The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Givenchy, My Givenchy Dream is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumer Mark Buxton. The composition opens with bright clementine and black currant, giving way to a heart of lily-of-the-valley, rose, and jasmine that reads as an explosion of floral sweetness. The base notes of sandalwood, patchouli, and amber provide a warm, enveloping finish. This scent is neither overtly masculine nor feminine but exudes the kind of elegant versatility Givenchy has long been known for.
Apply two sprays — the bright clementine top note will fade within an hour, but the floral heart and woody base will remain throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than filling a room.

Mark Buxton
The blind-test prodigyMark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
