Pros & Cons
- ✅ Oh my. This is a far cry from anything else today. A soft golden hue, particles afloat in a sunbeam... A whisper. The floral accord and hint of citrus gently lift the spices over the sunlit fields of morning.
- ✅ I have a vintage bottle of the pure perfume. ... It's extremely feminine and has a cooler note that hums along nicely in the dry down. ... Very pleasant, beautifully balanced.
- ✅ If memory serves me, this scent was reformulated sometime in the last decade, and the current version, while lovely, makes me yearn for the version I fell in love with in the early 1980s.
- ✅ I LOVE Le De! ... It's manners are just impeccable, like its creator, the consummate gentleman Hubert de Givenchy. ... It is very French, elegant, but not at all stuffy.
- ✅ Le de Givenchy is a classic fragrance from the late 50's, and yet until a week ago I'd never heard of it. ... The fragrance is stylish, sophisticated and unisex.
- ✅ I have a vintage bottle of the pure perfume. ... It's extremely feminine and has a cooler note that hums along nicely in the dry down. ... beautifully balanced, rich and bright, modest and subtle.
- ✅ If memory serves me, this scent was reformulated ... the drydown is very much like the 1980s version of the scent, a dreamy, creamy amber. ... Le De remains the class of the field of Givenchy scents -- rich and radiant, discreet and delicate. And gorgeous.
- ✅ The fragrance is stylish, sophisticated and unisex. ... The notes play well together, nothing jumps out to announce itself. Just what I expect from a house like G, this perfume has class.
- ❌ Eek! Alcohol alert! Soooo green to begin with it gave me a sharp headache right away...then, as I tried to bear with it & understand it, it eventually becomes a herbal bath soak complete with gallons of freshly drawn water.
- ❌ Based on the description and history of this fragrance, I really wanted to like it. ... to me it smells powdery and old fashioned similar to Chanel 5, a fragrance I like on others but not on me. This is one of the few perfumes that gives me a headache.
