Givenchy Pi Neo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Antoine Lie and Françoise Donche. Pi Neo opens with Anise, Woody, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Myrtle, Cedar, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Muscone, Patchouli, and Vanillin. Givenchy's Pi Neo carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Givenchy Pi Neo is a divisive beast. Some adore its fresh, modern take on vanilla and woods, finding it sophisticated and unique. Others are quick to brand it generic, weak, and a pale imitation of its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

About

This one blasts off with a bright, zesty mandarin and bergamot, cut with a peculiar, almost metallic anise. The heart settles into a clean, aromatic cedar and myrtle, infused with a hint of warm saffron. The dry down is a mellow, powdery vanilla anchored by an earthy patchouli and musk, lending a creamy, comforting finish that lingers close to the skin.
