The story behind the bottle.
Be Givenchy, launched by Givenchy in 2009, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and American glamour. The composition opens with zesty lime and ginger, creating an invigorating freshness that contrasts beautifully with the sweet, ripe cherry and the delicate floral notes of honeysuckle, jasmine, and orange blossom. These florals weave together to form a harmonious heart, while musk, cedar, and amber provide a warm, woody base that grounds the scent.
Givenchy Be Givenchy reads best close to skin rather than filling a room. A light spritz in the morning will allow the citrusy top notes to brighten your day while the warm base notes gradually come into play, providing a subtle yet lasting warmth.
