Oiseau Rare

I’m surprised there isn’t more reviews on this gem! I love the de Givenchy line I feel it’s so underrated! This is a gorgeous white floral scent. Reminiscent of jasmine and tuberose. It’s creamy and spicy due to the Sri Lankan Pepper. This smells like money. It’s so different than anything I have ever smelled. This is a gorgeous spicy white floral scent the dry down is woody and vanilla, also I smell ambrox. Also great when paired with the de Givenchy Accord Particular. I definitely recommend checking it out. Great as a signature for all seasons and occasions!

Natural smelling sweet watery white flower...One of the best from this all too artificial line. *The store notes say it's about pittosporum & Virginia cedar

The black pepper really comes through in this, it smells like a delicate, lux pepper. I quite like it, but I liked it more on the teststrip than on my skin. It's a bit too... savory for my liking. A fun gourmand though!

I tried it on a Givenchy masterclass, and I loved it. You can get bitter orange and white florals from the first spray. It reminded me of the now discontinued Miss Dior Cherie L'eau (2007). However, I applied a big amount right after the masterclass, and an hour later I could barely even smell it on my skin. I don't think it's worth such a hefty price provided its poor longevity. Such a bummer!

Overpriced while floral’s fragrance Smells like jasmine Not my style Not my taste I didn’t like it or enjoy it A pass and never looking back

I am having a bit of a thing for Givenchy fragrances. Several years ago I bought Irresistible in Paris...and I loved it then and love it now. Recently, I got a large bottle of Desinvolte, and it might be one of my favorite perfumes. I bought Oiseau Rare at a Duty Free shop. I think it has the most wonderful floral with a touch of spice scent. I don't really know what pittosporum smells like but I'm getting more than a hint of jasmine and rose. It's elegant and not too sweet. I'd definitely buy again.

A very well-balanced, appealing perfume; unlike with a lot of floral-spicy fragrances, you do not have to wait for the fresh, peppery notes to come through. They appear immediately alongside the floral, counterbalancing the sweet botanicals with a lively, fresh cover of pepper. Smells pleasant and natural. That said, it's much too expensive, and in my opinion not paying £200+ for.

Smells like a blend of Memo Argentina and Memo Flam -- a mildly spicy floral (think rose + jasmine). Well made, pleasant smelling but potentially redundant if you the two aforementioned Memos are already in your collection. Leans feminine but guys can wear it without being emasculated (I would).

Natural fresh green scent that is almost medicinal. It has a bit of spice from the pepper but is incredibly heavy with the florals. Reminds me of Gucci Bloom/ The Alchemist’s Garden 1921. Vintage girlies will love this but it’s not really worth the price.

I don't like watery notes and powdery sweet white floral. They are usually nauseous to me. This perfume has both but okay for me. a fresh and sweet, clean powdery white floral scent, diffusive and strong.

The perfumer is Olivier Cresp.
