Givenchy L’Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 20 December 2021 7 Comments

Givenchy will launch L'Interdit Édition Millésime Nocturnal Jasmine, a new fragrance for women, in Spring 2022. L'Interdit Édition Millésime Nocturnal Jasmine is a flanker to the 2018 version of L'Interdit.

L'Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine focuses on the jasmine note in the original (2018) L'Interdit, using a harvest from southern India gathered at sunset. Additional notes for the woody floral include vetiver and patchouli.

Givenchy L'Interdit Édition Millésime Nocturnal Jasmine will be a limited edition, available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

Update: Additional notes include bitter almond. The brand description...

Vibrancy and sensuality merge into a rich floral bouquet of Indian jasmine flowers with L'Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine Édition Millésime. An exceptionally elegant expression of L’Interdit Eau de Parfum. At the heart of the white bouquet, jasmine flower takes on a new dimension, more dazzling than ever. With its petals gradually unfurling as night falls, the flowers are picked in their bud stage to harness their delicate strength. Blossoming in a harvest exclusively dedicated to Givenchy, the delicacy of this white flower with a bold core is fully expressed. Its powerful, wild floral note, blending spice with the warmth of apricot, is the hallmark of this new opus. A unique jasmine flower grown with traditional savoir-faire in Coimbatore, India has been specially selected for L'Interdit Nocturnal Jasmine Édition Millésime. For many years, Givenchy has worked hand in hand with local teams in the region to preserve ancestral craftsmanship in jasmine cultivation while fostering eco-responsible farming practices. This partnership enables access to a fixed income and helps develop the local economy. Regular visits ensure safe working conditions for the women and men who harvest and extract this precious flower. Experience the thrill of the forbidden with L’Interdit, a fragrance that invites you to defy convention and embrace your singularity.

    I believe that perfume is called forbidden 1000 edition nocturnal jasmine. So is that the 1000th edition of night jasmine, or is 1000 times forbidden to have jasmine at night?
    Note that “nocturnal” does not mean “at sunset” when the jasmine was supposedly harvested.
    Also note that jasmine was only one of several middle notes in the 2018 reboot of Interdit, but it sounds like the base notes are similar.

    Or a Creative Director who hasn’t a clue but things that if you string together enough random words it will sound classy?
    How about just callinf this Jasmine Interdit.; that sounds lovely enough.

      I do not think they meant any of it that literally…generally millesime just means it is from a specific harvest, which reportedly is the case here :-)

      Would guess they are starting with the jasmine and future limited editions will focus on other notes from other specific harvests.

        That’s interesting, Robin, I was wondering what Millesime signified, since there are a couple scents with that in the name around now, more or less…

          Millésime signifies “great vintage”: it’s from the Latin word for a thousandth, which means it’s one crop in a thousand. It’s used… not often, exactly, but regularly in fragrances to denote the use of a particularly terrific harvest: Creed likes to throw it around, as does Givenchy, and of course Guerlain used it for that Shalimar flanker recently.

            Thank you for explaining that – I never bothered to look up millesime, a word I first noticed on my bottle of Creed Royal Oud, because I feel often what Dilana expresses – marketing blather just confuses expectations.

            It also generally translates to “limited edition”, and frequently “limited edition series” :-)

        Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for clarifying the use of the term “millesime.” I am somewhat dubious of the notion that each harvest of flowers is sufficiently different to be detectable in a final perfume, since the flowers undergo so much processing before there is a chemical to be added into the perfume. (In contrast, grapes juice goes through a lot less to become wine).
        That is assuming that the jasmine is actually natural jasmine and from a single harvest.
        After all, each year Guerlain claims to produce a unique “Muget” harvested from that year’s harvest of lillies of the valley, even though that flower is not actually used to make fragrance.
