Givenchy Gaiac Mystique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Irène Farmachidi. Gaiac Mystique opens with Iris, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean and Incense. Givenchy's Gaiac Mystique carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A divisive scent where some find it a sophisticated, creamy iris-wood dream, others are let down by its sweetness and lack of impact. Best sampled before committing to a full bottle, especially if you're not keen on sweet powdery accords or liquorice notes.

About

Gaiac Mystique opens with a soft, powdery iris, almost immediately blending into the creamy, distinctive warmth of guaiac wood. As it evolves, the comforting sweetness of tonka bean emerges, wrapped in a subtle, smoky veil of incense. It's a gentle, ethereal woody-amber scent with a refined, soft-focus feel, like being enveloped in luxurious cashmere.
