Givenchy Insense Ultramarine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1994, created by Christian Mathieu. Insense Ultramarine opens with Bergamot, Galbanum, Watermelon, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Iris, Magnolia, Lily Of The Valley, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tobacco. Givenchy's Insense Ultramarine carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Givenchy's Insense Ultramarine: a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Many hail it as a unique, timeless masterpiece, a summertime beast that conjures vivid images of pristine beaches and sun-kissed skin. Others find it to be a chemical mess, a synthetic headache in a bottle. This isn't a safe blind buy, so sample it first and decide which camp you belong to.

About

It kicks off with a spirited, somewhat tart burst of blackcurrant and watermelon, quickly joined by the herbaceous bite of galbanum. The heart unfolds into a clean, almost powdery floral bouquet of iris and lily of the valley, underscored by a fresh hint of mint. As it settles, an aquatic essence emerges, marrying with subtle cedar and a whisper of tobacco, creating a distinctive, almost salty marine dry-down.
