Givenchy Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Benoist Lapouza and Delphine Lebeau. Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud opens with Mandarin, and settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Rose. Givenchy's Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This isn't your usual Arabian oud bomb; it's oud for beginners, dressed up in French elegance. A divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated twist on oriental notes, while others find it a little too soft or even 'mislabelled' for a true oud fanatic. Approach with an open mind and a light hand.

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.

Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for evenings out or formal events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. Reviews suggest it's too potent for easy office wear if oversprayed, but its elegant nature suits a date night perfectly. Not one for the gym.

About

Eaudemoiselle Bois de Oud unfurls with a bright mandarin zest, quickly giving way to a rich heart of velvety rose and creamy orange blossom. The base is where the magic happens, with a polished, approachable oud softened by warm amber and a touch of vanilla, creating a sensual and subtly mysterious oriental floral experience. Olibanum adds a sophisticated, almost inky depth without feeling overly churchy.
