The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cœur Fou by Givenchy, created by Alexandra Monet and launched in 2024, is a Chypre Floral fragrance that marries the freshness of green and aromatic notes with the warmth of earthy woods. The composition opens with cassis and basil, which create an invigorating contrast to the heart of Bulgarian, Turkish, and Damask roses. This floral bouquet then transitions into a base of moss and Indonesian patchouli leaf, grounding the scent in a rich, earthy foundation. Cœur Fou embodies Givenchy’s signature blend of French elegance with contemporary flair.

How to wear it

Apply Cœur Fou to pulse points for an initial burst of freshness from the top notes. As it settles into your skin over time, the floral and woody base will emerge more prominently, ensuring a lasting warmth without overpowering the room.
