Few fragrances carry the heritage and quiet refinement of Givenchy Le De Eau de Toilette. Originally launched in 1957 as only the second fragrance ever released by the House of Givenchy, Le De is a deeply ladylike, floral aldehydic composition rooted in the golden age of French haute couture. Coveted by collectors and worn by women who appreciate understated elegance, it remains one of the great unsung classics of Parisian perfumery — a fragrance that whispers rather than announces.
Le De opens with a polished, sparkling accord of bergamot, mandarin orange, coriander, tarragon, and Brazilian rosewood — bright, aromatic, and softly herbal. The heart blooms into a full, natural floral bouquet of lily-of-the-valley, lilac, jasmine, rose, carnation, ylang-ylang, and orris root, delicate and unmistakably feminine. The fragrance settles into a warm, woody base of sandalwood, guaiac wood, oakmoss, amber, and musk — soft, powdery, and long-lasting on the skin.
