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