Launched in 1993 by Givenchy, Insense was crafted by perfumer Daniel Molière as a fresh and aromatic fougère for men. The composition opens with bright aldehydes and citrus notes like black currant, bergamot, mandarin orange, and lemon, creating an invigorating freshness that feels both crisp and vibrant. As the scent develops, lavender and basil add layers of herbal warmth, while lily-of-the-valley, magnolia, iris, and fir provide a woody-green base that grounds the overall composition.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a balanced presence. The bright top notes are fleeting but make way for a longer-lasting heart and base that develop gradually over time.
