Eau de Givenchy is the eau de toilette Givenchy reissued in 2018, in a new version signed by François Demachy, thirty-eight years after the 1980 original. Five citrus notes open, bitter almond, orange blossom and neroli form the heart, over a musky base, in a cylindrical bottle with pale green juice.

The new version opens on bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, orange and mandarin; bitter almond, orange blossom and neroli form the heart, over a base of musks.

Mediterranean citrus

The press sees Mediterranean aromas in it: five citrus notes open the fragrance, from bergamot zest to the orange-tree leaves of petitgrain.

Orange blossom and almond

Orange blossom and neroli, drawn from the same tree, bring the floral note; bitter almond softens it.

A base of musks

White musks extend the freshness of the citrus with a soft, clean note.

What the label declares

The label opens with alcohol, fragrance and water. Next come linalool, limonene, a UV filter, methyl anthranilate, with orange-blossom tones, hydroxycitronellal, geraniol and citronellol.

A second UV filter, an emollient, BHT, citral, farnesol, vitamin E and two colourants, a yellow and a violet, complete the list.
