Givenchy III, a classic by the house Givenchy, was introduced in 1970, to mark the opening of a prestigious store by this brand, on the location 3 Avenue George V, Paris. This elegant and feminine bottle contains haute-couture impression of timeless quality. This simple bottle, with a hint of gold on its top, was designed by Pierre Dinand. The perfume opens with aldehydes with bergamot, mandarin, galbanum, peach and gardenia. The heart includes lily of the valley, hyacinth, rose, jasmine and iris root, while the base carries patchouli, oakmoss, amber and sandalwood. Givenchy III is available in all concentrations, as extract, edt, edp, with an accompanying cosmetic line of losions, deodorants and gels.

I love your descriptions Persephone and mimian. It is hard to find in Australia, though over the years I have bought it whenever I found it, and this year was excited to find the EDT in Harrods while visiting London, but I have never yet come across the EDP or parfum.

I've just got the vintage edp in the most adorable bottle. It´s a creamy beautiful white one whith a golden midsection. A refillable 75 ml. Beautiful and very classy.

This frag is so different to the edt. It's so amberley floral i almost felt dizzy after I just sprayed it on. It's not bad, and the drydown is so full of everything and much more longlasting than the edt. Still i love the edt more as there is a really fresh blast and visible flowers. The edp is darker and perhaps more alluring for some, but lacks the mystery of keeping so many flowers fresh in a bottle.

This is my absolute favourite. If I had to give away all my perfumes I would hide this one and keep it in clandestine. Givenchy III is a perfect chypre, well balanced from top to base with all stages revealed and enjoyable. It´s nothing like modern headache inducing monotone frags. This is just pure feminine beauty in a bottle. First the top hits you with a blast of bergamot, galbanium, peach and gardenia. The heart reaches yours by surrounding you with visible flower petals of rose, jasmine, hyacint and lily of the valley. The true slightly dry chypre base is bittersweet but comforting for your senses with oakmoss, patchouli, amber and sandalwood. This is just a perfect fragrance for any occasion at any time of the year.

Vintage EDP: An absolutely delicious green chypre. At first it smells medicinal, but then quickly warms up on my skin to a sweet leafy green accord. Imagine a dewy morning meadow, where green grass and delicate wildflowers grow, spring water, almost sweet, runs through the field, the humid soil is still warm and fragrant. It really lasts, but instead of hitting you, it wafts around creating an elusive aura of femininity. Will you excuse me as I can't stop sniffing my cleavage. My favorite chypre so far.

I think it is very nice pefume, but very classic..old but very orginal.
In my opinion it smells quit similar to Prada D'Iris.I know that you can buy them in Harrods.
