Mon Petit Eau de Senteur: Discover the childish universe of Lolita Lempicka
A very feminine and elegant style that appeals to women around the world. The fairy tale begins there and the Givenchy fashion house was founded in 1952. It launched into perfumery in 1958 with “L'indit” followed very closely by “Le De”. The following year, Hubert de Givenchy presented his first male fragrance, “Monsieur de Givenchy”, an ultra chic fragrance.
Givenchy's first male fragrance
After the successful launch of “L'Indit” and “Le De”, feminine perfumes, the fashion house presents “Monsieur de Givenchy” in 1959. Hubert de Givenchy wanted to create a perfume for men who resemble him, c that is to say, cultured, classy, well-mannered and courteous. What is surprising as soon as “Monsieur de Givenchy” comes out is that it contrasts with the colognes, often fresh and light, from this period. “Monsieur de Givenchy” was built in line with a new vision of man. “Monsieur de Givenchy” is truly the epitome of French male seduction. Through Monsieur, it is the chic and luxury of the fashion house that we find.
Monsieur de Givenchy, a complex composition
Francis Fabron was in charge of creating the brand's first men's fragrance. The composition of "Monsieur de Givenchy" combines softness, complexity and refinement and portrays masculine elegance. “Monsieur de Givenchy” gets off to a citrus start with lemon, bergamot, lime and neroli. At this point, you could think of a traditional cologne. However, this is where the difference is with the arrival of very spicy notes, such as cinnamon, cloves and pepper. The heart then wants to be very aromatic thanks to the presence of lavender, sage and verbena. The background, meanwhile, is heavily wooded. It is composed of oak moss, sandalwood, musk and civet which gives the composition a strong sensuality. As for the bottle, it has been revisited and resembles the emblematic bottles of the “Les Parfums Mythiques” collection of which “Monsieur de Givenchy” is now a part. Since 1959, “Monsieur de Givenchy” has been the benchmark for masculine elegance.
The first masculine fragrance of the “Monsieur de Givenchy” brand has become a timeless masculine. Chic, soft and refined at the same time, "Monsieur de Givenchy" wants to correspond to Hubert de Givenchy and it is intended for men who resemble him. The latter are elegant, but courteous and cultured. “Monsieur de Givenchy” is an extraordinary composition.
