Le De Givenchy — a 1957 fragrance that needs no introduction. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the wood, musk, and floral families. The author of this composition is Hubert de Givenchy, and that explains a lot. Offered in eau de toilette concentration.
The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. Longevity is moderate — not too much, not too little, just right. Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Le De Givenchy unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Le De Givenchy evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Givenchy is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Wood and Aromatic. The framework further includes Whiteflower, Floral, Green and Earthy / Mossy.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Coriander, Mandarin and Rosewood.
When the opening settles you detect Clove, Jasmine, Lilac, Lily of the Valley, Rose and Violet root carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Powdery and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
In summary Le De Givenchy reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
