The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, MMW by Givenchy is a composition that embodies the audacious and elegant spirit of Matthew M. Williams, Creative Director for both women's and men's collections at Givenchy. The fragrance opens with Guatemalan cardamom, bringing a spicy aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully with the warm, woody heart of Palo Santo. This blend transitions seamlessly into a base of Ambroxan, Atlas Cedar, Virginia Cedar, Iso E Super, and Haitian vetiver, creating a rich and textured olfactory experience. Givenchy's reputation for French elegance and American glamour is reflected in MMW’s contemporary and chic edge.
Layering MMW with Accord Particulier amplifies its woody aromatic signature for a more faceted result. Apply two sprays to allow the warm base notes to fully bloom on your skin throughout the day.
