and class, not to mention elegance, then consider Givenchy perfumes as your
next perfume purchase. Givenchy fragrances have the taste and timeless essence
that every perfume should hold.
Givenchy's First Fragrance: L'Interdit
Inspired by Audrey Hepburn
Givenchy house was founded in 1952 by designer Hubert
de Givenchy, and five years later, in 1957, the legend of L'Interdit was
born. Its
name means «forbidden». Legend has it this scent was created especially
for
Audrey Hepburn, and was worn exclusively by Hepburn for several years
before
Givenchy released it to the public. It is easy to see why Audrey Hepburn
would
have fallen for the scent -
its combination of flowers,
fruit, and spices, anchored by a musky and resinous base, sits on the
skin like
a dream, and never hits a false note from start to finish.
Givenchy's Second Fragrance:
Le De Inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy
Le De by Givenchy is a woody floral musk fragrance for
women, created also in 1957 for a very select group of people, the
haute-couture clientele and friends of Hubert de Givenchy, and
Jacqueline
Kennedy in particular. The fragrance has the clarity and purity of a
fountain
of youth cascading with crystalline floral water, only emitting the
loveliest
of murmur in the middle of a glade in a delicate green forest.
Alternatively it
makes one feel as if one were walking on a ground strewn with petals of
blossoms before arriving at the gates of Paradise. The strange thing is
that
one does not usually think of gardens of paradise. One nevertheless
stops there
to inhale some of the effluvia that waft out through its iron gates
before
stepping in.
Le De is all refinement, poise, subtlety and purity. It
offers a sense of purity that is indivisible from a moral feeling, not
just an
aesthetic one. More than with any other group of perfumes we can
remember of,
it makes one apprehend perfume as a moral object, a statement of
intention
about the devising of a better world through belief in elegance,
refinement and
the good. The Givenchy perfumes offer themselves as ideal forms that
will help
shape the world, as exempla of perfecting conduct, as glaring objects of
purity.
Le De, named after the particle of nobility in Hubert
de Givenchy's name is a masterpiece of balance and subtlety and stands
as the
very embodiment of Givenchy's sense of elegance, both moral and
aesthetic. It
is an ideal scent for those who seek subtlety. It offers also a virginal
aspect
that would make it a beautiful wedding perfume.
Men's Fragrances by Givenchy
Initially, Hubert de Givenchy had no intention to
create scents for men, but in the late 1950's he nevertheless decided to
try
and launched Monsieur de Givenchy and Vetyver for men, perfumes that
exuded a
sense of elegance and sophistication to go along with masculinity.
Later in 1975, Givenchy ‘Gentleman' was
released and Xeryus in the 1980's and Pi in the 1990's. In more recent
times, Givenchy
Pour Homme, Very Irrestible Givenchy for Men and Givenchy Blue Label, a
«relaxed»
version of Givenchy pour Homme, a fresh, dynamic scent intended for the
active
man, have all been released, continuing the tradition of Givenchy
perfume.
