Les Parfums Mythiques - Givenchy III EDT
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
A subtle chypre reborn and surprisingly wearable for a classic. Givenchy III is a beautifully balanced green floral that manages to be both chic and versatile, despite some die-hard fans mourning the original's punch.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its subdued projection and elegant, clean green-floral profile make it ideal for office wear and suitable for casual outings. While refined enough for formal events and dates, its lighter touch might be overshadowed by bolder choices, and it's definitely not for sport.
