Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Absolu d’Oranger

I sprayed this one on me when I was in the airport of Doha. Had I known it is a limited edition for the Middle East!!!! I loved it. Right after application, all I could smell was the Orange Blossom note. After it settled, the most prominent note was still the same, but vanilla and tonka bean made their appearance. They are really well blended. The other notes didn't pop up that much, but they are definitely there. It's veeeery long lasting. On my clothes, it only vanished because I washed them. On me, one entire day (obviously, it faded after a shower). Its projection is also outstanding. Luckily, the person sitting beside on the plane didn't complain. It did remind me of the original Ange ou Demon in its warmth, it sort of sends a similar vibe, but all in all they're two different fragrances. I regret not buying it.

This is definitely one of my favorites in my collection. It's very smoky/incensy for the first few hours. The white flowers are noticable too ,but it's vanilla and incense that give the fragrance it's character. Has an air of mystery, is powerful, and yet is a wearable Oriental in my opinion. On the drydown, the incense backs off and the vanilla and tonka take the stage. It gets sweeter (but not gourmand sweet) and it's quite smooth and well rounded. Great longevity - very good silage. Very luscious and luxurious smelling. Love it!

On me, this is a beautiful, sensual gourmand with a neroli twist. It’s warm and opulent but not too heavy at all. Easily my favorite of the Eaudemoiselles. Absolutely gorgeous on my skin, and one of the top 5 I reach for when it comes to special occasions or date night where I want to feel feminine and sexy.

absolutely amazing. a gorgeous fragrance i cannot get enough of. maybe its me living in the middle east but oh my god this smells so luxurious and rich. my signature fragrance from now on, 10/10, i want to fill my cupboards with this.

C'est vrai, Monsieur Givenchy, une autre vie, c'est un parfum de grande dame. So yes, compared to the the original which has a jam rose so strong it was tearing you apart, this is a jewelry. It is a white perfume, you can feel a rose here as well, but a pleasant green one, a garden rose. It really feels like an orange blossom and a sour orange, I don't see it as a gourmand, it has more a resinous notes type, something spicy. Also has something smoky, a shadow smoke but a fragrant one, like a burnt incense smoke from the very floral Orthodox Church area. But it is still a powdery perfume, very fine, nothing aggressive or violent and with a good soothing woody note, which I really like. I'm glad there's another Givenchy that I like after my love Amarige Mariage.
