Givenchy Oblique Rewind is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Nathalie Lorson.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its rich cherry, honey, and amber notes, and mentions of being a 'hard hitter' for colder months, this scent is best reserved for evenings and special occasions. It's too sweet and potentially suffocating for an office or active daytime wear.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

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 a playful burst of ripe cherry, given a creamy, subtly nutty depth by pistachio. As it settles, a lush, golden honey emerges, interwoven with the soft, woody embrace of cashmere and a hint of intoxicating jasmine. The dry down is a warm, ambery caress, grounding the sweetness with earthy patchouli and rich sandalwood.
