Womanity's sweet and savory notes
Today, the fashion house is run by the LVMH group, which has kept the spirit of the brand. Between timeless chic, elegance and aristocracy, Givenchy has succeeded in making an indelible mark on the world of luxury. In 1986, two years after “Ysatis”, the brand unveiled “Xeryus”. A modern-day masculine fragrance.
Givenchy and his mystical hero
After the creation of his mythical goddess “Ysatis”, Givenchy decided that he needed a male counterpart and imagined “Xeryus”, his Greek hero, because it is precisely the name of a Greek god. Half-man, half-centaur, "Xeryus" represents the hero of modern times. He is a mysterious man who seems elusive. He pleases and attracts women, but he only has eyes for his goddess "Ysatis" with whom he now forms a mythical couple. "Xeryus" is the scent of a power-hungry man who does not hesitate to lead battles and defy events. Bold, it is always at the peak of its elegance. The refinement of "Xeyrus" has earned it its place in the very select "Les Parfums Mythiques" collection by Givenchy.
Xeryus, ultra masculine notes
Although he is considered a conqueror, “Xeryus” is nonetheless a virile man. "Xeryus" takes off on lively and striking notes like those of bergamot and grapefruit. A bouquet of aromatics then comes to join it, lavender, clary sage and basil. The heart is greener with the presence of juniper and tarragon. Then, the flowers of violets, more often used in the feminine perfumes come to deposit a touch of lightness and softness. The trail is woody and manly, as it contains sandalwood, guaiac wood, vetiver and oak moss. Musk envelops the whole with a strong sensuality. A new bottle takes up the emblematic codes of Givenchy's legendary perfumes. Rectangular, the bottle is transparent with a cap that is also transparent, thus offering a real touch of elegance. "Xeryus" presents all the refinement and seduction of the greatest perfumes.
In 1986 Givenchy unveiled "Xeryus", a Greek hero, but a hero of modern times. Two years before, the brand had created “Ysatis”, a Greek goddess, sweet and sensual. Together, they form the legendary couple from Givenchy. With its virile and masculine notes, "Xeyrus" is a strong and elegant composition. "Xeyrus" is the chic and refinement of the great house that is Givenchy.
