Givenchy Very Irresistible Givenchy L’Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Dominique Ropion. Very Irresistible Givenchy L’Intense opens with Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Patchouli. Givenchy's Very Irresistible Givenchy L’Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bold-as-brass, dark rose and plum affair. It's got serious staying power and a seductive aura, but some folks find it a bit too much, almost 'bugspray-ish' in the opening. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of intense, so don't blind buy.

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 autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent sillage and longevity make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be overwhelming. However, its dark, sensual accords and 'sexy' aura make it perfect for date nights and formal evening events, often described as a 'night time perfume'.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Very Irresistible L'Intense opens with a rich, boozy plum that’s both sweet and deep, quickly joined by a dark, waxy rose. This floral heart is grounded by a warm, earthy patchouli that adds an almost masculine edge, while a clean musk provides a smooth, sensual finish. The overall effect is a velvety, smoky richness with a hint of dark fruit and an alluring depth.
