I decided to take a closer look at the history behind the name and the perfume we have in the shop below, L'Interdit. I find unique pieces and then wonder about their origin. It is part of why I love what I do!

It all started with Hubert de Givenchy. Here is an excerpt from the Givenchy website:
As soon as Parfums Givenchy was founded in 1957, it became identified with what is now a legendary story: the meeting of Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn, a charming young star of American cinema. Together, they invented the "Givenchy style", in which French elegance meets American glamour, a combination of light-hearted sophistication and dazzling modernity.
Hubert de Givenchy created his first fragrance, L’Interdit, in homage to the delicate, romantic, big-hearted femininity of Audrey Hepburn.

Lovely! I always look forward to getting your newsletters with updates on your recent finds.
Audrey Hepburn was so classy! I wish that more of today's starlets followed her example!
Audrey Hepburn is so pretty. I still haven't seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I'm told it's such a charming show. Wish I had the perfume!
