Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Eau Florale
Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Eau Florale Eau de Toilette 100ml holds three materials, and the whole point of it is how little is going on.
Lemon opens, bright and clean and gone fairly quickly, and pear takes over almost at once with a soft, juicy sweetness that has none of the sharpness of the citrus. The pair of them make a few minutes of simple fruit.
Then wild rose, which is the reason to wear it. Wild rose is not the dense, jammy garden rose of classical perfumery. It is thinner, greener and fresher, closer to a hedgerow flower than a florist's bunch, and it keeps a slightly dewy quality for as long as it lasts. Laid under lemon and pear it stays transparent rather than turning rich.
A three material scent behaves plainly. There is nothing to wait for and no second act, and anyone expecting a dramatic dry down will be disappointed. What you get instead is something easy, clean and unemphatic that can be worn to an office, in hot weather, or by someone who finds most fragrance too assertive. Eau de toilette strength is the right call for it: light, re applied without ceremony, and never a nuisance to anyone sitting nearby. It also makes a sensible first fragrance, or a safe choice for anyone who reacts badly to strong scent, because there is nothing in it that lingers or imposes. Treat reapplication as part of the pleasure rather than as a failing.
It dates from 2014 and reads feminine. The 100ml bottle makes sense precisely because this is a scent to use generously rather than ration.
Givenchy was founded in Paris in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy and belongs to LVMH, where the fashion house and the fragrance arm operate as separate maisons.
