Givenchy

[eastsidecouturechic]

Hello all! I have just two questions about Givenchy. First, i'm not compltely sure how to say it! Is it really just guh-vinch-ee or is there a spin to it?

secondly, can anyone name and pronounce the name of the perfume he dsigned for Audrey Hepburn? maybe midnight*golightly could help with this?

I think the perfume is L'Interdit.
Sorry don't speak French but I do pronounce gi-veng-shi :-)

I won't risk this time :-))

 

[Lena]

are you sure about the spelling?

if correct, then it must be :Lenterdi , just like that , very easy

(never pronounce the T at the end of French words )

Hi, the way you pronounce L'Interdit is: La-Tra-De. I hope this helps.
