My Givenchy

best fragrance i've had so far. very clean, smells wonderful!!!

Once upon a time I threw my beloved XS Pour Elle into trash by mistake and became scentless, so my mother gave me this as a present. Oh, I liked it so much! It was artificial and powdered watermelon on me. And it was so great outside. Such a sweet thing. Whenever the memories come back, I feel warm inside. I was very fond of this scent.

I am a Givenchy die hard fan, and very rarely I don't appreciate their fragrances. But even being totally objective (if that's possible), I have to say that this is probably one of the nicest fragrances out there. Like all Givenchy scents this one is very elegant. The colourful bottle already suggests what we can find inside... The fruity notes are rich and juicy, sweet and energising. Flower notes are delicate and pleasantly soft. The base notes add just a bit of sharpness to it, so that the scent does not fall into infinite sweetness. I'm normally not a huge fan of vetiver, specially in the dry down, but here is does not take over and is not as strong as in many other fragrances. Combination of all these is charming, captivating, I felt as if I was sitting in a garden full of blooming flowers and ripping fruit. It is very much a summer fragrance, too light for winter. Unfortunately it came out as a limited edition and nowadays is very hard to find in my country...

A very unique fragrance. The orange/citrus notes are present, but I mostly smell a very strong menthol, perhaps a eucalyptus note, which subsides during wear, but is still detectable. I assume this is the sharp vetiver note referred to by one of the previous reviewers. I personally have never smelled a vetiver like this. I sense some watery notes, perhaps an ozonic note? Very fresh and exhilarating. Not my regular type of scent, but I like it.
