Givenchy Insense Ultramarine Sport is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Insense Ultramarine Sport opens with Fruity Notes and Mint, settles into a heart of Lavender, Pepper, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Givenchy's Insense Ultramarine Sport carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Givenchy's 2005 Insense Ultramarine Sport comes across as confused and uninspired. It attempts to fuse fruity freshness with a woody-spicy base but ultimately falls flat, offering little beyond a generic aquatic-sport scent that just exists.

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:
Spring

Its fresh spicy, woody and fruity composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its fresh-spicy and aromatic accords lean towards casual and sport settings, being light enough not to offend. However, the generic nature and lack of depth limit its suitability for more formal or intimate occasions.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Insense Ultramarine Sport opens with a vague fruity sweetness, quickly joined by an odd combination of herbaceous lavender and a hint of mint. It’s fresh-ish, but muddied by a dusty nutmeg. The mid-phase leans into a somewhat generic woody accord, underpinned by a faint musk and pepper, leading to a largely forgettable dry down. It struggles to find a cohesive identity, sitting awkwardly between an aquatic and a woody-spicy fragrance.
