Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Eau Florale

Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Eau Florale is a light, fruity floral that Givenchy released in 2012. Floral is the word everyone uses for it, most also find it sweet, and about a third describe it as woody, musky, fresh or citrusy.

Pear gives it a soft, juicy sweetness that sits at the centre of the fragrance and explains the gourmand impression, while grapefruit and pink grapefruit add a tart, sparkling bitterness that keeps the fruit from becoming syrupy. The flowers are jasmine and water jasmine, airy and dewy rather than heavy, together with hamanasu, the Japanese rose, which has a fresh, slightly fruity rose character. Woody notes give the composition a little structure and dryness, and musk closes it with a clean, soft, skin-like warmth.

It is a feminine scent in a cheerful, uncomplicated register, well suited to daytime and warm weather, and to anyone who likes fruity florals with a sharp citrus edge rather than a sweet, creamy one.
