The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007, Very Irresistible Sensual Velvet by Givenchy is a Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of French elegance and American glamour. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of anise and rose, before transitioning into a warm, enveloping base of vanilla, patchouli, and soft spices. This scent reads as both floral and woody, creating a complex yet harmonious profile that feels both modern and lasting.
Given its enormous sillage and long-lasting nature, one to two sprays is sufficient. Apply it close to your skin for a more intimate experience — this fragrance reads better when worn close rather than sprayed from afar.
