Launched in 1957 by Givenchy, Le De Givenchy was crafted by perfumer Michel Hy and represents a pivotal moment in the brand’s history. This Woody Floral Musk fragrance combines floral elegance with powdery warmth, creating a lasting composition that captures the essence of French sophistication. The scent opens with fresh tarragon and coriander, which give way to lily-of-the-valley and lilac, before settling into a rich base of orris root, sandalwood, and amber. It is a fragrance that epitomizes Givenchy’s blend of French elegance and American glamour, reflecting the chic fashions favored by celebrities in the 1960s.

Application Tips
Le De Givenchy projects best with two sprays — the fresh tarragon and coriander notes open up quickly but fade after about an hour. The heart and base notes, rich in floral and woody accords, develop slowly and last throughout the day. It’s ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves gracefully.
