy and mysterious character, ideal for night dates in autumn. Regarding projection and longevity, I see a lack: I expected something more robust, but on my skin it’s timid and lasts no more than 5 hours, very close to the skin. In short, it’s pleasant, sensual, dark and serious. Sending a hug from Argentina.
First time buying this brand; I was torn between Rouge and this one, finding it hard to decide. Then I remembered my feeling when trying it at launch: I couldn’t stop smelling my arm, went home and was obsessed, but then left it in the past. A few weeks ago I tested both on each arm; my husband loved Rouge, but I had doubts (I would have taken both and didn’t take either). My nose doesn’t detect ingredients; I don’t know what a narcisso smells like, but I know when something pleases or bores me. Finally, yesterday I went to see the new Zadig one, the winged bottle, and when I got home and was about to buy it, the Absolu came to mind and I followed my instinct. Waiting for it to arrive.
What a marvel! I think it’s super unisex and I absolutely love it; I wear it from time to time. On a woman, it’s surely the scent I like the most. I don’t usually appreciate many nuances in feminine perfumes, but this one is outstanding. It’s powerful, elegant, refined, and mysterious. It achieves the ‘femme fatale’ vibe incredibly well. The longevity is a 10, the projection an 8. I love it.
Much more discreet than the older brother L’Interdit, and yet it’s the Absolu. With so few notes, you’d imagine the neroli explodes as soon as you spray it, but it doesn’t. Good thing there’s cardamomo, rum, tobacco, and vetiver to tone it down. What about the lavender? Fine, thanks. I’m just starting to try it, so these are first impressions. I agree it’s unisex. It’s not one of my favourites. A decant arrived as a gift for a purchase. Nevertheless, seeing its notes has surprised me, although I wouldn’t buy it.
Beautiful. Unisex. Woody. Elegant. I love it.
L’Interdit Absolu is a more intense and mature version of the original, but with an unexpected twist. It smells as if they fused that floral character with the warm, spicy, and ambered warmth of Dolce & Gabbana’s The One for Men. The result is a denser, enveloping perfume with much more personality. Instead of the typically feminine focus of the classic, Absolu moves to a more unisex terrain, even with an evident masculine touch. It has a floral opening with jasmine and neroli, but dark notes like patchouli, thick vanilla, and a woody base reminiscent of The One’s seductive style appear very soon. It’s not fresh or light; it’s warm, sweet in just the right measure, with a certain tobacco or resin sensation that gives it character. The combination of notes is sublime. It might be a future purchase as both The One and L’Interdit are my favourites. Perfume acquired on 27/10/2025. Excellent purchase… A true gem of perfumery. Completely underrated.
Too masculine, super intense. The rum and tobacco notes predominate; I barely sense the flowers. I can imagine it on a man, much less on a woman.
Its opening was incredible, almost unique. In my case, I sensed notes of grape, even though it’s not declared. I sprayed it on my skin and it became increasingly feminine. After an hour, it still projected very well and gradually stopped being so feminine to become more unisex. If you’re a man and want a different fragrance, try it and see if you can wear it. In my case, it’s a resounding yes. If you’re a woman, I highly recommend it.
AN ULTRA SEXY AND DELICIOUS UNISEX FRAGRANCE. I bought it as a birthday present for my mother; I smelled it in the perfumerie and it was a delight. My mother loved it, but something happened… On her skin, the longevity is VERY good, it lasts a long time and projects too much. After eight hours, it’s still detectable, which surprised me. On my skin, it doesn’t perform as well, and that hurt; my complaint is about the projection. I’m not sure if it will cause olfactory fatigue, but I feel it’s very intimate. ABOUT THE SCENT: A perfect unisex where lavender predominates, sweet, bringing me memories of the grape gum from Ultra Male (NOTE: they don’t resemble each other, I’m just saying it smells sweet). The neroli is noticeable, and if you don’t like this note, it’s not for you. After a few hours, it leaves a chocolatey (patchouli) sweet scent and moves towards the masculine side. The notes I feel most are: Sweet lavender, Neroli, and Patchouli. ABOUT LONGEVITY: On my mother, it lasts 10 hours with good projection, then stays in a bubble. On my skin, it lasts 8 hours, moderate projection then discreet. OCCASIONS: Casual, not formal or elegant, but not informal either. It stands out more at night and in cold weather. CONCLUSION: Scent 10/10, Longevity 10/10, Projection 10/10 (starts strong then envelops you). Occasions: Casual, cold weather. SHOULD I RECOMMEND IT? YES! It’s delicious and looks very attractive on a woman.
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful thing! It smells like sweet tobacco, but also grape, but with flowers… IT SMELLS LIKE A NICHES PERFUME. I just bought it and I can’t wait to wear it.
Of all the contemporary L’Interdits, this Absolu is my favourite, although I don’t absolutely love it as it doesn’t quite convince me and I wouldn’t pay the price, but since it was a gift 🥰, I’ll enjoy it. The fragrance starts subtly with lavender and cardamomo, then the rum and the white floral DNA of L’Interdit come through, combined with that weak point of patchouli this time with tobacco, giving it a sexy and mysterious touch. It’s warm, very sweet without being cloying. Ideal for autumn and winter. Unisex, leaning slightly feminine. Moderate-to-high longevity. Try it before buying.
If you’re a man looking for something different, this is the best option. It doesn’t smell very feminine; honestly, I can’t imagine a woman wearing this. The scent has a white floral base, a hint of grape that’s there even if it’s not listed, and a super soft sweet tobacco note at the bottom that gives it a dirty edge. It’s ultra distinctive and incredibly sexy with its exclusive aroma. Ideal for dates in autumn, dressed up, at night, or in winter. I love it 10/10 (I don’t own it yet, so I don’t know about the longevity).
A fragrance with an incredible evolution. It starts floral but after a few hours turns into sweet rum before finishing with tobacco.
It’s not a perfume exclusively for women. It’s an ultramega fragrance for all inhabitants of the world. It’s rich, versatile, happy, expensive but not too much. It lasts over 8 hours comfortably and projects just enough to not go unnoticed. It has white flowers but isn’t feminine. It has tobacco and rum, but isn’t masculine. It has cardamom, neroli and jasmine that place it in the unisex range, but it goes much further. It’s universally unisex, bisexual, trisexual, non-binary, asexual and a blender. It has everything and not everyone has it. Take advantage. Givenchy does it to the max once again.
The most universal perfume. It suits anyone. Delicious from start to finish.
It’s the type I like: exotic, original, mysterious, powerful. It doesn’t resemble anything currently in trend. I don’t find it as unisex as they indicate; I find it feminine, though that is very personal. Essential in my collection.
Sensual notes of orange blossom, woody, mysterious, intense and elegant.
Intense. My brother gifted it to me for my birthday because he had praised my mother’s perfume, L’Interdit Rouge. I’m not used to such heavy fragrances, but this is a definite yes. Heavy in just the right measure, it has body; I smell the alcoholic, smoky notes clearly, which is why I rated it unisex; it suits any gender perfectly, it symbiotises with the skin, it moulds. It’s not sweet, but it has a feminine point I can’t quite detect. A tiny bit for winter days to project without overwhelming, or plenty for night if you want to turn heads.
No point, I keep trying every L’Interdit variant, but they just aren’t for me. Givenchy left me after years of a total love affair.
I’ve been a fan of this line since the EDP relaunch in 2018; it was an instant click; I love those sticky, ambroxan nardos. I’d dare say this new L’Interdit Absolu is the best in the line (all the ones I own and have tried are great). Givenchy missed a huge marketing opportunity for unisex scents; if straight male influencers who wear the EDP Rouge try this, they’ll be blown away. It starts with ambroxan nardos, but here the sweet floral dose is extremely balanced by masculine commercial notes: tobacco takes the lead, almost sidelining the nardos. On my skin, it gains tremendous intensity with that spiced touch of cardamom, lavender, and a subtle, unlisted clove. In the dry-down, I sense vetiver, similar to how it was handled in Gentleman Society (call me crazy, but my nose trusts it). The nardos are present throughout, but not as intense. In short, a massive perfume with good performance and perfect androgynous character for these times where the line between masculine and feminine is blurred thanks to niche perfumery.
I’m fascinated by it. It smells spiced, like tobacco, definitely potent, but the lavender softens it and gives a relaxing touch. The nardos and white flowers step back to let the tobacco take centre stage. It feels elegant with a retro vibe; it transports me to a leather bar, fine crystal, noble woods, my late grandfather’s study from the 70s with golden ornaments, burnt orange velvet, and that dandy elegance, yet a woman in my 30s can wear it without issue. I feel a touch masculine, groovy but elegant, with 70s vibes. I’d wear it all year round and during the day; it stands out and I’m not bothered by strong fragrances.
Can there be a richer perfume? Impossible. It’s ultra-unisex, so don’t be afraid to wear this bomb as a man; you’ll receive countless compliments. Enveloping nardos that fascinate everyone. Heavy projection and an easy 10 to 12 hours on the skin. Givenchy quality at its best. Rating: 9.5/10.
First off, its opening is quite masculine. It’s a special perfume, but initially, the intensity wasn’t to my taste. The dry-down is rich, cosy, and enigmatic all at once, perfect for cold weather. For me, Rouge is the most seductive in the L’Interdit line; Ultimate with cacao doesn’t grab me as much, though it is different. L’Interdit Transparente is the most versatile, delicious, and all-rounder. All of them perform well with moderate sillage. A very special line from Givenchy.
