About this deal

Organza opens w/ a blast of slightly camphor greenness, the smell of wet green stems of tuberose and peony that have been crushed under foot. An attractive bottle designed by Serge Manseau is the embodiment of virtues of this fragrance, which is oriental-floral, warm and sweet. Launched in 1996, this flo The green here is that of spring, enveloping gardenia and then you have that magical pinch of nutmeg. It smells nice but not what the notes would suggest to me (I was hoping for more nutmeg and mystery.

Why do I spend so much money sampling expensive niche perfumes when unique, powerhouse perfumes were already here? Nevertheless, even though it is not my personal pick, I still think Organza a wonderful, unique, and timeless perfume. I'm so getting a skilled seamstress to remake that dress for me, so I can wear it while wearing this perfume!I think there is some confusion between this perfume and the flanker Organza Indecence, which is an equally lovable spicy-woody-vanilla. I don't know why I waited so long to try it, I feel like I've missed out on a world of floral beauty. Maybe it’s just my body chemistry, but this was very sharp and chemical-scented on me, almost bitter.

The bottle is a masterpiece alone, and the scent is powerful,white florals are up there yet the spicy nutmeg,adds some body to it together with tuberose which brings the oomph,yet it is still soft and ultra feminine. Summer organza: Opens with a blast of nutmeg and jasmine, then settles down into a spicy, woody aroma that is complemented by amber.Boudoir has that very prominent tobacco note though that definitely wasn't in the one I've been looking for. A tiny bit reminiscent of JPG Classique, but much sweeter, as if you added tons of honeyed tuberose. This is an odd one, since unlike most here, it appears that on my skin it translates to an oriental spicebomb. Organza shared this quality with another fragrance I wore that came out around the same time - Tocade by Rochas.

All in all, a rich, smooth, sensuous fragrance, one of the few by Givenchy worth giving any time to.I'm either just remembering it different because my nose is more mature or that perfume is lost to time. Lack of depth and rich tones that I could really expect, because this should be white flowers bomb, especially it is Givenchy and very likeable fragrance overall. The peony and its dainty freshness combined with an uncanny trio of salacious gardenia, cosmetic iris and that smell which wafts from ripe walnuts, shell intact, seemed to produce dreamy billows of the kind I find in Poison, Amarige and even Paris.

I had the same problem with Perris Monte Carlo Jasmine de Pays, it smelt horrendous on me, my skin chemistry can sometimes turn Jasmine so rotten on me. Insensé was an entirely novel structure, bold and a masculine like nothing else on earth still without a parallel today, but burdened with a textbook failure of bottle and advertisement design disconnected from the brilliant scent. So glad I sampled this, as I almost blind bought it😬 Sharp white florals, sort of medicinal, boring and I dare say, dated. When I did have Organza on my shelf (like 10 years ago or more) I didn't wear it very often because it was so bold and intense. This is followed by the lingering memory of vanilla and iris, amber, mace and nutmeg and woods in the base.By the way, there's something in the late drydown that reminds me of another Sophie Labbe creation, Boss Woman. Oh and I find you don’t have to be careful with spraying because it’s not to strong, it melts into your skin so well. If you like sweet white floral fragrances, which do not veer into outrageous oriental territory, please give it a test.
