Where to buy

Ranging from casual chic to aristocratic elegance, Givenchy has created a timeless universe. In 1958, Givenchy entered perfumery with L'Interdit, a fragrance inspired by his friend Audrey Hepburn. In 1980, the house unveiled its eau fraîche, quite naturally titled Eau de Givenchy.

A gaiety worthy of a great house

Every great perfume house has an eau fraîche in its collection. Givenchy, unwilling to deviate from this rule, imagined its own eau, Eau de Givenchy. Before creating this eau fraîche, Hubert de Givenchy wanted a fragrance that evoked gaiety, joie de vivre and youth. This is why Eau de Givenchy is airy, delicate, feminine and charming. In the 1980s, eaux tended to be citrus but rather lemony. The citrus yet very green freshness of Eau de Givenchy brought a breath of modernity to the eaux of the time. The advantage of Eau de Givenchy is that it can be worn anywhere and on any occasion. Fresh and springlike, Eau de Givenchy suits both women and young girls alike. It exudes gaiety, joie de vivre, simply happiness. With Eau de Givenchy, one is assured of starting the day with a dose of optimism.

The fresh and invigorating notes of Eau de Givenchy

Eau de Givenchy is composed of fruity and floral essences. It opens with ultra-fresh, energizing notes of grapefruit accompanied by mandarin and bergamot. The heart is very feminine, with a floral bouquet made up of jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, tuberose and honeysuckle for freshness. The base, whose central element is Mysore sandalwood, provides the foundation of the composition. Eau de Givenchy was formerly presented in the classic bottle. Now, its bottle is slender with transparent angles. Minimalist, it reflects a very understated purity through the color of its juice. Since 2007, Eau de Givenchy has been part of the celebrated Les Mythiques collection. Like the house's other fragrances, Eau de Givenchy is a rare, subtle and sophisticated composition.

In 1980, Givenchy decided to create its eau fraîche. It imagined Eau de Givenchy. Green and citrus, it stood out for its novelty and vivid freshness. Delicate and airy, Eau de Givenchy can be worn in any circumstance, and above all it suits every woman, young and old alike.
