The Story

Launched in 2006 by Givenchy, Pi Original Code is an Oriental Woody fragrance created by Alberto Morillas. This composition opens with a burst of mandarin orange and basil before transitioning into the heart notes of rosemary and tarragon. The base layers offer warmth from vanilla, almond, tonka bean, benzoin, and cedar. It's a blend that captures the essence of French elegance with an understated complexity.

Application Tips

For best results, apply Pi Original Code to pulse points and allow it to develop on skin. The mandarin orange and basil top notes are bright but fleeting, so the warm base notes will carry you through the day.
