Givenchy La Collection Particulière

Is there a fragrance house you’d rather keep as your own small secret? One you don’t particularly want to tell everyone about.

I have one. Givenchy La Collection Particulière.

In France, an hôtel particulier is a private townhouse belonging to the aristocracy. Hubert de Givenchy lived in exactly such a house, receiving artists, actors, writers and friends. The atmosphere of that house became the foundation of this collection.

Givenchy made the human being the protagonist. Each fragrance is a particular character.

Garçon Manqué — the tomboy.
Noctambule — the creature of the night.
Enflammé — the ardent one.
Oiseau Rare — the rare bird.
L’Enfant Terrible — the incorrigible rebel.
Cœur Fou — the reckless heart.

Want to try on a new character? Then Désobéissant is for the unruly, Trouble Fête for those who enjoy breaking the rules, and Faux Semblant for the enigmatic and many-sided.

What unites all of them is the signature Givenchy hand — the contrast between floral notes and a noble woody base.
