Givenchy Perfumes
Established by Hubert de Givenchy, born in Beauvais France in 1927. Fashion designer; established House of Givenchy in 1952 at 3 avenue Georges V, Paris and Parfums Givenchy in 1957.
Both Jacques Fath and Elsa Schiaparelli worked for him.
Givenchy became part of the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesey group in 1986. Retired in 1995.
To open the classic Givenchy crystal parfum flacon, use the following tip provided by Parfums Givenchy in 1963:
This bottle has a thick, gripable top. The main thing is to cut off all paper and cord. The top will probably twist off easily - if not, tap lightly.
The perfumes of Givenchy:
Monsieur de Givenchy: Top notes are carnation, cinnamon, pepper and lemon; middle notes are lavender and lemon verbena; base notes are sandalwood, musk and oakmoss.
Givenchy Gentleman: A rich mossy chypre edt. The nose behind this fragrance is Paul Leger. Top notes are honey, cinnamon, bergamot, rose and lemon; middle notes are patchouli, orris root, jasmine and cedar; base notes are leather, amber, patchouli, musk, oakmoss, vanilla and vetiver.
Pi: named after the mathematical number discovered by Archimedes, a woody masculine oriental edt with top notes of tangerine, neroli and nasturtium, heart notes of galbanum, rosemary, basil and tarragon on base notes of pine needles, Guaîac wood, benzoin and vanilla. A limited edition bottle of Pi, "Original Code" was launched in 2005; the bottle features an engraved bronzed veneer.
