What does Very Irrésistible Givenchy for Men Summer smell like?

Longevity is weak and sillage moderate, so it stays close without leaving much of a trail. As the name suggests, it suits warm days and reads masculine.

Grapefruit and mint give it a lively, cool feel. Sesame and walnut soften that freshness with a light sweetness, while Virginia cedar adds a quiet dry woodiness. Fresh and citrus accords lead, with floral, green and fruity sides and a spicy touch. Perfumes with a close profile include The Merchant Of Venice Pink Grapefruit and Molinard Thé Basilic.
