Faux Semblant

Givenchy Faux Semblant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Faux Semblant opens with Angelica and Frankincense, and settles into a heart of Amber, Labdanum, Orange Blossom, and Honey. Givenchy's Faux Semblant carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This is a bold, complex beast. Faux Semblant isn't for the faint of heart, blending challenging dirty oud and indolic florals with resinous amber and honey into something truly unique, and utterly divisive. You'll either adore its gothic opulence or find it downright offensive.

Given its strong projection and rich, dark character, Faux Semblant is too assertive for office or casual wear. It shines in formal settings or on an evening date, where its opulent and complex nature can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.

About

Faux Semblant is a deep dive into an amber-woody landscape, opening with the herbal zing of angelica before frankincense casts a mystical, smoky veil. The heart blossoms with a rich labdanum-amber embrace, sweetened by honey and the subtly dirty caress of orange blossom, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. It dries down to a commanding blend of dark oud and warm amber, leaving a luxurious, intriguing trail.
