L'Interdit (2002)

Givenchy · 2002

Fresh · Floral · Green

Givenchy L'Interdit is a fresh, floral and powdery women's fragrance led by violet leaf, peach and rose; it has been discontinued. It opens with violet leaf, peach, rose, peony and osmanthus, giving a fresh, green and fruity bouquet. In the heart, orange blossom, tuberose and heliotrope deepen the floral side while plum adds sweetness. The base of musk, cedar and amber forms a woody, powdery foundation. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it mostly for leisure, nights out and the office, so it reads as an easy women's scent that runs from day into evening. Joop! Berlin and Bvlgari Bvlgari pour Femme have a close profile.

Very Irrésistible Givenchy for Men Summer

Givenchy · 2006

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Givenchy Very Irrésistible Givenchy for Men Summer is a fresh, citrusy men's scent built on grapefruit and mint; it has been discontinued. 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.
