Torride

by Christine Nagel

Givenchy Torride is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002, created by Christine Nagel. Torride opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Peach, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Elderflower, and Bamboo, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Givenchy's Torride carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Many found it a unique, fresh citrus with a twist, perfect for summer. Others, however, considered it a 'scrubber', bringing on headaches and nausea with its intense, bitter green notes.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its fresh, citrusy nature leans into casual and sporty situations, especially in hot weather as many reviewers noted. The polarising nature and potential for strong sillage make it less suited for office or formal settings, where it might offend.

About

Imagine a potent hit of bright citrus - lemon and mandarin - softened by a fuzzy, sweet peach. It quickly moves into an unusual heart of slightly bitter elderflower and green bamboo, with a delicate hint of jasmine. The dry down is a warm, tangy sandalwood, adding depth to the initial fruitiness and green edge.
