The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, Pi Extreme is a bold exploration of contrasts. The fragrance opens with a striking leather note that cuts through the warm spicy accords, creating an immediate tension between modernity and tradition. As it settles into a woody base laced with vanilla and smoky undertones, Pi Extreme offers a rich, enveloping warmth that feels both animalic and luxurious.
Pi Extreme's smoky base notes take time to develop fully — allow it to settle for at least half an hour before heading out. A single generous spray on each wrist or neck will keep the warmth close to your skin, making it perfect for evening wear.
