Givenchy Organza Eau De Parfum - 100 ml

Product Information

She's strong, not a room filler, but I'm surrounded by a decadent cloud of spicy vanilla and gardenia. After reading the reviews and them both being the top smells like for each other, I'm almost certain I've found it.

Walnut and nutmeg ground this and meld with the florals to create a very warm and comforting feeling. I use nutmeg when preparing meatballs, but I'm not a fan of the smell and taste so I always use it sparingly. The bottle makes you think the perfume will be overwhelming and feminine, but I find this to be actually mild, timeless and dries rather unisex to me. The creamy white florals have various facets: a bit spicy (nutmeg), a tad sweet (vanilla), nutty (walnut), green (green notes), warm and resinous (amber), and woodsy (guaiac).

It smells nice but not what the notes would suggest to me (I was hoping for more nutmeg and mystery. Boudoir has that very prominent tobacco note though that definitely wasn't in the one I've been looking for. The opening doesn't smell too bad, it's less creamy than I remember, and it has a little bit of "sunscreen" added to it (which I can't remember from the past, but I'm a sucker for the smell of sunscreen, so no problem). Perhaps my previous rotations were hostile to Organza but the greens to which it shares kinship with seemed to have uplifted it.

For me it starts with almost a fizz, effervescence with a hint of spice, then the flowers start to grow.I wore it again just a few months ago and was shocked by an overwhelming vanilla sweetness that no longer felt like a shawl but rather, a necktie. It is tied together beautifully by the sweet vanilla note - adding a soft yet rich creamy sweetness that complements the florals beautifully. Curiously however, the two masterworks coming from the same brand inhabited far extremes totally opposite from each other. Organza is a magical mix of classical sensuality, delicacy and warmth, a hymn to eternal beauty possessed by every woman.

That being said, I have been complimented many times on this, in part, I think, because it simply projects and lasts for ages, and it’s pleasant to smell.

I also suspect that the florals project through the vanilla in the silage more than maybe I am aware. Edit: Wearing this 20 year old perfume formula of Organza on this cloudy rainy chilly March day and a tiny drop is nuclear in strength.

Right now she is a very strong like, with the definite potential to become a love as the days and nights grow colder. I got a bottle in 2002 and that's heavenly delicious, then it was discontinued and now is back, so I got a new bottle (same design) and its nothing like the original ones the new one is generic, nothing special last a quite amount of time but is not even close as beautiful as the original one, they killed the formula. In the opening, at first spray I am briefly reminded of Amarige by Givenchy and LouLou by Cacharel due to the kind of Tuberose used, but as it settles the unique qualities start to come out.Its very sweet on my skin, and it does have a headachey note, but luckily it's easy to put just a little dab on the wrists so it's not being overpowering.
