Givenchy Oblique Rewind is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Nathalie Lorson. Oblique Rewind opens with Bergamot, Pistachio, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Jasmine, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Givenchy's Oblique Rewind carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A bittersweet symphony for many, this discontinued Givenchy gem lives rent-free in the hearts of those craving its unique cherry and honey blend. Prepare for a rich, warm, and somewhat divisive experience.

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.

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.
