Chypre Caresse
Fragrance: Crystalline
lemon flesh, jasmine dew, green accent of angelica and patchouli. Top notes are subtle and fresh with base note
revealing a deep woody character.
It is
the interpretation of a delicate pink Haute Couture gown with flowing diaphanous pleats, fine
embroidery and evanescent feathers.
Cocktail: Gin, jasmine, lemon citrus and subtle yet rich
notes of honey. If you're wondering about the button on the napkin - this is the fragrance testing button.
Bois Martial
Fragrance: Inspired by structured, architectural cuts and
a minimalist and sometimes androgynous style, this fragrance uses a wood seldom
used in perfumery: creamy coconut wood.
Top and heart notes are creamy and sweet with coconut wood and pineapple sage before it submits to the intense minimalistic dry down of cedar wood
Cocktail: Jamaican rum, pineapple and sage leaves.
Ylang Austral
Fragrance: Inspired by structural precision with freely
chosen materials, Exotic, chic and
radical scent of luxurious woody floral warmth.
It starts with a classic
fruity green mandarin leaves, moving to the heart: ylang ylang and then envelopes the senses in a woody base of
sandalwood
Cocktail: Rum, sour apple sherbert, orange, curacao and mandarin oils.
Ambre Tigre
Fragrance: It evokes the magnetic sensuality of Givenchy
Couture fur, leather and animal prints
with amber whilst the vanilla and cistus labdanum softens the fervour to show
this intoxicating feline can be a pussy cat (when she wants to be) and purr!
Cocktail: Rye American vodka, Dutch honey whisky and English amber beer
Neroli Originel
Fragrance: Inspired by the elegant taffeta ball gown worn by Givenchy’s first muse Audrey
Hepburn starting with the powdery kiss of Tunisian neroli, the elegant caress
of iris which is then enveloped with the
rich smoothness of musk-vanilla.
Cocktail: Cognac, vanilla, lemon and essential oils from bitter orange.
Cuir Blanc
Fragrance: Inspired by leather gloves, the original profession
of the Givenchy House and the ancestral embodiment of French luxury, notes include white leather, white pepper and white musk
Cocktail: Martini with Siberian pine needle extract,.
Oud Flamboyant
Fragrance: With an oriental and mysterious spirit, this fragrance represents precious sparkling embroidery and golden brown fabrics on an Haute Couture
gown. The oriental Oud gives the fragrance its dazzling heart blended with
labdanum ciste and smoky aroma of
leather for truly magical evening fragrance.
Cocktail: Japanese whisky and mandarin juice
