Launched in 2008, Givenchy Play Eau de Toilette by Émilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac is a vibrant and dynamic fragrance that captures the essence of youthful energy. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of bitter orange, grapefruit, bergamot, and mandarin orange, creating an invigorating freshness. This fresh start transitions into a heart of coffee and pepper, adding warmth and spice, before settling into a woody base with vetyver and patchouli, grounded by the aromatic tobacco blossom.

Application Tips
Givenchy Play has a bright top note that fades within two hours. To ensure you capture its full essence throughout the day, apply it to pulse points and allow it to layer as the base notes emerge. It’s best enjoyed during cooler weather when the spicy and woody elements are most prominent.
