Minty, aquatic, and slightly floral, with a sweet and woody dry down. Really amazing in the heat, especially on a hot day when I want something that smells cool. I'd say it fades very quickly though, the minty and aquatic opening doesn't last very long. Middle notes last a while longer, while the base aren't very prominent. A slightly sweet ending to something I wish would last longer. Smells like wearing a crisp white shirt and blue jeans, then getting out of the house early to run errands. Maybe I have a little green Redbull in hand (which is what I was drinking the first time I wore this haha), and the air outside is slightly chilly while the sunlight is stinging.
I was wandering around a department store in Sydney, during June in 2024, a sales lady from Givenchy handed me a sample of this as I walked by, and I'm so grateful I took it that day. Even after I finished the sample, I couldn't stop thinking about this. This has to be one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever smelt in my life. Citrusy, creamy, heady and heavy jasmine, with a base of vetiver. The first I have smelt like it, and I really think it could be a staple in my collection. Smells to me like a woman who has her life together. Very grown up in a way, I imagine a woman who has impeccable taste in professional clothes, lives in a colder place, and has a moody countenance. Someone who wears darker colours; black, maroon, and deep brown, with gold statement jewellery. Heady, intense and prominent. Definitely more of an alluring perfume, not something I'd imagine a teenager or a "clean girl" to wear. In my opinion this is the ultimate "I want to feel put together and mysterious" perfume, my signature this winter hopefully! Very heady, and lasts for agesss. I once put on a spray on my skin, and even after a shower I could still pick it up clearly. I wasn't able to get the smell out of my clothes until a few washes had been done. Three sprays is definitely enough to be able to last all day. Definitely a winter scent, as it has made me feel like I'll pass out in the summer.
Smells exactly like laundry detergent, in an upscaled way. Has a strong citrus face, and smells very clean in a "you just washed your clothes" kind of way. Like you woke up early on a Sunday, showered, wore clean clothes and left the house to catch up on errands. A very "white shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers" kind of perfume. Casual in a way that it smells good while having a facet of not being "perfumey". Others may recognise it as perfume but to many you will just smell like clean, laundered clothes. Perfect for when you want to smell clean but not noticeable.
