The result is a fragrance that the brand describes as " a stunning, overwhelming, and spontaneous fragrance. Very Irresistible, a deeply feminine floral fragrance that epitomizes French elegance with a daring American spontaneity." It seems like Very Irresistible has been with us for ages. These long, triangular curved flacons designed by Pablo Reinoso, inmetallic shimmering bright pink boxes. This eternally youthful and imperceptibly transparent fragrance of rose and magnolia, with excellent longevity and the lightest and most penetrating rosey sillage. In every store, in every duty free. This year, the fragrance turns... only twenty years old! During these twenty years, 20 different Very Irresistible flankers for women have been released, plus a collection of five fragrances for men. The collection is the most successful and prolific Givenchy Parfums collection.

In addition, special editions of Very Irresistible were released in other collections, such as five perfumes in Givenchy Harvest from 2006 to 2010, and one in Les Creations Couture in 2012, each version with its own special features - collectors could acquire more than three dozen different options. The fragrance was launched in 2003, and its face was Liv Tyler, who had just played the elf Arwen in the fantasy saga Lord Of The Rings (by the way, it would be interesting to calculate how many actors in the film became the faces of fragrances?) The fragrance seems to me to be a French rose chypre, maximally adapted to American tastes - that is, rejuvenated and photoshopped to perfectly polished smoothness. From an old chypre fairy tale, they made the world-popular fantasy, a floral magic potion of elven origin, an aroma that is attractive to the vast majority. The patchouli is maximally hidden behind flowers and musks, and the rose is turned into a kind of misty pink cloud, mixed with violet powder, magnolia, and vanilla - a young rose with fruity berry and balsamic sweetness. The fragrance is light and delicate, but with an unexpected animalic touch (there is definitely a cat in this house!)Despite its delicacy, Very Irresistible has amazing staying power, even in an eau de toilette concentration.

This is how perfumer Dominique Ropion describes his creative work on Very Irresistible fragrance in his book Aphorisms of a Perfumer:
