The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Play For Her, launched by Givenchy in 2010 and created by perfumers Émilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with a bright burst of pink pepper and peach, giving way to a heart of orange blossom and sweet pea, which are delicately balanced with bergamot and orchid. As it settles, the base notes of tonka bean, sandalwood, and musk create a warm, powdery finish that is both comforting and alluring.

How to wear it

Apply Play For Her to pulse points for a gentle warmth that builds throughout the day. The bright top notes are fleeting, so focus on the heart and base notes by applying it closer to skin rather than in an open cloud.
