Extravagance d'Amarige

by Michel Girard

Givenchy Extravagance d'Amarige is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Michel Girard. Extravagance d'Amarige opens with Violet Leaf, Marigold, Nettle, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Wisteria, and Strawberry, and dries down to a base of Iris, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Amber. Givenchy's Extravagance d'Amarige carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This isn't your average flanker. Extravagance d'Amarige is a vibrant, green-floral powerhouse that stands alone. While some find its boldness a bit much, devotees praise its unique, sparkling charm and impressive staying power. A true 90s icon, tragically discontinued.

Its fresh, green, and uplifting character makes it versatile for casual and daytime wear, with a noticeable presence that could be a bit strong for very formal or intensely sporty settings. The enduring sillage mentioned in reviews suggests it's not a 'skin scent', making it suitable for occasions where you want to be noticed without being overwhelming.

About

Opens with a distinctive green punch, courtesy of nettle, violet leaf, and marigold, brightened by zesty mandarin and a hint of pink pepper. The heart softens with a sweet bouquet of jasmine, orange blossom, and wisteria, subtly underpinned by wild strawberry. The drydown settles into an elegant base of iris, warming sandalwood, cedar, and amber, retaining a clean, natural feel throughout.
