Basenotes says...

This has one of the best bottles ever, It's called 'Pi' after the mathematical figure which represents the number you get if you divide a circle's circumference by it's diameter. The number Pi starts off 3.141592.. and just goes on for ever and ever. Computers are sitting there as you read this working out more numbers to add on the end of it...

Pi...or pie? So sweet, so vanillaish, so almondish, so likely to induce vomiting if too much were applied and people were trapped with you in an elevator. I dare say this smells like some of my girlfriend's bath and body stuff. That said...I like it...but not so sure I'd wear this in public. Never could convince myself to buy even a small bottle, so I settled for a mini which will most probably be a lifetime supply. (However, it is summer in the south so I'll give you another try when things cool down.)

Pi feels unfinished to me. I mean, where's the supposed wood?-- what is magnetic wood? It's an inoffensive vanilla and not unpleasant, but doesn't really go anywhere. Bland is the word I am looking for. It doesn't create enough emotion to thumbs down it though.

Calming, soothing and sweet scent. Though quite terrific, I need something more engaging. My personal preference should not discount the fact that this is a well made, though cloying fragrance.

I've had Pi for a few months and it's definatly gotten alot of wear. I love the powerdy vanilla it dries down to and I just feel it's a very pleasent scent over all with decent longevity.

If you like the vanillic scents, Givenchy Pi is a must-have!

It starts out with a little bit of citrus, but dries down to layers upon layers of vanilla. I originally found the sillage to be a little weak, but upon reapplication, realized it was DARN good. Lasts for at least eight hours on me... last but not least, the bottle. One of the most unique bottles out there!

Thumbs up from me.

I see this as having tried to be Boucheron's Jaipur Homme and failed. The sweetness that was so well-balanced in the Boucheron scent is out of control here, though not so disastrously as in Mugler's execrable A*Men. By no means disgusting, but not top-flight for me, either.
