Absolutely Irresistible by Givenchy

I have a mini of this and like it well enough that I bought a 1.7. I really like Absolutely Irresistable much better than Very Irresistable + Irresistable Sensual. This one doesn't have that chemical opening that reminds me of slightly perfumed mosquito spray. No this is nice. I get creamy jasmine on opening and a slight powdery scent. I did think the bottom notes would be more intense and slightly woodsy but I am not getting that on my skin. Love it!

I ordered a foundation from Sacks and they've kindly sent me a mini bottle of this one. I've just tested it.If you like red berries that's for you! in the begining you smell the spicy notes together that refreshes you inside. I would say it makes the berries look "sexier"!!!
After a few minutes it goes away, and the sweet berries go on side by side with the amber. That's all! Very light.Very naive. I'd say it's a good fragrance for teenagers.

it smells much better than ange ou demon ...the last one is intoxicating all your senses and this one is just sexy

Lady Love

As Sweet as Lou Lou by cacharel, but is not more irresistible like its predecessor, smells good anyway and is longlasting.
I like the red berries and paprika combination, but nothing can replace the rose notes.

I had a tester of this, so against my better judgement I tried it on. I have a horrible stomachache now. Its most likely from the patchouli which is always a big turnoff for me. But, someone had mentioned to me that it was almost undetectable in this...not so! I have tried to wash it off, but the staying power is great, I must say! All I can smell here is really dry wood and patchouli. I really want to like a Givenchy scent someday.. but have yet to find one... :(

Ok, I'm generally a fan of Givenchy or at least I was. My old signature Amarige was different and original at the time. Organza is BIG, Very Irresistible is the start of the mishmess try-to-like-to-all era of Givenchy. I like Very Irresistible, I liked Very Irresistible Sensual EdP much more, but now... not only Very you can be Absolutely! Just buy a bottle of this red juiced fragrance and spray liberally. You will smell like any other woman, but who cares? Mixed in the crowd you may grab something that it's not yours ;-)
This fragrance is nice-smelling, no stink at all, but it is also very non-descriptive, sweet, floral with woody tones.
It smells very synthetic, similar to many others with variations, the usual perfume-y sweet mix of this era. It has become an acquired taste.

This fragrance smells the same as Ange ou Demon but only with more Red Berrys in the opening.

coziloveyou

it made me nauseated and dizzy at first. Made me wonder why Leeve endorse it. However after a couple of hours it smells better..but not the smell I am expecting...:(

zvoncica

I have a sample of this so I tried it first time, second time, third time... nothing irresistible for my nose happened in any of our meetings.

The perfume smells good first ten minutes. After that time mandarin and red berries are gone, all that is left is jasmine and irritating sweetness. It is same as Burberry The Beat. I cant say which of Irresistible editions is better, I really dont like none of them.

fleurdelis

I like this fragrance. After testing it the past week, though, it doesn't seem to terribly special to me. On my skin, no fruits develop and the scent doesn't really change from spritz to dry down--it just gets softer. The only two things I can pick out are a lot of jasmine and some spice. I would also agree with A. Rose that it does smell pretty synthetic, but most Givenchy's do and it's not necessarily a bad thing (I really like Hot Couture and Ma Dame which are pretty synthetic smelling).

That being said, I still enjoy this fragrance and may buy it! But I have a few more unique fragrances that I want to purchase first.

It has that acratchy, synthetic fragrance quality that all Givenchy's have...but, strangely enough, there's something very cozy in it---no other house pulls "applied glitz and glamour" like Givenchy. "Absolutely Irresistible" opens on an orange-juice burst of sweet, spicy freshness, evoking iced-cranberries and bubbly, served with a dash of peppered "fuzzy nosed" exuberance. The berries then start to melt-down, into a syrupy sweetness, over a dry, developing wood. The berries are joined by a white-flower waxiness and velvet rose, while the top citrus notes fade away before you notice. It finally dries-down into a dark red berry, heated pine and cedar blend that's reminiscent of old-world potpurri; dried, curled cinnamon bark, berries, pine cones, orange rinds, herbs and orange blossoms. It also feel vaguely nostalgic; but then, why shouldn't it? Frosted, baked and dried red berries, spiced oranges, pine needles, a papered dryness that feels as if it's been baking under a light bulb for many years or stored in a cedar chest--"Absolutely Irresistible" is the scent of Christmas.

Absolutely Irresistible is deliciously good.

Like Montie_M said previously, this fragrance opens with a scent that can only be described as a big, zesty, juicy, realistic mandarin orange. I love, (I can't say that word enough), how Givenchy have created a fruity scent that is real and not synthetic. I am often quite disappointed with fruity scents produced these days, hence the reason why I don't own many.

One thing I've noticed with a lot of Givenchy fragrances is that they all drydown to a powdery-like, yet unique scent. The patchouli and the paprika notes, when added to the powdery florals in Absolutely Irresistible, create a spicy warmth that exudes sex appeal and mystery.

As one of my friends would put it, "this fragrance makes you want to eat the parts of your body where you've sprayed it". Although it's not a gourmand, it could very well be one.

I have to say however, that once Absolutely Irresistible settles on the skin it starts to smell very much like Deep Red by Hugo Boss. It'd actually be hard to tell them apart, especially since both have excellent sillage and superb lasting strength.

Overall, I find this fragrance to be very versatile. It can easily be sultry and dirty while still maintaining an element of class and femininity. Definitely a must-try.

NuriaRose

this smells very similar to AngeDemone but with top note of cherry, the best from this seriers, althoght its not so special but i can not see someone that wont like it

Peeling off big mandarin orange, tasting its tangy juice and pulp while watching my flat TV is one of my guilty pleasure. Either in sunny day or when the rain pouring hard, mandarin orange is my best delicacy. Its pulpy texture is reflected perfectly in the opening of Absolutely Irresistible by Givenchy. Sharp, tart, fresh and sparkling, though a bit spicy (and frankly, my nose was a bit aching sniffing the first emanating aroma). That feeling is just like the same feeling erupted from my heart each time my peeling off mandarin orange ritual begins.

Don't get me wrong, though. The whole composition is not mere orange. It also consist of a bit of a jasmine: a sparkling sambac jasmine. So crystal clear it is like dipping a toe into a pond full of jasmine petals. It remind me instantly of flower bath in nearest traditional spa where jasmine is praised as an excellent method to induce sensuality even to the most cold-hearted or frigid woman. Well, I got an idea, why don't we poured some Absolutely Irresistible to her, then.

Just when I thought it's all over, and jasmine reigned above all, a tiny whiff of patchouli appeared. Earthy and quite unfit to the orchestra of flowers before. I will not give any comment as I happen to dislike patchouli in perfume composition, thus unable to give objective review. However, I admit that here in Absolute Irresistible, it added a deeper note of sensuality, a kind of a tinge of content and calmness. It is totally exhilarating. I like perfumes which will drawn men to me.

But, the genius part came some times later, when the amber arrived. It swapped everything from its feet and dominated straight away. And, jasmine decided to encapsulate that amber, creating a sugary notes. It would have been a bit unbearable if there were no patchouli. Thus, the composition is beautifully weird, as both patchouli and amber try to fight their way each other with jasmine builds a block of fence around. In the end, off course, amber won.

Launched in 2008, I believe Absolutely Irresistible might last among myriad of other perfumes. In addition to that, I like Liv Tyler in the ad :-)

It is a little to sweet. It does smell like delicious berry sorbet,very sensual but strong.

TashaRose

I really love this one. After trying Very Irresistible and being on the fence of like and dislike with that one, I wasn't that eager to give this one a try. But in an effort to be fair, I decided to give it a 3-4 day trial and I'm glad I did.

To me, this is much, much better than Very Irresistible (which has a weird, synthetic rose sort of smell in my opinion). It's also quite different from it. This perfume is spicy, sexy, and warm. Very Irresistible is a walk through a flower garden; Absolutely Irresistible is a stroll along a southern street on a hot summer night.

Let it be said I'm not normally an orange type of girl, and thankfully, I barely get a hint of citrus with this. The paprika and red berries dominate for a while, and thank God for that. What a lovely combination. It sits just right on me, especially with that underlying hint of patchouli warming up underneath.

I find this perfume to be more daring and unique than the others in this line. Definitely not for everyone, but for those who can pull it off... it's sexy, warm, sweet but not overly so, and it makes a bold statement. I love it.

Jaquie

I think that this smells very similar to Very Irresistible. I smell a peper note in it. Unfortunately this is not so long lasting on me as Very Irresistible.
It`s a strange fragrance, but I still like it. It is warm and spicy. The bottle is just awesome.

litldove7

This perfume wasn't very fascinating to me. There was nothing about it that screamed ABSOLUTELY IRRESISTIBLE! And actually, my husband said that he could definitely resist it. To him, it smelled spicy. I don't think it was spicy like oriental fragrances...but compared to Very Irresistible, I suppose I can see where he's coming from. But it wasn't all that for me. I actually preferred Very Irresistible to this....and that one isn't that fantastic to me either.

It's not as fruity and sparkly as Very Irresistible. And I think it's a big "stronger" than it as well....but you'll definitely either like it or dislike it.

Chandramukhi

In the beginning it is as irresistible as a delicious sweet made with red berries sorbet, or raspberries more precisely, having that concentrate fruity-tropical flowery gourmande aroma. I suppose it is the red berries-heliotrope effect. This opening, if lasting, would best suit the young beauty and sensuality of a teenager. But...the transforming powers of this perfume are immense. This Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of perfumes becomes a bitter dried underground tone, as old as a bottle forgotten in a wardrobe. It is mostly amber in the end,with the sweet memories from the past, now only dusty and discomforting matte stains of raspberry sorbet on a velvet curtain.
The sensation, to put it outside olfactory, is similar to that following a too long wear of low quality make-up, from morning when it was shining till late midnight, when it fades lamentably.

Bouquet

I got a sample of this that I'm wearing now. I wasn't sure about it when I smelled it from the tester (thought the patchouli was too strong), but it seems to be very different (and long lasting) on my skin. This is a very wearable perfume, with decent silliage.

On me, this perfume seems to have three stages: It goes on strong initially (very patchouli), then the middle part is quite floral, elegant and beautiful, and the ending is VERY candied and jasmine-y.

I like AI better than VI, but not as much as VIS (even though AI is more versatile than Sensual.) I miss the rose scent, to be honest. So will I buy a bottle? Still not sure. You could certainly do worse for a woody floral.

Livious

ewww, very irresistible sensual is my favourite perfume, and i was so happy when "absolutely irressitible" was realesed. but then when i tested, i was disappointed, it has notting to do with the others "very irresistibles"!

tommy_girl

wow!I wasn't a fan of original very irresistible,but the new versions are getting better and better and maybe this one becomes my new favorite.
the first notes are so refreshing and young.I think I smelled something like pomegranate,not citrusy,but enough floral and a bit fruity.
as it remains it becomes more similar to the older version of irresistible.the same floral notes with strong amber.
this is young,but not teenager.provocative,but not heavy nor powdery.I think it deserves the FIFI award.
to be honest I don't like the advertisement for this perfume at all.I don't think Liv Tyler is a suitable face for a fragrance like this.

perfumes_addict

it's a great fragrance to wear. very long lasting. it's very similar to very irresistible, but only warmer and floral.

tessture

A lot like L'Instant on my skin, with a powdery amber dry down and notes of something like almond blossom. Pretty and inoffensive, but not really new.

XoXoL.o.V.e

I test this one today and is very nice,very diferent from the original(very irresistible) is more fresh and young,i really liked it. ;)

Malegria

Finally something that I liked from the Irresistible army.Got more soul in it, almost retro - and definitely more personality then the others. I like the currant note, and it really mixes with patchouli nicely. Not a great scent, but after all disappointments with Irresistibles it feels good to find something classy like this.

annaraven

I really enjoy this - it's romantic but wearable for the daytime.

KJanicki

I didn't smell a strong jasmine either. The beginning was hot, and the drydown is light patchouli and musk. In the middle it was a soft ladylike floral. i find this a little boring.

dina

The top notes are fruity but the dry down is rather similar to Very irresistible the original which is by far much more elegant and unique.
I don't smell the jasmine at all ...

Ninulia

I coyuldnt find anythinmg special, Sweet butr you can match it to many other perfumes... But Actuallt I think it's still good, im looking forward tu buy it

dioradddict

uhmm... the top notes are hot,maybe because of the paprika plus the red berries... red berries stay there for sometime and then there are proeminent jasmine notes with the base notes.The drydown to my nose is very similar to Elle - YSL´s drydown. Maybe is the pachouli. i liked it but wouldn´t buy it...but would wear if it was a gift,for sure...is not bad, i just think it´s not an original scent to me...

knics33

I like this one the best out of the Irresistible perfumes. Very unique and also very wearable.

amanda

i liked it a lot, but it seems to me that perfume creators are not very creative now, as this on me smells like bvlgari jasmin noir, with a bit stronger and more powerful middle, maybe its the deal of this winter, anyway i liked it and liked it more than very irresistible

Moszatka

At first it is delicious, and then too masculine on my skin. Not as good as the Very Irresistible Sensual.

Migotka

A big disappointment. At first it smells really horrible, then it gets better, but from time it still smells of air purifier.
The ending, once pimento and berries are gone, is very sweet, way too sweet for me, jasmin overwhelmes all other notes.
