Launched in 2018 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer François Demachy, Eau de Givenchy (2018) is a fresh and vibrant fragrance that embodies the French brand's signature elegance. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend of petitgrain, bergamot, lemon, orange, and mandarin orange, which gives way to a heart of white florals and green notes, including neroli and hedione. This is balanced by a woody base of vetiver and cedar, providing warmth and depth without heaviness.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced wear. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's best to layer this fragrance throughout the day if you want to keep its freshness going. It pairs well with light outerwear and is ideal for daytime and early evening.
