Irresistible Rose Velvet

A rose with a little attitude. Irresistible Rose Velvet is Givenchy’s velvety rose wrapped in a modern chypre structure, which gives it more depth than a simple rose soliflore.

Pink pepper, black currant buds and neroli open it with a bright, slightly spicy sparkle. The black currant buds are key: their tart, green edge stops the rose from turning jammy. Rose and iris then form a soft, powdery heart with a luxurious texture. White patchouli and woods make the base, and this patchouli is clean and airy rather than earthy.

The result feels elegant and refined, lively at first and smooth later on. Special dinners and celebrations are where it belongs. For a rose lover who prefers elegance over sweetness, it’s a thoughtful gift.

Bottles: 1.7 oz and 2.7 oz, Eau de Parfum strength.

Its softer, skin-like sister is Irresistible Nude Velvet. For another polished modern rose, look at Lancôme Idôle. More from Givenchy.
