The story behind the bottle.
Eau de Givenchy was launched in 1980 by the renowned French fashion house, created by perfumers Daniel Hoffmann and Daniel Molière. This fragrance embodies a harmonious blend of fresh citrus and green accords with white florals like lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. The composition opens with bright notes of grapefruit and bergamot, which give way to the delicate sweetness of honeysuckle and narcissus. A woody base of oakmoss, cedar, and sandalwood provides a grounding warmth that contrasts beautifully with the freshness above.
Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for a more intimate scent experience. The bright citrus top notes are fleeting, so the heart and base notes will carry the lasting warmth throughout the day.
