What does Givrine (2004) smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with bergamot, kumquat and watermelon. The heart builds a floral bouquet of lily of the valley, violet, gardenia and peony. The base leaves a woody, creamy ground of musk, blond woods, sandalwood and patchouli.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with daily wear, office and leisure leading. Most find it feminine. Jacques Fath White Irissime and Miller Harris Secret Gardenia have a close profile.
