Launched in September 1999, Organza Indecence emerged as a captivating flanker to Givenchy's beloved 1996 fragrance, Organza. The name “Organza Indecence” suggests a duality that intertwines elegance and allure. The term "organza" refers to a fine, translucent fabric, often used in formal attire, evoking images of delicate beauty and sophistication.

Pronounced as "or-GAN-zah in-DES-ense," this intriguing combination conjures feelings of elegance, mystery, and a playful yet daring spirit.

During the late 1990s, women were increasingly embracing fragrances that celebrated both femininity and boldness. The era was marked by a desire for scents that conveyed confidence and sophistication, resonating with a generation that was redefining traditional notions of femininity. Organza Indecence encapsulated this spirit, inviting women to explore their more daring sides while still maintaining an air of grace.
