The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Givenchy's Gentlemen Only Parisian Break is an aromatic and green fragrance that captures the essence of a crisp Parisian morning. The composition opens with mint and lemon, providing a bright, refreshing start before transitioning into sage and ambroxan for a warm, herbaceous heart. Haitian vetiver rounds out the base notes, adding depth and earthiness to the overall scent. This fragrance is designed to evoke the distinctive blend of French elegance and modernity that Givenchy is known for.
For best results, apply two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, allowing the herbaceous heart and earthy base notes to take center stage throughout the day.
