Givenchy Le De Givenchy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1957. Le De Givenchy opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Rosewood, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Givenchy's Le De Givenchy carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Le De Givenchy isn't a showstopper in the modern sense, but this demure, ladylike floral is a classic for a reason. It's an elegant, clean scent, though some find it a bit too old-fashioned or weak. Seek out a vintage bottle for the full, complex experience.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its gentle sillage and classic composition make it highly suitable for office wear, often described as 'work safe' and 'ladylike.' While elegant enough for formal events, it might lack the 'showstopper' quality expected of some modern fragrances, and its delicate nature means it gets lost in casual or sporty settings.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with an intriguing herbal and fresh aromatic burst of tarragon and coriander, lifted by bright mandarin and bergamot. This quickly transitions into a soft, powdery heart of diverse florals - ylang-ylang, rose, lilac, and iris offer a delicate, nuanced bouquet. The drydown provides a woody, musky embrace of sandalwood, oakmoss, and amber, grounding the floral lightness with sophisticated depth.
