The story behind the bottle.
Le Bouquet Absolu by Givenchy was launched in 2011 and is a floral masterpiece created by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This fragrance opens with the bright zest of bergamot and neroli, giving way to a lush heart of jasmine, rose, and orchid that reads as an opulent bouquet frozen in time. The base notes of musk, juniper, and ambergris add warmth and depth, grounding the composition with a subtle spiciness. Le Bouquet Absolu is neither traditionally feminine nor masculine but rather unisex in its elegance.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — Le Bouquet Absolu blooms slowly on the skin. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so allow it time to settle into its heart and base accords for a full experience.
