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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

vavavoom

cool prfm , it making good sales on my stores , and customers like it , till now no claimes ... godd touch GIVENCHI !

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.
