Very Irrésistible

The Very Irrésistible line was born in 2003 with a floral aromatic Eau de Toilette, built on rose and star anise. Givenchy dedicates it to the friendship between Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn, which it sums up as the meeting of French elegance and American spontaneity.

In 2005, Givenchy extended the line with an Eau de Parfum named Very Irrésistible Sensual. Dominique Ropion signed the formula, which keeps the rose and star anise accord of the Eau de Toilette and carries it toward patchouli and vanilla.

The heart of the formula holds an accord named the Liv Tyler rose, after the actress who has embodied the line since 2003. Givenchy said it reflected the beauty, femininity and naturalness of its muse. That year, the line also welcomed a men’s fragrance.

Today’s name

Givenchy now sells the formula under the simple name Very Irrésistible Eau de Parfum. The house describes it as a floral aromatic composed of five high-quality roses, contrasted by star anise and made more sensual by patchouli wood and vanilla.

The house announces a new faceted bottle for an unchanged fragrance. The Eau de Parfum comes lacquered in violet, in 80 ml, while the line’s Eau de Toilette adopts a pink lacquer, a color Givenchy says was dear to its founder.
