What do reviewers say about Givenchy III and The Mistresses of Louis XIV?
That aldehydic opening is the whole conversation. It's bright, sparkling, disarming. Then the florals and oriental base arrive and you realize this isn't a simple daytime scent at all.Givenchy III
Here's the thing about this one, the galbanum opening is sharp enough to split heads at a cocktail party, but give it 20 minutes and something tender emerges from behind the green. That's the move.The Mistresses of Louis XIV
