Very Irrésistible Edt Spray 75ml

Givenchy Very Irrésistible is a rose fragrance that spends most of its length pretending not to be one. Cassia and star anise open it, warm and faintly liquorice-like, with lemon verbena cutting across them so the spice never gets heavy. It is an unusual opening for a women's fragrance and it buys the composition a lot of character before the flowers arrive. Rose, peony and magnolia make up the heart, bright and quite green. Then the base reveals what the fragrance is actually about: Taif rose, the Saudi variety, which is denser and more honeyed than the rose in the middle, sitting on musk, vanilla and patchouli. The move from a light rose to a serious one is the whole trick here. How Very Irrésistible wears It lasts well and projects strongly, so it announces itself more than most eaux de toilette. It suits evenings and cooler weather, and one application is generally enough. Givenchy Very Irrésistible Eau de Toilette, 75ml, created by Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion and Sophie Labbé in 2003 for Givenchy, the Paris house founded in 1952.
