A decadent take on the Underground Flower, L’Interdit Intense wraps narcotic tuberose and luminous orange blossom in a mouthwatering roasted sesame accent, sparked by a touch of black pepper and immersed in a velvet cloud of Madagascar vanilla, patchouli, and vetiver. The result is creamy, shadowed, and irresistibly addictive, turning the line’s white floral signature into a night-ready seduction with couture polish.

Story and Positioning
L’Interdit Intense is the darker chapter of the L’Interdit saga, where the Underground Flower fades to black and gains a gourmand glow through roasted sesame and black vanilla. It suits evening wear, celebrations, and seasons that call for depth with elegance. Shoppers who enjoy plush tuberose with creamy vanilla often consider it alongside expressive modern florals like Armani My Way Intense or the sensual side of Good Girl, while retaining its own sesame-tinted identity.
Bottle and Design
A jet black cloak envelops the familiar L’Interdit bottle with a soft reflective sheen. The face remains calm with L’INTERDIT GIVENCHY printed in finely spaced letters. Around the neck a satin tie carries a petite 4G metal pendant, topped by a smoked transparent cap that removes with a smooth pull. The dense glass heel and gently rounded angles keep the form poised and substantial. The overall look feels refined and shadowy, perfectly suited to the Intense edition.
