Irrésistible Givenchy Eau de Toilette Fraiche

It has such a joyous start. Fruity-floral at its best. Reminiscent of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Then it turns a bit woody, but cedar finally is not too prominent in Irresistible collection. It is toned down a lot. The drydown is divine. Fresh, inviting, floral-sweet. To hug someone smelling like that is a pure pleasure. The freshness is toned down by slightly lipsticky rose-iris pair. Just beautiful. Successful blind buy. Safe to use in the morning it will wake one up. Safe for the office and for casual and romantic occassions. I know the eau de parfum, Nude Velvet and this I possibly prefer. A love at first contact. The musk in it is warm and carnal. My husband likes it. After five hours it still goes strong in a private bubble and it is a gorgeous fruity-floral with very subtle woody background. Refreshing, cute, timeless. With time orange becomes stronger and the scent is starting to fade away but it is detectable in wafts from time to time past 8 hours of wear.

I received a sample of this fragrance today. Being a man, I'm always happy when I receive random feminine samples so that I can broaden my ofactory knowledge. Irresistilbe EF is fresh, bright, clean and delicious! The pear note, though not listed, is very prominent in this version too, and it's a succulent and icey one, so aromatic that it conjures the image of a pear & basil sorbet. So fresh that It could also be the scent of some of those beauty product lines marketed for post sun-bathing use - and I say that in the best sense possible, without implying that Irresistible is unsophysticated or unrefined. By pure coincidence I was wearing another wonderful creation by the same gang today: YSL L'Homme Intense. Blessed be that day when someone decided to pair Flipo's and Ropion's talents. BTW, this perfume is truly unresistable!

I was hesitant to buy it because of negative reviews but I like the notes listed for it so I took a chance, moreover I found it at a very good price. I am happy I bought it. In my opinion it's underrated. To me this falls into category of stronger but fresh and sparkly EDT, the EDT that performs like an EDP - the Miss Dior type which I love. I do get a lot of sweet mandarin orange and a hint of pink pepper in the beginning, which is very refreshing; then it becomes a very nice musky rose, still retaining the sweetness but not overwhelmingly so. It is a strong scent though, it may feel heavy for some people, so I do understand the reviews in this sense. It is probably not a safe blind buy. It lasts and projects very well on my skin: 5 hours+, which is very good for an EDT. I am personally very happy with it.

This simple fragrance fascinates me, utterly. An opening of orange, pink roses and musk followed by a quick set-in dry down of iris and musk dominating and the other notes playing lovely background music. In the humid heat, irresistible, ouais. The DNA is simple, but it is exactly for that purpose. The entire Irresistible line of fragrances intrigue me for their simplicity and tastefulness. But the price of the bottle is a barrier to ownership, I don't think they're priced for what they are. And that's all I have to say.

This is such a gorgeous fragrance. It smells bright, energetic, and delectable. I know this smell! It smells just like Yakult, the Korean yogurt drink (or a bit like Milkis the soda). Sadly, it fades so quickly... It's gone within the hour. Vanished. In its final 30 minutes, it's a quiet floral whisper. I wish it lasted even 2 hours, then I'd buy it.
