The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Gaiac Mystique by Givenchy is an olfactory exploration into the realm of woody and smoky nuances, crafted by perfumer Irène Farmachidi. The fragrance opens with a powdery iris that creates a soft, inviting atmosphere before being enveloped by the earthy richness of guaiac wood in the heart. The base notes introduce a warm and balmy blend of tonka bean and incense, adding depth and mystery to the composition. Gaiac Mystique is part of Givenchy's L'Atelier collection, known for its innovative and enigmatic scents.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — Gaiac Mystique’s base notes take time to bloom fully. The powdery iris is present initially but gives way to a rich smoky warmth that lasts through the day.
