A piney amber that kinda reminded me of a Polo scent. I liked it at first but it only lasted an hour on me. Everything was gone by the time I reached my destination driving to a friend's house. I'd have to give it a thumbs down for huge a disappointment.

Made me sick to my stomach. Didn't smell very run of the mill to me, however...so originality it gets an A+, scent gets an F.

Honestly...this smells like everything else out there released in that last 2 or 3 years...

Smells very generic, run-of-the-mill, and like it has had a load of cut and spent gardenia blooms dumped in it...

Not impressing as a contemporary offering at all...

But if you're perfectly content with smelling generic, sweet and like a "skanky" teenaged-girl, then go ahead, be my guest, and waste your money on this cheap-smelling crap!

This fragrance is about chemistry. On paper I liked it. Not loved, but liked it. So I decided to buy a bottle and well, I usually go for softer scents, this initially packs a hit, but dryed down on me to like, a wood chip. I took it back the next day for a refund.

an interesting mix...during one minute !
on can smell mint and grapefruit first, second mocha and then hazelnut but it evolves too quickly to a boring cheap drydown, similar to any "male" perfume released now
the intention of creating something original was maybe there but it was not achieved

Points for originality, but not for composition. I don't generally like the scent of mint, but it's particularly problematic here because of how it conflicts with the hazelnut. It leaves the whole thing smelling like an inferior, funky version of Tommy Bahama, or maybe Le Male. The longevity is good.

This is the first and last Givenchy fragrance I am going to try. It is way too minty and resembles 'After Eight' mints, if you've tried them you'll know what I mean. Overall a very sickly product that smells like it should have been a confectionary product.

Sorry, but this coffee, citrus and mint concoction is absolutely horrible! What the hell were they thinking?

Oh boy "Vench" why are you hurting me so? Maybe it's skin chemistry, but to me this comes off as nothing more than rotting orange peels, stale coffee with a hint of mint.. Great bottle, very creative frag direction for Givenchy, but very pooly executed, and blended for that matter. Too many notes clash and fight each other, rather than complimenting each other's individual strengths. Unfortunately the sillage and longevity are very good. Much better chocolate/coffee note scents on the market. IMHO

It's too bad that the basenotes don't appear sooner, because they are incredible in my opinion. I just can't stand the harsh (actually pungent) top and middle notes.

Zero stars for creativity, zero for saying that it has hazelnuts and not feature them more prominently and 1 star for a nicer bottle design.The best thing about this one is that Liv is on the ad!.Sorry but not the best Givenchy -by far.

Tried this fragrance on the first day of its release. I was very disappointed! I like most Givenchy fragrances, therefore i was very eager to try this and hoped to get a bottle. When i tried it, something similar came to mind right away, it smelled so much like Allure and Lalique Le Faune, it also smells like Xeryous Rouge and Hanae Mori, then it smells like a combination of all the above. It was horribly unoriginal. I think that Allure is better. This was a total let down for me. Nontheless it is still an ok scent. Definitely try before buy!
