Editing L'Interdit (section)

== Creation ==
L'Interdit was secretly created in 1954 and was worn only by actress Audrey Hepburn, to whom it was given as a gift by Hubert de Givenchy, who had dressed her. For this, he called on a laboratory in [[Grasse]], Roure Bertrand Dupont (nowadays [[Givaudan]]), who started with a base of [[aldehyde]]s, reminiscent of the smell of chic [[dry cleaner]]s, being a typical perfume of the 1950s, where one begins to use for the juices of the odors of the functional universe. In those years, perfumers also often used bouquets of scents, whereas nowadays the notes are more linear. L'Interdit thus includes [[tonka bean]] in the base note. Olfactologist at Givenchy, Françoise Donche notes that “without being sulphurous, L'Interdit evokes a passionate seduction. The mischievous side of the top notes turns out to be quite sensual in the end, the carnation is not so demure and the clove, a burning spice, brings a clearly intoxicating touch.” It is part of the “floral aldehyde” family.

In 1957, Hubert de Givenchy decided to market the perfume, to which Audrey Hepburn replied: “But I forbid you”. The star finally lifted his ban and participated in this to give the name to the perfume.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Figaro|first=Madame|date=2014-09-18|title=1957, L'Interdit de Givenchy|url=https://madame.lefigaro.fr/beaute/1957-linterdit-de-givenchy-170812-273830|access-date=2022-02-10|website=Madame Figaro}}</ref>
