The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Sans Artifice by Givenchy is a fragrance that embodies the house's commitment to French elegance and understated sophistication. Created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, this aromatic spicy scent opens with fresh, green, and ozonic notes that create an immediate sense of clarity and freshness. As it evolves, citrus accents blend seamlessly into a warm, powdery base that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The ozonic and green top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's best applied just before heading out for the day. It pairs well with a light jacket in cooler weather.
