III

by Raymond Chaillan , Jean-François Latty

Givenchy III is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1970, created by Raymond Chaillan and Jean-François Latty. III opens with Peach, Aldehydes, Gardenia, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Coconut, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Givenchy's III carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Givenchy III is a true masterpiece from the 70s, a sophisticated green chypre that's adored by many for its timeless elegance, though some find its vintage character challenging. A classic for those who appreciate old-school refinement, but be warned, modern palates might need an adjustment.

About

Givenchy III opens with a sharp, aldehydic burst, underpinned by green galbanum and a touch of ripe peach. This invigorating start mellows into a heart of luxurious florals like rose, jasmine, and hyacinth, lending a nuanced softness. The dry down is a rich tapestry of earthy oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli, with a creamy hint of sandalwood and amber, creating a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers beautifully.
