Live Irrésistible

I find it amazing how Givenchy perfumes work on me. Usually my skin makes ANY perfume disappear in a matter of one or two hours. I've tried most praized for their longevity such as TM's Alien,Rebelle by Rihanna,Manifesto etc. and none worked well with my skin longevity wise. The only perfume so far that stayed put on my skin was Givenchy's Very Irresistible and I've been using that one for years. Today I got a bottle of this liquid gold and voila,same longevity and sillage as Very Irresistible. I don't know what they do differently but I hope they continue doing it. This is one gorgeous,feminine,vibrant perfume. One that makes you feel alive,makes you want to seize the day,one that turns heads. It's sweet and strong yet not headache inducing,bold yet not suffocating. Perfect for summer days or evenings,although,in my opinion,it would smell amazing during cold days as well,when we all need some sunshine. Roses,musk and pepper could do their magic during winter months yet pineapple makes this perfume pure perfection during summer. It does seem sweet for the first few minutes but after that it develops into such a sophisticated but not cloying scent. If perfumes normally last long on you,you might want to use it sparingly. It is not everyone's cup of tea so get a sample first and try it before buying. For me this is one of those perfumes that make you wish you could walk backwards just so you can smell it. It's a wrist sniffer,delicious sunshiny bottled femininity. I sprayed it only twice today and I've been sitting for hours in it's cloud of deliciousness,enjoying every minute of it. I could praise it forever but you must try it for yourself. Happy sniffing.

Smelling Live Irresistible makes me think of summer holidays, parties and just having a good time without a care. The pineapple is strong in the beginning, and I think the combination with praline, patchouli, amber and pepper is quite unusual. This is not a fruit cocktail or too sour. It's sweet and spicy, warm, intense and delicious. A bit pastry-like. I also smell some other spices besides the black pepper, I found allspice as a note on another website and that makes sense to me. Rose is not a prominent note in this in my opinion, but maybe its slight, berry-ish floralcy takes the scent from foody to perfumey, without taking the center stage. The final drydown is a sweet, ambery patchouli-gourmand on me. Be warned if you don't like sweet scents. This is really super sweet. I don't really get why some say Live Irresistible is similar to LVEB, but I guess every sweet perfume smells like LVEB to at least one person. To me, this doesn't. And it smells even less like Armani Si, really, these aren't comparable at all.

This is a sparkling, juicey, fruity floral. The opening has a hint of pineapple, but the tangerine is more prominent to my nose. This lasts about an hour. Then the drydown is a soft rose, which I really enjoy even as someone who does not usually like rose as a note. This lasts a few hours on my skin, but over a day on clothing. The sillage is moderate. On paper this has a spicey/oriental vibe, but I don't appreciate this on my skin. Because of this sometimes perceptible spice, I would say it could be worn in any season, but I would wear in the warmer months. I agree with Sailor V... It reminds me of a casual summer evening celebration. This is a bright, joyful scent and although it has a youthful feel, I think it can be worn at any age. Suitable for day/office or casual evening. Rating 9/10

I got it as a gift and honestly it was a great surprise. It’s funny because I wear for casual routine and it’s the most complimented perfume I have, basically everyone loves this one. I had no idea it would be such a good fragrance. I first feel more the sweet pineapple and then a delicious sweet floral. It’s not a invasive scent, it’s more delicate, but still powerful. It sticks to the skin and clothes and leaves a delicious feminine smell where you pass by. Once I was playing with a friend’s dog and my perfume kinda sticked to the dog’s fur and my friend was like “omg where is this great smell coming from?!” I think it’s underrated tho (good for us who wear this one, it doesn’t get a common scent)

Yummmy🍍🍬, it smells like delicious pineapple and praline a sweet, tangy, and slightly mellow mix that’s mouthwatering, with citrus, pineapple, and chocolate. You can also detect the freshness of rose. Every time I smell it, it gives me a special burst of energy. Despite being gourmand and sweet, it’s still fresh and lively. Wow, I’m in love with it — I just wish the longevity was better! بوی خوشمزه اناناس و پرالین 🍬🍍 ی ترکیب شیرینو ترشو ملس از مرکبات و اناناسو شکلات ک دهن ادمو اب میندازه تروتازگی رز هم ب مشام میخوره وقتی بوش میکنم ی انرژی خاصی میگیرم ازش در عین گورماند و شیرین بودن خنکو تازست وای ک عاشقشم کاش ماندگاریش بیشتر میبود

oeh oeh oeh !! yes! this is heaven to me :-) Because it got the ingredients wich I love: rose, fruit, pepper, chocolate, amber, patchouli. But I'm not quite sure if it's still nice in summer. It's winter over here and now I really like to wear this. In summer maybe more in the evening. As it is a bit heavy on my light skin. The sillage and power are great. Not to forget that really really beauty of a Bottle! yes ? ( in real it looks much better I think ) I love Givenchy and this is a good one in line. To me, this is a better version of Si form G.A. wich is gone in a sec on my skin.

My Christmas babe. Gift from my honey, this is my first fragrance from Givenchy. I have to say I am amazed. Let's start with a bottle. Lovely, I mean beauty is in simplicity. The perfume itself is also beautiful. From the beginning, the scent is purely fruity. Like fresh pineapple and in the background I feel rose. Later in a few minutes, the perfume picks up another direction. Sweet pralines, in a hug of roses, with a little tropical fruit. I would define it as a sweety, fruity, powdery scent. Long lasting on the skin (and more on the clothes) For gourmet lovers :)

I've had this for YEARS and I've loved it always this was the first truly sweet delicious juicy fragrance I ever loved. lasts a while too and is genuinely for all seasons and all occasions , I can see this fitting in everywhere I've liked this since the day I had it even though my taste is fragrances changes a lot over the years and overtime. the pepper, the fruit and the sweet sweet praline type base this is HEAVENLY yummy yum yum sexy also, very sexy perfume I can see a certain kind of man going mental over smelling this lmao

Got a 50ml bottle when it first came out(summertime I believe) and it didn't last long at all as I loved it so much. It is definitely very sweet, it was like a fancy pina colada on me, even a little bit like some Escada summer editions but some how a bit more sophisticated. I got tons of compliments from women around me, but I don't think it made much of an impression to any men. Would love to get another bottle but there are 3 versions of this now, all really appealing to me and... too many perfumes and too little cash. lol

Uplifting and bright lovely scent!! I don't detect the pineapple per se, but this smells great!! Juicy fruity floral, the floral notes are there from the start, especially the rose, so this isn't like an Escada fruit concoction, this is a rich charming creamy scent! The Amber gives it also a warm aura. Most of the irresistible flankers are nice, but that one rises above the rest!! Fall is almost here and this is the perfect in between seasons perfume!! Utterly pretty and feminine .

I just ordered 2 back up bottles of this and Delicieuse, as I have a feeling that it will be discontinued (if not already, not on the official site). To anyone who doesn't like it-feel free to send me your unloved bottles, as I could bathe in this. It is like all the best memories of my childhood summers bottled. It is one of the very few perfumes that can make me genuinely happy just by smelling it. It is perfect on what feels like one of the first spring days today.

I have never liked any of the Irresistibles - apart from Mes Envies, which i didn't end up buying anyway! This was a surprise! A fruity gourmand, with a rare quality nowadays, that of transforming as hours go by! I love the opening - very refreshing, i love the body - very unusual, and i adore the drydown 12 hours later - gourmand and warm, and somehow stronger than the opening!!! It has a minty vibe that gives it a unique, unisex character!

I tried this a year ago and loved it, instantly.I luv Givenchi's perfumes for their feel good vibe,uplifting,bubbly, energic and tonic qualities. This one i've searched for some time, it is fruity,makes me happy and smells nice.I like that it smells fruity,that it has rose and that it is bubbly,bright tropical and has a fizzy pretty nice smell. This will be my signature scent for now Luv,luv,luv ❤

Love this. There is an explosive fruity tropical burst when I put this on. The intensity dries down quickly to a warmer sweet but still fruity vibe. Gorgeous fragrance. Not sure where the LVEB comparisons come from? That fragrance is sweet, warm and powdery while Live Irresistable is sweet, fruity and sharp (in a good way). Nothing powdery about it.

Sweet, fruity and even tropical scent, but not like teenager way. Very feminine, some warm, maybe powdery notes in a base. It's like an adult woman, who had spring in her chest and who is dreaming about an holiday trip to a sunny, tropical destination. I'm not sure whether it's the right one for me, but surely it's nice floral-fruity fragrance.

Beautiful. So very sweet and "pink" - joyful and lively. A feminine scent fit for a fairy or a princess that makes me think of puppy love. I can only smell rose, pineapple, and vanilla (I get no pepper whatsoever on my skin like others are reporting they do). This is sweet in just the right amount, the sillage and longevity are great. Love it.

It starts off as a sweet, spicy vanilla cookie, because next to the sweet notes there is pepper. Then after 3 hours, it's just a really strong, bothersome pepper without any trace of sweetness left. I would have bought it if the scent didn't change so dramatically after such a short period of time.

This is so much fun to wear! To sum it up, it is fizzy, sweet, fruity and peppery and dries down to a soft amber/musk. There is an incense-like vibe that makes it different than most floral fruity scents I have...quite upbeat actually. Enjoy it while you can as it is a limited edition.

I bought a set of miniature collection from Macy's a few years ago and this one is in that set along with Pure Musc for Her by Narciso Rodriguez. I love them both. Gourmand, sweet and is a beast, longevity wise. This perfume has the right amount of rose note which I like.

Starts sweet, very sweet. Typically sweet scents don't last on me. I also feel too old for these type of scents, as I don't wanna be called the Candy Lady lol. But now while I'm writing about it, I want a bottle for myself lol.

Got this from my mom when she was on holiday in Teneriffa, such a sweet sexy juicy perfume! I get the pineapple and rose, and the yummy base of praline and vanilla, and the longevity is insane, easily 24h+ on my skin!

I'm not a "gourmand" type of person, I don't like vanilla, chocolate, or too fruity notes in perfumes but this one I love it! Perfect balance and not sickening like some.

sweet, fruity and very very pleasant. Like EDP longevity - lasts nearly forever, drydown leave no chemical harshness but clean inoffensive delicacy... like it a lot

I love this perfume. It's fruity sweet spicy perfume, stays on my skin for about 8 hours, it's that kind of perfumes that can elevate my mood, perfect❤❤❤

Sweet, sexy, gourgeousness! And longevity is enormous, 12+ and i could even smell it after a shower!

To me this is simply incense and pineapple turnover cake...really comes to life in cold weather

nice perfume, easy to wear any seasons

I have mixed feelings about Live Irresistible. Initially I didn't like it AT ALL. After five hours it's much better on the skin. So let's break it down: Initially it is extremely sweet, very juicy, very syrupy. Seems untamed. Like a blast of overload sweetness. No proportion at all. Surprisingly all I could detect was berries and cherries, without seeing the notes, and despite seeing them now, I still insist on "my berries and cherries" opinion. Softens just a tiny tip into more creamy fruit. Honestly no praline and no vanilla for me now. Nothing, just vague, full on unstoppable juicy-sweetness. A very potent gourmand, winey, that makes my head spin. A rather shy rose appears too. Then, there is a two hour stage that reminds me intensely of Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss, without the "spilled on the floor plasticky cold wine feel". And successfully I must admit, I've reached the fifth hour of wear, and it holds strong, despite having softened a lot. It is now that pineapple is traceable and prominent and the rose stands out impressively. It even has an old-vibe to it,quite haunting, I'm pretty sure I have smelled something similar on women when I was little; maybe the rose it responsible. Oh it's so nice now! So pretty! Such an interesting combination of notes, unlike any other scent I have. Now, honestly, I don't know if I'm willing to be that patient for a drydown that I really like for five hours. It's a lot. I can be patient for one hour, maximum two, for a non gourmand drydown, but five? I don't know yet. UPDATE: it's the ninth hour of testing and I'm impressed! First of I love inhaling the pineapple rose combo which has no sweetness but doses of retro and secondly it seems absorbed from the skin, sinking; like the opposite of fleeting. How cool it that? Oh I need to find a way to wear it ASAP

Finally I bought a 40ml of givenchy live irresistible in an amazing off in hiva perfume shops for 47$ When I tried it on a paper strip I was shocked and I felt it's very different with what I remembered.I remembered it to be sweeter but on paper it was fresh fruity and sharp which wasn't in love with but I could also detect lovely powdery floral scent,like a combination of rose and iris so I decided to try it on my skin too It stays in fruity phase on paper for a long time but on skin,after a couple of minutes it settles to a pretty floralfruity(mostly rose,pineapple and passion fruit)sweetened by praline,amber and a touch of vanilla It's not among my top favorites but I like it very much and I'm very happy to own this adorable bottle..I have to change my mind about best season for it.I used to think it's inappropriate for summer wear but now I think it's wearable all year round in case it's not too cold or too hot Longevity is 6hours on my skin,tops and sillage is more than moderate but not heavy.it manages to remain light and fresh while being sweet and I think it deserves to be more popular P.s:If you're afraid of fruits like pineapple to turn rotten after some time,don't be.it stays fresh and juicy..also it's rose isn't too strong to turn you off if you're not a rose lover ❤❤❤❤ Edit: Now it's among my top favorites I find this sweet fruity,powdery rose Devine! It's a complement getter and has very satisfying projection and lasting power.I have already used half of my bottle.I will need a bigger bottle for spring and summer and deciding to repurchase a perfume happens for me verrryyy rarely ❤❤❤❤❤

first time I tried it ,I felt like this can be a fruity version of lancome tresor luminious which I also like very much but don't own yet It opens sweet but also tangy with tart fruit notes of pine apple,passion fruit and citruses and a sparkly,very pretty rose and a dash of pepper,it becomes sweeter,warmer and less peppery as time passes and dries down to dominant praline and rose with a melow,sweet fruitchouli although very sweet,it has fresh,juicy vibe because of fruits,also feels clean in a pretty,girly way but still I can't think of wearing it in heat.I love sweet scents,sweeter the better but I prefer to wear really sweet ones in mild to cold weather,this one can be sticky in heat and also I feel fruits espeacially pine apple's scent changes in a bad way,so I'd never wear it in hot summer days,cooler spring and summer nights,also falls(day or night)are better IMHO it's not an original scent but it's deliciosly sweet,flirty,happy and very feminine,it's sweet fruity in a luxurious way,not in a childish body mist way,so I really like it it's bottle is also very pretty longevity and sillage both seem to be very good,I can't tell since I don't own it and can judge after full wears gonna buy it ASAP,however it's pretty expensive.it's more pricey than other givenchys here ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well I do love this, but it's definitely not what I expected. I'm the kind of person I'm either on one end or the other, when I want smoky or spicy, I'm all in, when I want sweet, I look for diabetic, sugar coma inducing ALL sweet. From the reviews I was expecting some serious fruity punch, candy sweet, messy loveliness. When people say "syrupy" I get excited. :) I bought this as a blind buy, first spray, heavy fruit...exactly what I expected. Next second, there's a bite. Not a bad one, it doesn't kill it, it technically I think does make it better, more rounded out. That must be the pepper, it's a very obvious note. I do wonder if this is an issue for anybody, I could see it being too sweet for somebody who loves spice, and a touch too much pepper for somebody looking for heavy sugar. Overall I do love it a lot and can see it being on a regular rotation of use, especially over the summer. But I think the pepper note has been downplayed in other reviews quite a bit, and the rose overplayed (I smell literally no rose) Sillage is decent, not too overwhelming but definitely not a skin scent at all. Longevity I'm VERY pleased with, this has to be one of the first times a perfume has lasted half a day on me.

im on the fence about this one. on me is smells like flowerbomb (or any other very sweet fragrance) with loads of amber and some tart sharp aftertaste (the pineapple probably). i kind of like the amber but the sharp pineapple really turns it off for me. also the sweetness is so generic that i dont find it really worth the buy. i think its suitable for day or night. i dont think anyone should wear it to work as on me i smelled like i sprayed myself 10 times instead of once. the drydown is good though so if you can spray it on yourself and not go to work for a few hours until it settles then you are fine. if you dont own flowerbomb, lveb, or anything like that and are looking for a more summer sweet fragrance then this may be for you. my husband liked it but it did not wow him.

Well, this one! This one....is all about the base, bout the base, bout the base. ☺ The opening and heart is a bit too sweet, too bubbly, too fruity for me. Superficial if you will. Pineapple and vanilla. No rose, no mandarine. There are some vignettes that you could call interesting or inviting but in all honesty - it's just a bit boring and harsh. Fills the market with yet another sweet synthetic fruitchouli which is almost embarassing to wear in public. But the base! The base... That's a whole different story - deep, on the drier side, slightly spicy, sssssmooooth.. amber, vanilla, something-something and chocolate. Quite attractive. So... I'll survive through my 50 ml bottle to smell the drydown, but not going to replace. Ever!

I'm in agreement with blake.lee (below, 8May16) about the cinnamon note. It gives this fruity, summer fragrance an interesting, intriguing character, and should definitely be listed in the note-pyramid. Also, like the reviewer just below me, I detect notes of frankincense and iso e super... giving 'Live Irresistible' an expectedly mysterious, slightly "woody incense" vibe... reminds me of a certain summer day, so many years ago... where I was walking along the boardwalk of Venice Beach in CA. I was drinking a bottle of a fruity Snapple and people-watching, and stopped to buy some incense from a hippie-dude at a table. Lovely day.

07. September 2015 Yummy, yummy, yummy!!! This is a pineapple that didn't turn into rotten one! Sooo delicious and mouthwatering, i enjoy wearing it very much! I do not smell much rose in here ( at least on my skin not), but just a sweet musky pineapple and a hint of pepper and strong amber note. The whole composition is really irresistible, the bottle is beautiful, projection is good. I am really satisfied with this Givenchy efition and will be getting it for sure. Girly, fun, cheerful an sunny it brings me into a happy mood. Fits well the grey sky and rainy autumn days!!! This can be my new aphrodisiac!!! Good job Givenchy!!

I feel very girly and a bit fun in a snotty way wearing this perfume. The sour pineapple top is a bit off putting, but 30 minutes of skin chemistry melts this fragrance into a buttery praline rose with some sour fruits mingling to cut the sweetness. Like many yves st laurent and givenchy perfumes this has a cold, harsh, almost industrial undertone that gives me a feeling of chemical glamour I find hard to describe. Like being in a hair salon or smelling the inside of a leather hand bag filled with makeup. Excited to add an Irresistible to my collection, I believe I've found the right one to add!

I've got a nose like a bloodhound, and I've worn La Vie Est Belle since its launch. I KNOW La Vie Est Belle - yet if you gave me a test strip of Live Irresistible, I would insist it's La Vie Est Belle. Live Irrésistible's bottle is beautiful, which is the reason I tested it, but it smells so much like La Vie on me, it actually made me mad. I think there's a slight note of pineapple that makes the two formulas different, but the praline-patchouli is so prominent on my skin it's difficult to discern Live from La Vie.

The previous reviewer hit all my points for me. Notes, in theory, sound amazing. On me, the initial spray smells like a roll of LifeSavers! A few minutes after dry down, all that's left is sharp, tangy pineapple which became overwhelming in time. This was ONE wrist spritz! I've tried it twice and am sad to conclude that this is just not the right chemistry for me. Great longevity for those it works well for!

Live Irresistible EDP is a bright, happy, cheerful, sweet perfume. I am wearing this on an 85F day and was concerned that it might be too sweet but, no. While LI is undeniably sweet, it remains bright and happy. Not cloying, nor oppressive. This perfume has great longevity and dries down to a pleasant, comforting, skin scent. LI will be worn all year long when I want a cavity sweet, uplifting fragrance.

First spray is VERY strong spice. If it’s pepper, that makes sense. It’s irritating to my nostrils; I think there’s something sweet and fruity behind the pepper punch, but I can’t smell it long enough to identify it. I’d say after about half an hour it finally mellows out and I get a sweet fruity vanilla, almost cake-like, with the pepper still hiding in the background. Definitely sample this first.

So good. I am thinking of buying it. Kind of weird how I always overlooked this when on my frequent perfume hunts in the stores. I was "forced" to use this tester, my only perfume source, when vacationing in a remote area and waiting for my luggage to arrive. Loved it. Would have never given it a chance otherwise. Sparkly and vibrant. It was my perfume fate...ha!

This surprised me as I thought it would be sweeter. It's actually a really beautiful perfume that's very easy to wear. The rose is very prominent for me, the pineapple making it juicy but not overpowering it. I'm wearing it in winter and the longevity and sillage are low. I might save it for warmer weather so I can get more use out of it.

Very likable pineapple fragrance. Usually pineapple is not a nice note in perfumes, but this one is an exception. This smells exactly like fresh rose and sweet juicy pineapple. Girly, youthful, lovely fragrance. I agree with everyone who considers it to be carefree and charming fragrance.

This is fresh, fruity, pretty, uplifting and girly. I can imagine it being worn by someone young and carefree. I only tested this on a card but I like it enough to want to try it again on my skin to see how it develops and lasts. The tester card I spritzed it on smells so delicious!

This smells like cinnamon candy on me. I don't know why, but for some reason it does. Must be the pepper and pineapple combo? I like it! I don't think it smells at all like La Vie Est Belle because the pineapple is much too strong. It's more like a baby sister to Sultan by Al-Rehab.

Like la vie est belle went on holidays to a tropical island and is now drinking pina coladas on the beach. Sweet and girly enough for day. Strong and sexy enough for night. Great staying power too. I think you could wear this any time of the year. Very versatile. I LOVE this!!!

LVEB and Si - I've smelled them. Petite Robe Noir and Lanvin Me - I had them. To me, this is not at all like any of these. Sure, it's sweet and syrupy like the ones mentioned. But it's also, vibrant, fruity and youthful. It will probably end up in my collection at some point.

I tried this edp in a shop in winter time. Immediately I felt that Christmas was there. This smells so incredibly christmasy! I can smell ginger bread and cookies and spices but in a nice and cozy way. I love it and I will wear it to remind me of the holidays season.

It's sweet. My boyfriend says it smells like "sweeties" and not much else. It's sort of a sticky sweet and childish scent, I think. It's nice, though, entirely pleasant, I do like it, but fades quickly and is too young for me. I wouldn't buy again.

This is indeed a sweet fragrance, easy to wear during the summer. For some reason it gives me a discotheque vibe. When smelling this this I imagine young girls wearing mini skirts, high heels, pink lipstick, glittery nails, etc.
