Our take
What does Irresistible Eau de Toilette Fraîche smell like?
Givenchy spun off an Eau de Toilette Fraîche version of Irresistible in 2021, a year after the original launched. The perfumer was not named. The opening fizzes. Pink pepper adds a peppery bite and sweet orange a bright zest. The heart stays true to the line. It holds a damask rose picked at dawn in the Isparta mountains of Turkey. Here it feels airier. Iris concrete gives it a powdery veil that keeps it from tasting like candy. The base is plain. Virginia cedar adds a sharpened-pencil note and musk a skin-like softness. Nothing heavy and nothing jarring. Next to Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, this Fraîche is more peppery and slightly woodier. It suits anyone who found the eau de parfum too sweet. The rose stays fresh from start to finish.
When to wear it
A spring and summer rose for the office and daytime. Three sprays, topped up in the afternoon.
It belongs to the Floral, Woody, Musky family. Irresistible Eau de Toilette Fraîche is one of 40 creations by Givenchy in our encyclopedia.
