The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Very Irresistible Givenchy Summer Cocktail for Women is a vibrant aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of an effortless summer evening. Created by perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Fanny Bal, it opens with green and spicy notes that evoke a fresh, invigorating start to the day. The heart combines rose and fruity accords, offering a delicate balance between floral sweetness and juicy freshness. The base rounds out the composition with anis and aromatic notes, creating a warm and inviting finish.
Given its moderate longevity and sillage, apply this fragrance two to three times on pulse points for a lasting yet subtle presence. The aromatic base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so plan your application accordingly.
