The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2026, London Confidential by Givenchy is a daring composition that blends the crispness of blackcurrant and cardamom with the depth of damask rose and leather. Perfumer Nicolas Bonneville crafted this Oriental Floral fragrance to evoke the city's rich blend of contrasts — from its historic charm to its modern sophistication. The heart beats with warm spiciness and aromatic notes, while a touch of oud adds an animalic undertone that grounds the composition in mystery.

How to wear it

London Confidential blooms best after an hour, so apply it slightly heavier initially to ensure you catch its full depth. It reads well close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or evening outings.
