Usually Escada seems to have cornered the market on summery, limited edition scents. Givenchy’s certainly giving everyone else a run for their money in that regard. This one’s a must-sniff based on the Star Anise notes alone. Mint and rose is an unexpected combo but it works.
Notes: Star Anise, Mint Leaves, Centifolia Rose, Peony Rose, Fantasia Rose, Passion Rose, Emotion Rose, Verbena Leaf.
Buy Givenchy Very Irresistible Summer Cocktail $52 for 2.5 oz at Sephora.
There is also a men’s version: notes include Star Anise, Mint Leaf, Peppermint, Lavender, Grand Vert Basil, Green Cardamon. I can’t do basil most times but I’m still going to check it out. Sounds positively refreshing!
It is positively refreshing! It is lively and feminine in a spirited sort of way. I love this fragrance. I will forever compare other scents to it, and so i guess u could say it has revolutionized my idea of personal fragrance. Hope it catches on. So that we may have more than just seriousness, overt sexuality and body spray inspired fragrances to choose from!
I like your enthusiasm, Mallory.
