Givenchy Insence Ultramarine Hawaii is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Christophe Raynaud. Insence Ultramarine Hawaii opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Floral Notes, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Sandalwood. Givenchy's Insence Ultramarine Hawaii carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a pretty safe bet if you're into fresh, aquatic scents, though some reckon the original is better. It's a nice, inoffensive summer fragrance that's surprisingly divisive given how pleasant it smells.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - summer and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, aquatic nature makes it perfect for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, with reviewers highlighting its 'exotic summer feeling'. While suitable for a relaxed date or sporty activities, its gentle projection and citrus-marine profile might be too informal for serious office or formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Insence Ultramarine Hawaii opens with a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, softened by aromatic lavender, conjuring images of warm, sun-drenched coastlines. The heart unfolds into a cool, refreshing marine accord, mingling with delicate florals that evoke a gentle sea breeze. As it settles, a soft woody base emerges, grounding the aquatic freshness with creamy sandalwood and a hint of amber, leaving a subtle, lingering warmth.
