What does Eau de Givenchy (1980) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, business and leisure wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, while some call it classic.

Citrus and green tones set the first impression, then floral jasmine and honeysuckle follow, adding a soft, fruity touch. Sandalwood underneath gives a woody, slightly spicy base and rounds out the chypre character.
