Givenchy Organza Eau De Parfum - 100 ml

Product Information

I managed to get my hands on a vintage Organza and it is so different from the reformulated version. It’s much smoother and the nutmeg doesn’t come off as chemical. Nor is it powdery. The reformulated version is very powdery on me. The dry down is the same for both though lighter in the reformulated. All in all, the vintage Organza is richer overall with clearly better quality ingredients. I am surprised by the fruity shade to the bouquet. Vanilla, amber, flowers, a bit sweet, but not sugar sweet - nectar sweet. There aren't many fruits in the notes but I smell fruit. This isn't " old lady-ish" ( i hate that saying anyway) but it is "old school", they sure don't make em like this anymore, it's the way oriental floral should be. I feel like that term gets thrown around a lot with perfumes these days, and most of the time they're just sweet floral sugar water with no real spice or character. The peony and its dainty freshness combined with an uncanny trio of salacious gardenia, cosmetic iris and that smell which wafts from ripe walnuts, shell intact, seemed to produce dreamy billows of the kind I find in Poison, Amarige and even Paris. After all, these use greens at a certain degree. These all work under a bed of bright and dark green leaves with no feel of the soil underneath. The base stars a vanilla that is at the core of the last stages. A touch of walnut, a ambery woodsy guaiac with remnants of the nutmeg spiciness lead the way into the gradual petering out of this potpourri.

Organza has been my signature scent a few years ago, and I could barely go a day without wearing it. It was a love at first sight, and I was going crazy over it. The scent is powerful, delightfully decadent in its tuberose, gardenia and jasmine trio draped in an airy vanilla shawl that left a heavenly trail. Organza lasted well during the whole day and late nights, it filled the room with its powerful presence. This must be the strongest perfume I have in my collection, and how could one not be thrilled about this.

I would go on daydreaming that the green to wood and fruit ratio in Organza would be inclined to the former; it suggests something fantastic but people do take greens as of the moment as an acquired taste or for those who have no proclivity to scents in general.

Givenchy Organza Eau de Parfum - idealo

This beauty opens with the perfect amount of indolic gorgeous white flowers, This and Gucci Bloom are perfectly balanced examples of white florals for beginners, for people starting out in this category. She opens with the most beautiful Arabian Jasmine and Gardenia and within a few minutes she settles into the vanilla, orange blossom and nutty walnut base and the sweetness On first application, Organza is a rich opulent, almost slightly soapy boquet of lush white florals done right; theres nothing indolic, nothing screetchy or synthetic, just perfect well blended florals. Then the nutmeg and spicyness comes in and gives it the slightest sweetness to balance out the flowers, the walnut is warm, creamy and..well nutty lol. I’d also like to recommend you take her for a test drive on your day off, or minimally start with 1, maybe 2 sprays. See how she performs for you..

When I first smelled this, I was immediately inlove. It’s absolutely gorgeous! They don’t create perfumes like this anymore, so it stands out from the crowd. In saying so, it has a beautiful warmth and complexity that are only found in vintage perfumes.✨ As for my personal chemistry with Organza, I guess it was not meant to be. While the perfume opens wonderfully, with white florals and spices, it is soon overpowered with nutmeg that continues to dominate the scent deep into the creamy drydown. I am not the biggest fan of nutmeg, and I tolerate it only if it's blended with other complementary Christmas-y spices. I love flowers, especially white flowers (I'm a big tuberose fan) and I need sweetness, as fragrances do tend to sour on my skin. I do find the juice and bottle incongruous. Whilst I adore the voluptuous bottle which reminds me of an Egyptian priestess, it doesn't really match the fragrance itself IMO, which is innocently uplifting.

Organza is a perfect mix of florals and vanilla with soft spice and wood accords. It has a grounded quality, but also an ethereal touch that strives towards the skies. It combines strength with delicacy, directness with subtlety. Wearing it enhances my well-being and confidence - it's the cherry on top of the cake. Golden, soft, sophisticated, warm. My review is of the vintage formula. This is a very powerful fragrance! For me I get strong powdery nutmeg, orange blossom, and a very green tuberose smell. It smells very opulent, rich and mature. Although people say it smells ‘feminine’ there is something about it that has a heavy masculine quality to it. It has a warm quality when it radiates. The projection and longevity is massive for the original formula. Picture soft white petals and creamy white vanilla ice cream with fresh nuts crushed inside, a lovely, sweet, white floral.Either way, this is by no means to say that Organza is a bad perfume - I still adore its scent from the bottle, but that just so happens that it no longer suits me, which happens. I can only add that this is probably best to be worn in colder times of the year only because summer doesn't do Organza much justice, and it can become suffocating. How many perfumes do you come across with notes of nutmeg and walnuts? I have a huge arsenal and very few have these notes.
