Very Irresistible Summer Sorbet

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 Star Anise, Rose, Violet, and Lemon Verbena, 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'.

Its moderate projection and fresh, floral-fruity profile make it suitable for casual wear and daytime dates, especially in warmer weather. It's likely too light and understated for formal events, and just pleasant enough for the office if applied sparingly.

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.
