The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2025 by Givenchy and crafted by Fabrice Pellegrin, L'Enfant Terrible embodies the rebellious spirit of Hubert de Givenchy. This fresh spicy fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of Calabrian bergamot and pure ginger extract, creating an invigorating contrast that sets the tone for its unconventional journey. The heart of black tea and ginger adds warmth and depth, while the base notes of musk, ambroxan, cedar, and labdanum anchor the composition in rich, smoky woody nuances.

How to wear it

Apply L'Enfant Terrible to pulse points for a more intense experience. The bergamot and ginger notes are bright but fleeting, so layering with the woody base can extend its longevity throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to the skin rather than in a wide sillage.
