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 a Statement verdict, a green-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.

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.

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

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.
