Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - III Eau de Parfum

Givenchy III is a true masterpiece from the 70s, a sophisticated green chypre that's adored by many for its timeless elegance, though some find its vintage character challenging. A classic for those who appreciate old-school refinement, but be warned, modern palates might need an adjustment.

Our Verdict - Vent Vert Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper cult classic, but be warned: the 1991 reformulation is still a green powerhouse, though some purists might sniff at it compared to the original. It's divisive, sharp, and certainly not for everyone, but if you love a truly 'green' scent, you'll be hooked.

Casual Sport

Also Works:
