The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oblique Rewind by Givenchy, launched in 2000 and crafted by Nathalie Lorson, is a composition that defies categorization with its blend of sweet and woody notes. It opens with the freshness of cherry and bergamot, which soon gives way to honeyed warmth and nutty cashmere wood. Patchouli and amber add depth, grounding the scent in earthy tones while jasmine brings a touch of floral softness.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — Oblique Rewind develops best close to skin. The scent is warm and enveloping, so it’s perfect for evenings when you want something comforting yet sophisticated.
