How the top picks smell
Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge (Eau de Parfum, 2021) opens with ginger and blood orange and ends on sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver; overall it reads as creamy white flowers, ginger sparkle and peppery warmth. For Givenchy L'Interdit (1957), expect powdery floral and green fruit in soft musk: aldehydes and peach up top, musk, amber and sandalwood underneath. Givenchy Irresistible Givenchy (Eau de Parfum, 2020) comes across as soft pear cream with powdery floral rose, with pear and Ecuadorian ambrette seed absolute at the start and musky notes, blond woods and Virginia cedar at the base.
