Givenchy is a French fashion brand owned by the luxury and beauty products company LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) and produces clothing, cosmetics and accessories. Through the Parfums Givenchy division, they also produce fragrances and perfumes.
Givenchy perfumes are generally quite popular and well known and the market awareness for their fragrances has recently risen dramatically.
This is largely due to their signing Justin Timberlake as their spokesperson for the recently launched Play for women and for men fragrances along with the Canadian actress and model Noot Sear.
While the Play fragrance for men is quite popular and rated highly, the Play fragrance for women is somewhat tame by comparison. While the scent itself is quite pleasant, it is not very exciting and is easily forgettable.
However, Givenchy has been known to produce some very beautiful and memorable perfumes including L’Intedit, Le De, Organza and Extravaganza d’Amarige.
Another Givenchy perfume that is very highly rated is the My Couture EDP, top notes are freesia and black currant. Middle notes are lily-of-the-valley and jasmine while base notes are almond, musk and woody scents.
Overall, the My Couture fragrance is a white flower light feminine scent that has very good lasting power. It is not obtrusive or invasive but rather a subtle fragrance that is beautiful rather than pretty.
Although it was launched in 2003 and has been discontinued, you can still find the My Couture Givenchy perfume at online retailers.
While these are almost classics in the world of fragrances, Givenchy also has perfumes designed for mass appeal like the Givenchy Irresistible perfume collection.
Givenchy Very Irresistible Sensual eau de parfum is one of those scents that differ dramatically from the eau de toilette. While not altogether a new scent, the eau de parfum has much more personality and the rose tones especially are much deeper.
Apart from the Givenchy Irresistible perfumes, perhaps the only other that is so synonymous with the brand is Ysatis.
Launched in 1984, this is a truly timeless Givenchy fragrance and has both excellent staying power as well as sillage. Top notes include citrus, ylang-ylang, galbanum, coconut, rose wood and aldehydes.
Middle notes are jasmine, rose, iris, tuberose and narcissus while the base is made of musk, amber, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood and civet.
