Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Play For Her EDP
Givenchy Play For Her is a divisive '00s relic. Some find it a comforting, sophisticated floral-sweet, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. It's often panned as a 'teenager' scent, but with a good dry-down, it can become a subtle, elegant charmer.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Play For Her Intense EDP
Givenchy Play For Her Intense is a divisive one - some find it a unique, creamy, balsamic dream, others a 'meh' mainstream scent. If you want a playful yet grown-up Y2K vibe, this could be your discontinued holy grail.
