Dora Baghriche's Faux Semblant by Givenchy, launched in 2023, weaves together a warm and complex composition that defies easy categorization. The fragrance opens with the sweet-spicy interplay of honey and angelica, leading into a heart of orange blossom that softens the overall warmth without overpowering it. This is followed by a rich base of oud, patchouli, and white sandalwood, creating an enveloping cocoon of woody and spicy notes. Faux Semblant embodies Givenchy's signature blend of French elegance and modern sophistication.

Application Tips
Apply one generous spray to ensure that the honey and angelica notes have enough presence. The fragrance's base will develop over time, so it is best to let it settle for about an hour before heading out. It reads better close to skin than in a room.
