The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Sophie Labbé's Very Irresistible Soleil d'Été by Givenchy is a vibrant floral-fruit explosion that captures the essence of summer sun. Launched in 2007, this composition opens with litchi and frangipani, creating a tropical warmth that feels like basking under a radiant sun. The heart of rose and jasmine adds depth and sensuality to the scent, while star anise and pine tree notes bring a soft spicy aroma that grounds it in earthy sophistication.

How to wear it

One to two sprays on pulse points is ideal for this fragrance. Given its moderate longevity and sillage, it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across the room. The fruity top notes dissipate quickly, so a touch-up midway through the day can keep the floral heart prominent.
