Givenchy Monsieur de Givenchy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1959, created by Francis Fabron. Monsieur de Givenchy opens with Lemon, Carnation, Pepper, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Lavender and Lemon Verbena, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Givenchy's Monsieur de Givenchy carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This isn't for the lads who love their vanilla bombs; Monsieur de Givenchy is a divisive legend for proper gentlemen. It's truly a timeless classic for those who appreciate old-school sophistication, but beware of the fickle performance of newer formulations.

About

Monsieur de Givenchy opens with a bright, crisp burst of lemon, sharpened by a touch of pepper and the unique spice of carnation. As it settles, fresh lavender and invigorating lemon verbena emerge, creating a clean, aromatic heart. The dry down is a refined blend of earthy oakmoss, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle, warm musk, perfecting this elegant, classically masculine journey.
