Organza, a breathtaking beauty by Givenchy, a fashion house created by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952. Little by little, the house branched out into other fields such as leather goods, jewelry and perfumes.
Released in 1996, Organza is a true ode to femininity. Between sensuality and classicism, Givenchy presents here an ultra-seductive fragrance. The Organza woman is defined as the goddess hidden within every woman. While the fragrance is predominantly floral, it remains a fragrance of character. Timeless, Organza embodies feminine beauty in an enduring way. A fragrance signed Sophie Labbé.
Sophie Labbé's vision of the Organza woman
Unlike many perfumers, Sophie Labbé was not born in Grasse but in Charente. From her childhood, she retains memories of woods, dry herbs and oakmoss. After joining the prestigious Versailles perfumery school IPISCA, Sophie Labbé was hired by IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances). Sophie Labbé is described as a highly sensitive woman, a relentless worker and above all passionate. Rational and romantic, Sophie Labbé loves working with flowers. This is why she puts into her creations not only all her talent but also all her emotions. Predominantly floral, Organza offers oriental touches orchestrated like touches of seduction. With the composition of Organza, one of her first perfumes, Sophie Labbé signs an unprecedented and timeless olfactory piece. Sophie Labbé is also behind other great perfumes, such as Very Irresistible by Givenchy, Premier Jour by Nina Ricci and Eau des Jardins by Clarins.
The ultra-seductive bouquet of flowers in Givenchy Organza
It should be noted that organza is a fabric, a cotton chiffon. Traditionally made from silk threads, organza is a very delicate and light material. It is generally used to make evening gowns. If Givenchy chose this name for its perfume, it is because it represents delicacy and feminine beauty.
Organza opens with fresh but also very green notes, namely those of honeysuckle and sap. The heart is ultra-feminine and floral, combining gardenia, orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine. This wonderful bouquet of white flowers pairs with the exoticism of ylang-ylang as well as a spicy tone that gives it strength and character, that of nutmeg. Gardenia is also called Cape jasmine. Gardenia flowers are pure white and highly fragrant. In the language of flowers, gardenia represents unspoken love, its shy side. In perfumery, gardenia gives off ultra-floral, powerful and above all very feminine tones. Finally, the base is at once warm, woody, amber and utterly sensual. Indeed, it combines vanilla, guaiac wood, sandalwood and amber. The bottle is a sculpture, that of an Egyptian woman, set within a glass column as if to further enhance her beauty. Here, one thing is certain: the house of Givenchy left nothing undone in creating one of the most feminine perfumes.
