L'Interdit Absolu

Givenchy represents the pinnacle of French sophistication and timeless elegance. Founded in 1952 by the visionary Count Hubert de Givenchy at just 24 years old, the maison revolutionized luxury fashion by creating the first haute couture ready-to-wear line. The legendary friendship between Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn gave birth to L'Interdit in 1957—a fragrance so personal that Hepburn initially forbade its commercial release, declaring 'je vous l'interdis.' This intimate connection established Givenchy's fragrance legacy, where each scent embodies the same refined audacity that defined the designer's groundbreaking approach to fashion. Under LVMH's stewardship since 1988, Givenchy continues to craft fragrances that celebrate the thrill of the forbidden and the power of understated luxury, making the impossible irresistible.
