Givenchy Harvest 2008: Amarige Ylang-Ylang is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Harvest 2008: Amarige Ylang-Ylang opens with Petitgrain, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Almond, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes. Givenchy's Harvest 2008: Amarige Ylang-Ylang carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A radiant, multi-layered floral that defies its own billing. Many go in expecting a Ylang-Ylang bomb and come away with a surprisingly fresh, elegant white floral. It's a limited edition that truly deserved a broader release.

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.

About

Opening with a bright, sunny burst of ylang-ylang and delicate neroli, this fragrance quickly unfurls into a lush bouquet. The heart reveals soft mimosa and intoxicating jasmine, creating a sophisticated floral core. A hint of almond adds a creamy sweetness before settling into a warm, grounded woody base that lends a touch of quiet elegance.
