What does Givenchy III (2007) smell like?

It opens with hyacinth and galbanum, fresh and sharply green. In the heart, jasmine and oriental rose soften the floral side, while oakmoss and patchouli build a woody, spicy base. The overall impression is fresh, green and classic in the chypre manner.

Sillage is moderate and longevity is rated good. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and works for evenings too. Voters mostly find it feminine and classic. Nicolaï Le Temps d'Une Fête and Siam 1928 Aerapata have a close profile.
