About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Givenchy III (1970) is a landmark chypre floral that opens with a bracing green rush: galbanum and aldehydes cut through ripe peach, bergamot, mandarin, and a breath of gardenia. The heart is a complex bouquet of hyacinth, narcissus, orris root, carnation, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and rose, adding a cool, powdery floralcy. The base is a deep, earthy forest floor of oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, myrrh, patchouli, amber, and a surprising coconut note that softens the moss. This is a vintage for collectors who appreciate bitter greens, mossy depth, and old-school elegance. It suits those who love classic chypres like Mitsouko or Diorella, and works best in cool weather or evening wear. The coconut adds a subtle tropical twist, but the overall character is austere and sophisticated. A true time capsule of 1970s perfumery.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
