Irrésistible Nectar Eau de Parfum

Good advertising is genuinely evil because after being assaulted for weeks by pistachios, pâtisserie fluff, sugared little dessert fantasies etc etc, I had to smell this. And oh my god. Sometimes the propaganda wins because the thing is actually good. The original always felt flat and generic to me, while Very Floral's mouthwatering opening was super quenching but dying into a pastel haze almost overly soft and blurred. But Nectar has this girly, delectable, dressed-up quality that is simply immaculate. There is something sweet and chilled about it. A gelato effect, almost. Imagine pistachio ice cream heaped in a silver tub, imagine the temperature of it: cool, glossy, creamy, fresh from the chiller. Almost iridescent in effect, actually. The opening has this lovely sparkle, not acidic nor shrill, evoking fresh neroli petals with a white-gold glint to them. Then comes the Turkish rose, aerated and lifting. It diffuses. This gives the composition a pink, petalled translucence that makes the pistachio and meringue much more elegant. The rose does not vanish as the fragrance develops either and simply softens, still keeping that fresh outline but melting more fully into the edible base. And the pistachio: It arrives in the drydown with the meringue in a way that feels more textural than literal. It brings pale green nuttiness, softly sugared, almost whipped but not thick. Like a crema pasticcera al pistacchio, chilled and whipped. The sweetness has a confectionary charm, but the smooth woody scaffold gives the dessert a more polished spine. Everything works seamlessly, hand in hand, never cheap nor tacky. I really love that it manages to feel sugary without becoming too food-forward. It is not trying to smell the most realistic plated dessert. There is charm in that but also oversaturation. This is rather a fresh airy gourmand, which is rather difficult to pull off while maintaining real delicacy and sophistication. The neroli and rose create this petal-chilled halo around the softer gourmand centre, and the woods keep it from being one-dimensional. It shimmers. Truly. The bottle is not lying. There is something prismatic about it, especially in warm weather. It hovers above skin in a way that feels cool-toned and glossy rather than sticky. To me it smells like high tea in an absurdly beautiful spring garden where everything is in bloom and someone has quietly brought out the most delicate pistachio dessert from a hidden fridge. The silverware is cold. The flowers are bright. The pastries are pretty enough to make you hesitate before eating. Everything catches light in stunning opalescence. You are having a lovely time and do not care who knows it. That is the mood. I am usually suspicious of mass-appealing fragrances because so many of them flatten themselves into sweetness, cleanliness, and generics. But this one really is, really, irresistible (yes!). Skip anything just pleasant, this has pleasure in it. Real pleasure. And I could bask in the chilled rosy-gourmand glow of it forever. It was the only thing I sprayed on myself from Sephora for an entire month and that is never innocent. That is purchase behaviour. I'm obsessed.

When i first sprayed this on, I was a bit put off by the 'green' sort of notes, something a little bitter on my skin. But the dry down? My goodness, what a beautifully creamy scent, nothing really like what I have. Very addictive! If you aren't into roses or sweet scents id steer clear, i think this is safe for work in moderation, definitely will be a beautiful spring scent but may become a little cloying in the summer. Recommend testing this in store, and give it a minute before completely writing it off!

Very distinguishable from the other flankers, sweeter and nuttier than the EDP/Very Floral, and much less powdery than the Velvets due to the absence of Iris. Most youthful number in the line. The synthetic opening put me off at first but I loved the creamy vanilla accords. The rose notes brought light and air to the composition, lifting it to the realm of ethereality. Absolutely delicious, like a delicate petit four at a garden tea party. Much love from me, tethering on the border of addiction.

Love this! I'd describe it as a floral gourmond. On my skin, I get mostly an airy rose at first, then as it dries down the rose takes a back seat to the gourmond notes, especially a creamy pistachio that reminds me of Kheir Beirut Baklava, but lighter and not as honey sweet. I think it's a perfect scent for gourmond lovers (like myself) that want something lighter and fresher for spring and don't mind some florals mixed in.

I'm obsessed with this scent. It's very feminine, with a nice balance of sweet florals, gourmand notes, and woody notes. It opens with neroli and rose, but as it sits on skin, I catch more of the pistachio and vanilla. The woody notes ground the sweetness of it, which I find absolutely delicious. I only have a small sample of this perfume, but I'm pretty sure I will be buying a bigger one in the future!

I am absolutely OBSESSED! This has all the potential to become one of my signature scents. It's the most intoxicating, juicy nectar in a bottle and the name couldn't be more fitting. Every time I wear it, I can't stop sniffing myself. The longevity and sillage are impressive, too. This is such a beautiful, addictive creation. I genuinely can't get enough of it. Love, love, LOVEEEEE!

This is such a comforting and delicious scent. It's not cheap or easily available. Yes, there are many sweet florals, but they are not balanced, as this one is. It's perfect and very well made. I enjoy it so much I got the biggest bottle available and even got it engraved. Givenchy does a great job, overall.

If the word "pretty" had a smell, it would be this fragrance. It embodies femininity perfectly with roses which aren't too old-fashioned and just the right amount of sweetness. In my opinion, you could wear this on any ocassion! I got this as a sample off Sephora and now I need a full bottle 🌹❤️

Can't believe this doesn't has the reviews I would expect This is a show stopper to me, Can't get this fragrance out of my head, literally irresistible Creamy AF, you can feel sweetness, elegance and gourmand Such a beautiful perfume, alone and layered 💜💜 Longevity and sillage are crazy good

I absolutely fell in love with to this one. I been looking for the perfect rose but not a rosy scent and this is it. It’s blended so well. A creamy feminine slightly woody floral scent. This will be my everyday office scent.

This is absolutely beautiful and perfect for spring! Some might say the scent is a bit basic, but that`s what makes it so mass appealing. I kid you not I get compliments every time I wear it. Also the bottle is irresistible

I must update my review. I tested it again and finally the cream and beautifull pistachio revealed. Its so soft and sweet. Very lovley.

This is neroli with salted pistachio. No sweetnes. I can't smell the cream or vanilla.

It opens creamy, whipped creamy with nutty nuance and at the same time very pink and rosy and slightly woody on me. It is very gentle and delicate. Nowhere near My Way or Devotion strength. The cedar, pencil notes are still too prominent which is a minus of all the Irresistibles I tried. But the whipped, pistacchio cream is on the front, followed by gentles rose petals scent. Should be perfect for hot weather. So far I am quite enamored by it. It is so pink, cute and fluffy. 3,5hours have passed and during a super windy walk it was around me in wafts despite its sheerness. 5,5 hours and it no longer projects on my cold skin and stays close to me, but vivid and multifaceted. At 8 hour mark it is a very faint skin scent and needs reapplying for the night or allows scent change, which is a plus sometimes. The gentle rosiness is present but it feels very gourmand on me. Gourmand light.

Oh that's so pretty and sweet! 🩷💚🩷 Definitely a not overdone boring rose! 🌹 On my skin: Cream, pistachio and vanilla come through and I'm here for it! It's both that AND refreshing without it being a freshie. 0 neroli on my skin. It smells new, elegant, smooth-soft romantic. I like it a lot!!! Not a gourmand or soapy. It doesn't remind me of anything, which is a huge plus for me. I can see wearing it in daytime and mark a period of my life making memories with that. It's simple and beautiful. A unicorn 🦄 My mom gave it a 7/10 😭 she doesn't like it. she said it smells like the 🌽 corn whiskers. My dad didn't like it at all either... He gave it a 6/10 😅.

I bought this last night. The G Rep at the counter slightly flinched when I said it smells like I tossed a bar of Dove into a bowl of Trix. What? I bought it, didn't I?? Lol It's great! I just wish it had more lasting power. $170 is a lot for me with little siliage or stay...did I spell siliage right?? Idek All I know is I had Poison Girl and ppl say it's similar but I don't see it. This really doesn't smell like anything else I have tried. But it's pretty, delish, rosy, lactonic, and has a bit of mystery to it. Classy, but can be daily worn, almost edible but for the floral, and (IMO) very unique.

Pistachio is hit or miss for me, but this is a hit! It's sweet without being heavy or 'food-forward', a fresh airy gourmand. The rose and cream blend so well in this, the pistachio adds just enough depth and nuttiness (thankfully doesn'tgive that play-dough vibe that pistachio can have). It's a crowd pleasing fragrance that would work for daily use. Nothing crazy unique,but it's balanced and blended to perfection. Longevity: 4-6 hours on skin, 8+ on clothes

This fragrance is almost DEVOTION INTENSE in the dry down i swear, a little less sweet, but the same one!! The opening is quite different though from the latter, a nutty rose (a little herbal-green). After the first blast, rose dials back and it’s a nutty-citrus phase, followed by a nutty orange blossom with vanilla. Rose is barely perceptible during the dry down. I like it, easier to wear in summer compared to devotion lmao

I’m not a big fan of the original, but I do enjoy the Nectar version. However, if you haven’t explored neroli before, this might not be the one for you. It’s sweet. cute and fun but not nutty for me. I agree with LuvOxLixir this smells glossy to me and refreshing in the heat. I welcome the whiffs I get throughout the day - they smell like whip cream and pear. Yes, pear is not in the mix but this is how it smells to my nose.

Rose on first spray, then it dries down and you start to smell the pistachio and merengue. The rose does not disappear as it wears down but becomes less sharp. The woodiness is sweet in this btu definitely comes through as it dries. This is very pretty. This won't be for everyday wear, but I am glad to have bought it.
