Foudroyant by Givenchy is a composition that opens the door to the secret apartment in the Givenchy Hôtel Particulier and invites you with a piercing gaze. Created by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Nicolas Bonneville, this Oriental Woody fragrance launched in 2022 combines supreme elegance with intense addiction. The aromatic notes of Cedar Leaf merge seamlessly with the mysterious woody depth provided by Tolu Balsam and Labdanum. Warmth is brought to the composition through Tolu Balm, an amber elixir extracted from trees in Latin America. This duality between light and darkness culminates in an exceptionally pure Oud Essence, which wraps the fragrance with a seductive charm.

Application Tips
Apply Foudroyant with two sprays for optimal impact. The cedar top notes are bright but fleeting, so rely on the base notes of Oud Essence to carry the fragrance throughout the day. It's best suited for evening wear or occasions where you want a scent that lingers close to your skin.
