The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, Pi Fraiche is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of French elegance with an unexpected twist. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord featuring bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine, creating a fresh and invigorating start. This gives way to a heart of jasmine and pine needles, adding depth and complexity. The base notes of woody accords, benzoin, amber, sandalwood, and balsamic elements create a warm and enveloping finish that lingers softly on the skin.
One or two sprays is sufficient to capture the essence of Pi Fraiche. The citrus opening fades within an hour, so for longer wear, apply it closer to your pulse points where the warmth of your skin can enhance the woody and amber notes that unfold throughout the day.
