Irrésistible
Givenchy (2020)

This does have a little bit of that generic designer- dime a dozen- essence to it that many of us are familiar with. It can kind of remind me of La Vie Est Belle, and Sì, and probably a few others too. But despite this, when I wear it, both myself and those around me get these magical wafts that catch us off guard. It’s almost impossible to resist saying “ooohhh”. And it’s not constant, so it’s not annoying or exhausting.

Beyond all of that, I would say that this smells like a candied pear with rose petals. Pink ones. It has a brightness to it that goes well with the sugary sweetness. And the Iris and musk give it a bit of that powdery clean freshness , but I wouldn’t say this one smells like a soap or shampoo. It has seasonal versatility, but does feel a little more suited to be a daytime scent to me. It gives “pretty girl” vibes for sure. And someone who is fashionable, but not too trendy or edgy.

A very nice floral gourmand. More floral than gourmand so not too cloying. Very feminine projection. Good performances.
