Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Pi Neo by Givenchy is a Woody fragrance created by perfumers Antoine Lie and Francoise Donche. The composition opens with the brightness of mandarin orange and bergamot, giving way to an aromatic heart anchored by anise and myrtle. The base notes of patchouli and vanillin bring warmth and depth, creating a contrast between freshness and spiciness that defines its character.
Apply two sprays initially; the citrus and aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The patchouli base takes over after that, so layering is unnecessary for lasting warmth throughout the day.
