What is Givenchy's most popular perfume?
Givenchy's most popular perfume is L'Interdit, originally created in 1957 for Audrey Hepburn and relaunched in 2018 as a modern Eau de Parfum. According to Givenchy's Wikipedia page, the house has been creating fragrances since the 1950s. At The Parfumes Shop, we also see strong demand for Gentleman Only Intense and Ambre Tigre. Browse our full Givenchy collection.
What does Givenchy L'Interdit smell like?
L'Interdit EDP (2018) opens with orange blossom and bergamot, reveals jasmine, tuberose, and sweet pea, and settles into patchouli, vetiver, and ambroxan. In our testing at The Parfumes Shop, we find it an elegant, confident white floral — refined and modern. For a different Givenchy experience, try Eaudemoiselle Absolu D'Oranger, which offers a sophisticated orange blossom and woody composition.
Is Givenchy Gentleman a good perfume?
Yes, Givenchy Gentleman (2017 EDP) is widely regarded as an excellent fragrance. It opens with pear, cardamom, and lavender, leading to iris and orange blossom, and settling into leather, patchouli, and black vanilla. At The Parfumes Shop, we recommend Gentleman Only Intense for its sophisticated balance of sweetness and darkness. Try it as a 10ml sample.
How long does Givenchy perfume last?
Givenchy fragrances have good longevity, with EDP concentrations typically lasting 6-8 hours. L'Interdit EDP is known for strong projection in the first 2-3 hours. Having tested the Givenchy range at The Parfumes Shop, we find Ambre Tigre has particularly good longevity due to its amber and woody base. Browse the Givenchy collection for samples.
