Launched in 1994, Insense Ultramarine by Givenchy is a composition that balances vibrant freshness with deep warmth. Perfumer Christian Mathieu crafted this aromatic fruity fragrance for men, blending the bright tartness of watermelon and black currant with the green zing of galbanum and mint. The heart introduces floral notes like iris and magnolia, adding complexity before settling into a base of warm spices and woody accords such as vetiver and cedar. This dynamic interplay creates a scent that is both invigorating and grounding.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays for a balanced effect — the bright top notes will fade within an hour, giving way to the deeper, more lasting base. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where crisp citrus meets subtle floral notes and settles into a warm, woody finish.
