Givenchy Very Irresistible Summer Sorbet is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Very Irresistible Summer Sorbet opens with Myrrh and Cranberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Peony, and Star Anise, and dries down to a base of Woody. Givenchy's Very Irresistible Summer Sorbet carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Givenchy's 2009 Summer Sorbet is a divisive one. Some love its mature, powdery rose and violet blend, finding it calmer than the original. Others dismiss it as a generic, childish fruity mess, a rehashing of an already-tired line. You'll either love it or think it's just 'okay'.

About

This scent opens with a surprisingly tart cranberry, quickly transitioning to a dominant floral heart of rose, powdery violet, and delicate peony. A hint of green lemon verbena provides a fresh lift, while star anise adds a subtle, intriguing spice. The dry down settles into a clean, understated woody base, softened by the lingering floral notes.
