Givenchy Givenchy Play Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Émilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac. Givenchy Play Intense opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Amyris, Pink Pepper, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Givenchy's Givenchy Play Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a coffee-led wear.

Givenchy Play Intense is a cult classic that vanished too soon, leaving a trail of devoted fans and a fierce aftermarket for this coffee and tonka masterpiece. It's truly a love-it-or-mourn-it scent.

About

Opens with a fleeting citrus zing, quickly moving into a rich heart of creamy coffee and warming pink pepper, balanced by the balsamic woody tones of amyris. The dry down is a seductive embrace of tonka bean, earthy patchouli, and smoky vetiver, wrapping you in deep, sweet warmth that lingers for ages. It's a delectable Gourmand with a sophisticated grown-up edge.
