|  I retested this and tried to get it, but I don't. Unfortunately this is a wannabe gourmand blend that failed to impress me with its synthetic quality. 01 August 2009 |

|  Very Irrésistible for Men is a coffee, citrus and mint concoction that smells absolutely terrible. What the hell were they thinking?! [Original submission date: 30 October 2006] 02 July 2009 |

|  Unfortunately, no matter how much I try to like this fragrance it just doesn't work (for me anyway). It is absolutely horrible. There is a "chocolatey" scent to it that I find sickening. I like all of the other Givenchy scents (except Pi). Very Irresistible should be taken off the market. I'm shocked that it has lasted this long. Who wears it? 12 January 2009 |

|  Vey Irresistible is interesting, but I do not like. Beginning with the bottle, is very beautiful and elegant, but the fragance I dislike very much, its starst nice, but the base is very lacking in harmony. Great brand (Givenchy) Gram jar. Bad smell. 09 December 2008 |

|  Good things: Very long lasting, mostly immutable scent, unique. You´ll never got invisible wearing this fragrance, even if you try it hard. As ever, it fits and smells better in some guys than in others. In me, it felt like too much like chocolat and peaches and soooooo sweet! For those who like smell like dessert things, go ahead! 14 November 2008 |

|  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. 06 November 2007 |

|  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! 30 June 2007 |

|  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. 04 May 2007 |

|  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 19 March 2007 |

|  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. 22 January 2007 |

|  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. 02 December 2006 |

|  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 08 May 2006 |

|  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. 14 January 2006 |

|  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. 15 December 2005 |

|  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! 03 August 2005 |
