Pi Fraiche

by Alberto Morillas

Givenchy Pi Fraiche is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001, created by Alberto Morillas. Pi Fraiche opens with Sage, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Pine, and Woody, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Amber, and Benzoin. Givenchy's Pi Fraiche carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A cult classic discontinued too soon, Pi Fraiche is a fresher take on the original that still delivers the sweet, ambery warmth fans adore. It's a crowd-pleaser that defies its 'fraiche' label with surprising complexity and performance.

Its excellent longevity and strong sillage, along with its sweet, amber-heavy profile, make it better suited for evening and cooler weather occasions. While 'fraiche' implies versatility, many reviewers stress it's still quite sweet and potent, reserving it for special events rather than daily casual wear or the office.

About

Opens with a lively burst of citrus from bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, sharpened by aromatic sage. This zingy start quickly mellows into a heart of green pine needles and delicate jasmine, underscored by woody notes. The real magic unfolds in the drydown, a rich, balsamic embrace of creamy sandalwood, golden amber, and sweet benzoin, reportedly smelling like vanilla ice cream.
