The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Very Irresistible L'Eau en Rose by Givenchy is a floral fragrance that celebrates the queen of all flowers — the rose. Created by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, this scent features a bold and bright composition with pronounced notes of roses. Juicy blackberries surround the heart of rose, adding liveliness and sparkle to the blend, while musk provides a gentle cloud of tenderness and sensuality in the base.
Given its moderate longevity and sillage, apply two sprays to ensure it lasts through your day. The fragrance blooms fully within half an hour, so allow some time for all notes to settle into harmony on your skin.
