Givenchy Blue Label is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Alberto Morillas and Ilias Ermenidis. Blue Label opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender, Pepper, Cardamom, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Frankincense. Givenchy's Blue Label carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Givenchy Blue Label is a divisive freshie with a vocal fanbase, but a significant number of people find it generic, fleeting, or even outright unpleasant. It's safe, but not for everyone, nor will it be particularly memorable.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's generally inoffensive. However, its perceived lack of uniqueness and moderate performance limit its appeal for dates or formal events, where something more distinctive and long-lasting is often preferred.

About

Opens with a brisk, slightly tart burst of grapefruit and bergamot, leaning sharp rather than juicy. The freshness is quickly joined by a peppery kick and the herbal quietude of lavender and artemisia. As it settles, a clean, woody base emerges with vetiver, cedar, and a hint of frankincense providing a cool, understated finish.
