What does Very Irrésistible Givenchy (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The rose appears in several forms rather than one: Rosa centifolia, fantasia rose, passion rose and emotion rose. Peony lightens the floral picture, vervain adds freshness, and aniseed gives the fruity sweetness a spicy edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by summer and fall, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads mainly feminine, and some voters also call it modern. Acqua di Parma Peonia Nobile and Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet have a close profile.
