Irresistible Givenchy

This masterpiece right here might become my favourite perfume of all time (and I have been only wearing it for 2 months). The story: I saw some people raving about it on TikTok so I gave it a chance. At first, I only bought a sample. Let me tell you, when I wore the sample the first and second time, I was not impressed. It was like an okay scent to me, but there was something in it that irritated my nose. However, my Italian husband loved it on me and couldn’t stop smelling it. When I ran out of the sample I was like: I won’t buy it. Eventhough my husband likes it, I can’t stand one note in it.. few weeks passed by and of course the thought of my husband liking it did not let this perfume out of my mind. I bought it in full size.. and girls, listen to me, when I sprayed the full size, I was blown away!! My nose somehow picked up on a different note this time, and I fell in love!! To me, it doesn’t smell soapy at all!! It smells like a fresh, juicy pear mixed with some flowers and musk. I can’t really describe the smell better. But when I tell you, that I am mostly a gourmand girlie in fragrances (Black Opium, Devotion etc..), and this perfume just shook my world. I have been using it for 2 months and literally anytime I wear it I can’t stop smelling myself!! Fun fact: I do not like rose perfumes.. but this perfume doesn’t even smell like rose to me. But if it does then it is a beautifully done, fresh, youthful rose, not a granny type one. I think that this fragrance is a wifey type of fragrance. I wouldn’t particularly say that it is for the young teen generation, but not for older women either. It is for younger or middle aged women like me. I can imagine a clean girl, or a wife, or a bride wearing it. No surprise my husband loves it. I tell to you: let’s give it a try. I did not like it at first, and now I can’t imagine my life without it. It is such an inoffensive scent. Also sometimes it happens to me that I get bored of a scent soon.. well, I repeat myself, I cannot stop smelling it after 2 months of use. And the best part is: sillage and longetivity to me is literally out of this world. Amazing.

I’m so glad I did not let the bad reviews sway me. I absolutely love this perfume. Performance is decent not bad. In fact, it’s lasting longer on my skin than some of my other perfumes. I really like the pear note in here. It gives the perfume a sparkling feel. My mom recommended it to me after she got it and said that she gets a lot of compliments at work with this scent. It’s very fresh and fruity. Perfect balance between floral and fruit. I’m laughing at the review below me that says it smells like sweet fried chicken, I do not see how or if they were just trying to be funny... but it’s funny how our nose registers things to our brains. This is a great spring and if you care about scent profiles matching weather and seasons. But this could easily be a daily driver, signature scent. It’s very clean girl meets fruity. I walked around Nordstrom for an hour smelling all different scents trying to decide what to get during their sale today and I’m glad I landed on this one. It’s unlike anything I have and it comes in a 4.2 oz bottle which is nice. I’ve been wearing it for 3 hrs on a very hot summer day and it’s still projecting very nicely. Very happy with this purchase! After wearing for a few days, I am very very impressed with this perfumes longevity. It lasts all day, but I spray like 8 sprays. It’s so juicy sweet, I love smelling my shirt and getting wiffs of this perfume as I move. Absolutely love this. It smells like the cleanest smelling shampoo. Ah it’s soo good!!!

I bought this years ago when I was feeling down, and it instantly made me feel beautiful. It's a designer fragrance that deserves it. I knew it was a good investment when, one of the first times i wore it, my brother walked in the room and immediately remarked, 'something smells very good in here' - men, it seems, definitely notice. And whomever you walk past will notice; you'll probably make them hungry. You can wear it in any weather at any time, but especially at evening gatherings, because you'll smell like an old fashioned lolly shop in a flower field on a summer's night in a country town; and in winter, you'll remind them of nice weather. It's not cloying at all, but subtly fills the room with nice musky smell. And one thing about going through perfumes very slowly, is I know that it keeps well after years on my shelf in the box - the same one. It's very pricy, but worth every cent.

Oh, how I love this perfume. It is my favourite perfume and I finished my bottle, I hope to buy a new refillable bottle around December. I just wish they came up with a refillable bottle before I bought mine. It is the prettiest floral perfume. I never really payed attention to the notes of the perfume. So I cannot say that I get the pear or rose or ambrette. I'll update my review once I smell it again. Moreover, I think the price point is okay. I mean it is a designer so you can't expect it to be cheap or anything. For the ones' who are curious about the opposite sex's opinion, I showed the bottle to my male best friend and he smelled the bottle. He said that he would want and imagine his girlfriend to smell like scent. It is a pure and sweet scent. It does give a doting girlfriend/wife vibe, I'll give the credit to him.

For me, it's a beautiful and feminine scent. I got the tester over half a year ago and based on that, the first time I tried it, I didn't remember it. But the second time I did, and I couldn't shake the idea that this scent definitely has to be in my small collection. Many have mentioned that it's too artificial and shampoo-like. But I think a lot depends on the specific perfume wearer. On my skin, this scent is delicate, slightly sweet and slightly powdery, with notes of rose and iris shining through along with musk. I don't smell pear. This scent is definitely suitable for layering with some citrus scent (Versace Yellow Diamond) or with a deeper, more elegant scent (Miss Dior 2017).
