Pi

Givenchy Pi (1998) opens with a brisk herbal-citrus blend: mandarin orange, tarragon, rosemary, and basil. This top is green and slightly sharp, a classic aromatic start that quickly gives way to a heart of anise, neroli, geranium, and lily-of-the-valley. The anise lends a subtle licorice facet, while the florals keep it from becoming overly sweet. The base is where Pi earns its reputation: vanilla, almond, tonka bean, benzoin, and cedar create a warm, nutty, and resinous foundation. The vanilla is dominant, supported by amber and sweet accords, with almond adding a marzipan-like richness. This is a comfort scent for cooler weather, best suited to collectors who appreciate gourmand-leaning orientals with a herbal twist. It wears close after the first hour, making it ideal for evening or intimate settings. If you enjoy sweet, woody fragrances with a distinct almond-vanilla core, Pi is a worthy addition.

Givenchy Pi（1998）以柑橘與香草為主軸，前調是橘子、龍蒿、迷迭香與羅勒的草本清新，隨後轉入八角、橙花、天竺葵與鈴蘭的中調，帶點微甜的茴香氣息。基調則由香草、杏仁、零陵香豆、安息香與雪松構成，溫暖而帶堅果感，香草比例極高，琥珀與甜味交織，杏仁更添杏仁糖般的濃郁。整體是東方木質調，適合秋冬或夜晚使用，氣質沉穩而親密。推薦給喜歡美食調、木質甜香，尤其是鍾情杏仁與香草組合的收藏家。
