Organza (1996)
by Givenchy

This is a gloriously light and lovely fragrance that smells quite nice on me, but doesn't make me swoon. I like heavier perfumes. Having said that, this is a fragrance that everyone should go and test. It is easily available and often on sale. In general I have found that it suits younger people, up to 35, and those with a fair complexion. Definitely worth a sniff.

This one’s a beauty. Delicate, floral, with a modicum of spice kept discreet. I think the secret of Organza is the base that quietly provides a rich but translucent wood / amber background from the beginning to end: It provides more of a texture rather than an olfactory accord, and this grounds the fragrance in a natural and comfortable ambiance while the remainder of the accords flirt with the elegance of florals and discreet spices. The opening florals – gardenia taking prominence to my nose – are rich and are balanced with touches of bergamot, green, nutmeg, and wood. Nutmeg is a tricky spice to use in a fragrance, and I believe the parsimonious yet adequate use of nutmeg here is an important key to the success of Organza. The heart florals are led by ylang-ylang and Jasmine, to my nose, and continue their full spectrumed exposure in a discreet and elegant way with the assistance of the nutmeg from the top and the vanilla from the base. The base is a beautifully rounded classic vanilla and amber joined with an elegant wood combination. This is a very warm floral that is both ethereal AND grounded.

I ordered it online after seeing all the thumbs-up given to it.
It has just arrived and it's as scrumptious as I'd hoped, I can't stop sniffing myself ... yum yum yum. So fresh and light, not at all overpowering.
I love it!!!

Oh, I get the sandalwood in the drydown too! It is my current favorite -even edging out Rush... Sexy... makes me drool.

one of my all time sexual fav.
this smells like sex to me, just plain seduction in a bottle

This one is to me (the EDP i mean) the female version of Givenchy's own PI (the EDT that is).
We know how it goes like: vanilla cake, amber, jasmine and gardenia. You might encounter also some honeysuckle, ylang, sandalwood, cedar, tuberose and orange blossom, see, the thing is, i think this one was reformulated as well over the years and we now get only gardenia, jasmine and vanilla, according to Givenchy. This is a wonderful gourmand, creamy, elegant and not crazy sweet(or spicy) like its sister O.Indécence or lightlike the very bland, lame O.First light.
cheers!
