Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - GI221 Play For Her Intense EDP
GI221 reproduces the peachy-floral amber heart of Play For Her Intense fairly closely, though the tonka-benzoin base is flatter and less creamy than the original's rich, long-lasting amber drydown.
