EveningThematic Territory
Tuberose dragged through a dark vetiver-patchouli underbelly — the forbidden allure named after the original L'Interdit created for Audrey Hepburn, now reimagined with modern edge.
Era & Context
Modern
The 2018 L'Interdit reinvented Givenchy's 1957 Audrey Hepburn classic for a new era. Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo created a dark floral that captured the post-#MeToo moment of feminine empowerment through transgression rather than sweetness.
