Givenchy Cœur Fou is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Alexandra Monet. Cœur Fou opens with Blackcurrant and Basil, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Oakmoss. Givenchy's Cœur Fou carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A modern homage to the classic chypre, Coeur Fou offers a luminous, fresh rose with an earthy, green twist. It's a love-it-or-find-it-too-familiar kind of scent that struggles with performance in warmer climates.

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
Also Works:
Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and elegant floral-green composition make it suitable for office and formal wear, leaning towards date nights for its romantic quality. However, reviews indicate it doesn't hold up well in heat or during strenuous activity, making it less ideal for casual daytime in summer or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Coeur Fou opens with a bright, airy burst of basil and redcurrant leaf, lending a crisp, green freshness. This invigorating start mellows into a dominant, elegant rose, sheer and uplifting, providing a sensual floral heart. As it settles, a subtle base of oakmoss and patchouli emerges, grounding the composition with a refined earthiness, preventing it from becoming overly transparent. It's a captivating interplay of fresh, floral, and subtly chypre elements.
