Givenchy Electric Rose is a pretty, if somewhat bland, flanker with serious longevity issues. It promises an 'electric' punch but delivers a fleeting, albeit pleasant, floral-fruity whisper. Expect a green, fresh rose that unfortunately doesn't stick around.

A budget take on Burberry's Weekend for Women, keeping the hyacinth-forward floral character intact. The grassy top notes and purple-flower heart are simplified here and the sandalwood drydown arrives faster than the original's slow two-hour build, trading some of the original's old-fashioned patience for a more immediate, if flatter, floral.
