About
Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label by Givenchy is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label was launched in 2004. Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label was created by Alberto Morillas and Ilias Ermenidis. Top notes are Grapefruit and Bergamot; middle notes are Pepper, Lavender, Cardamom and Artemisia; base notes are Cedar, Vetiver and Olibanum. This is a relaxing and carefree version of Givenchy pour Homme. It is a fresh and dynamic fragrance for an active man which appreciates freedom. The fragrance has preserved the elegance, but has gained a new rebellious note. The combination of woodsy notes has got a new intensity and accord due to fresh cocktail of grapefruit and bergamot and presence of hedione. This perfume, as well as Givenchy pour Homme, was created by Alberto Morillas and Ilias Ermenidis in 2004.
