Givenchy Absolutely Irresistible is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Véronique Nyberg, Anne Flipo, and Dominique Ropion. Absolutely Irresistible opens with Red Berries, Pimiento, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Givenchy's Absolutely Irresistible carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Givenchy Absolutely Irresistible is a divisive, discontinued gem. Some find it a spicy, glamorous femme fatale scent, while others get a cloying mess with poor performance. Worth tracking down if you covet bold, unique florals.

About

Absolutely Irresistible opens with a vibrant, slightly fiery burst of pimiento and red berries, soon softened by a bright mandarin zest. The heart blooms into a rich, sweet white floral bouquet, predominantly jasmine, alongside creamy heliotrope and delicate orange blossom. It dries down to a warm, earthy base of patchouli, smooth cedar, and enveloping amber, giving it a sophisticated finish.
