Beginnings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The backstory: Founded by Hubert de Givenchy<\/strong> in 1952, the house soon dressed everyone from Jackie O to Grace Kelly to Sophia Loren (basically, if photographers were climbing over each other to take photos of her, Givenchy dressed her). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Few could forget a heavily-pregnant Kim K’s arriving at the 2013 Met Gala in custom Givenchy, or modern-day princess Meghan Markle marrying her Prince wearing a custom wedding gown, complete with a 16-foot veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, the house’s Creative Director is Sarah Burton<\/strong>\u2014the British designer who inherited Alexander McQueen<\/strong>‘s kingdom. Fun fact: in the late 90s Alexander McQueen also spent several years as Head Designer<\/a> at none other than\u2026 Givenchy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burton’s Givenchy still owns the red carpet\u2014from Ariana Grande’s entire Wicked wardrobe to those architectural Bad Bunny fits that never fail to break the internet. When celebrities want to make fashion headlines (not just look nice), they call Givenchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact is, haute couture costs more than your car. But perfume? That’s where high-end designers bottle up everything they believe in\u2014and price it for people with normal bank accounts. Same obsession with getting it right, same creative DNA, no trust-fund required. Though getting your hands on it won\u2019t stop you scrolling runway photos on InStyle (trust us on this one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Givenchy\u2019s first perfume was L\u2019Interdit<\/strong>\u2014secretly created in 1954 just for Audrey Hepburn. When Hubert de Givenchy wanted to sell it to the public in 1957, Hepburn literally told him “I forbid you”\u2014which gave the perfume its name (L’Interdit = “the forbidden”). She eventually came around, because of course she did\u2014even Audrey Hepburn understood gatekeeping luxury is boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Givenchy Perfume<\/a>\u2019s olfactologist Fran\u00e7oise Donche<\/a> describes L\u2019Interdit as “passionate seduction” with “mischievous top notes” and “burning spice.” So to be clear—this was definitely not your grandmother’s demure floral, proven by the fact it was one of Freddie Mercury\u2019s favorite perfumes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And now, two new Givenchy perfumes<\/strong>\u2014Irresistible<\/strong> and Gentleman Society<\/strong>\u2014have just landed at Scentbird<\/a>. As always, no front row seat required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like Givenchy’s Very Irresistible before it, Irresistible<\/strong> centers on a soft, romantic rose. Sweet pear and ambrette float on top, blonde woods anchor it below. It’s not complicated: people just love wearing this. Day, night, whenever, it gets noticed and admired. Sweet and innocent without being cloying, fresh and feminine without being basic. Let’s be honest – this one is catnip for compliments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scentbird reviewers<\/a> said \u201clike walking into a field of roses\u201d, \u201cthe scent notes give expensive\u201d, and best of all, \u201cit reminds me of being in high school, full of youth and anticipation. It’s one for feeling fun, flirty, and confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Givenchy Perfumes<\/strong>\u2019 Gentleman Society<\/strong> opens with spicy cardamom, goes to a heart of narcissus and rich, complex vetiver, then settles into vanilla and woods. Above all, this one reads as confident\u2014works for day, works for night, basically always works.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCurrent Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
