Meet one of the most storied names in French perfumery. Givenchy III Eau de Toilette is not just a fragrance — it is a piece of fashion history. Launched in 1970 to mark the opening of the Givenchy Couture House at the legendary address of 3 Avenue George V in Paris, Givenchy III was the first widely distributed haute couture women's fragrance from the house of Givenchy. Now preserved and celebrated as part of the prestigious Les Mythiques heritage collection, it remains a benchmark of refined, architectural femininity.
Givenchy III opens with a crisp, luminous burst of aldehydes, galbanum, bergamot, mandarin, peach, and gardenia — green, sparkling, and unmistakably Parisian. The heart unfolds into a lush floral bouquet of hyacinth, lily-of-the-valley, rose, jasmine, narcissus, carnation, and orris root, rich and elegantly balanced. The fragrance settles into a deep, earthy base of oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, amber, vetiver, and myrrh — warm, mossy, and enduring.
