Organza (for women)

Designer: Givenchy Olfactive Group: Oriental Floral

Organza is a magical mix of classical sensuality, delicacy and warmth, a hymn to eternal beauty possessed by every woman. An attractive bottle designed by Serge Manseau is the embodiment of virtues of this fragrance, which is oriental-floral, warm and sweet. It is composed of intoxicating notes of opulent white flowers: gardenia, tuberose and jasmine. The combination is incredibly exciting; soft vanilla in the base tames the voluptuous luxuriance of the floral heart.

Organza was launched in 1996. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophie Labbe.

The fragrance is too annoying.
I don't like this one at all!

I love the perfume! Smells incredible! But I sometimes get headache from it. :(

Organza is a gorgeous feminine scent from the '90s that could have been released in the '80s! It's a big big somptuous white floral with great vanilla creamy base, not gourmand.
Quite daring like most of Givenchy's scents. I always thought that monsieur Givenchy had to be a true lover of femininity and female power of attraction put in an elegant way. It's always on a blade edge between elegance and a sense of vulgarity. Most of the time it works.

The name Organza gives me a feeling of lightness, but the scent is not light at all! It may be perceived as sunny, much in the line of 24 Faubourg, a golden smell, made of thick white flowers and a woody/creamy base.
Ok, this is a scent that is even too easy to imagine on a rich mature overdone over-jeweled lady dressed in expensive silks with no taste and no sense of her shape, who buys just any strong perfume as far as it is expensive and has a famous name that can be shown in conversations. Meh. This is the destiny of a scent until it becomes so outdated that it can be enjoyed for what it is.
Think big sunny Organza on a pale skin on a young lively extrovert classy lady with a simple modern style in her '30s or even '20s!
The luminous white creaminess of Organza is wonderful. At a point I can smell a vegetable bitterness that's not totally out of place. It keeps the scent from being too cloyingly sweet. It's like an alternate rythm.
Wear Organza and have a walk close to the sea. Smile at your love and be happy.
The bottle is half way between dreamy femininity and tackyness. It perfectly suits the juice.

What i don't like too much is that I perceive a lower level of quality in raw material. They changed something in the formulas of most Givenchys.

i used to love this perfume very much but recently i got a sample of it from my friend and when i opened it a bitter smell punched my nose,but i didn t descourage ,i put it on my skin and waited.....the dry down was better but not much better,i still found it sickening and heavy. i guess all these notes combined aren t the happiest combo for my skin although i find most of the givenchy fragrances weird,they push my limits .overall organza is a crazy combination of notes. has a good lasting power.i would surely like to have a bottle of it in my colection but i doubt i ll ever buy it.

I loved this scent ever since it was introduced. The epitome of womanhood. The bottle is a work of art in itself. The notes catch one off guard. Tuberose generally nauseates me, but it is so well paired her is becomes gentle and comfortable. Ditto with peony. Whover put this one together worked long and hard. The base notes are a masterpiece. Bravo Givenchy!!!

Organza and its sister Organza Indecence are to me two masterpieces created by the house of Givenchy.

The bottle is a work of art and the magic potion there is inside is a wonderful oriental-floral composed by a mixture of white flowers and vanilla.

Launched in 1996, it's not an "old lady fragance". This classic can be worn by modern and elegant woman.It has a fantastic lasting power...

The cap and the box still make me think sometimes of the type of a woman that used to wear this a couple of years ago in my country: a smaller businessman's wife, 40+, dyed hair, loooads od gold jewerly... Luckily, as we have had some new bestsellers in the meanwhile, finally I can focus on the scent itself. And I must say I really love the dry-down, it's extremely warm, I would say golden, like sunlight on a lazy late summer afternoon. The beginning susprised me: it's very retro, like the perfumes from the 50s, a bit oldish and too strong for me. But then it's only getting better. I smell a very nice and not overwhelming tuberose, lots of flowers, the nutmeg...there is something nicely gourmand, a bit of a kitchen scent that makes you feel comfortable. I think it's a bit too lady-like to be called Orgasma :) Maybe it is a mediocre perfume (it must be, if the great Luca Turin says so ;) ), but I can't help thinkin' that what was mediocre 15 years ago now is outstanding, among all the flankers and flankers of the flankers...

I'm so sure floral lovers admire this perfume.for me,this is not my cup of tea,but I can't deny the fact that it's one of the bests in its category.
the first notes are like an exploration of flowers mixed with fresh grass,like a romantic garden after irrigating.
the middle notes are more powdery,as it becomes a bit bitter because of too floral combination,I think it's the mixture of peony and iris that makes it smell this way.but also I can smell the sweetness of honeysuckle and it's nice.
I think organza has something in common with dolce vita,because both are floral and incredibly sweet.though organza is lighter.
I don't go crazy for this scent,but I think it's a perfect gift for mothers and who can ignore the fact that it's so elegant both in bottle and the scent?!
definitely it's suitable for a +40 years woman who loves classic.

Organza is a classic perfume for mature women in the age of +30 who are very self-confident and feminine. First i noticed a very heavy flower smell in combination with something sweet and woody. A good perfume for special occasions or nightlife, preferably in colder time of the year, it lasts very long. The bottle of Organza is quite elegant and sophisticated, represents the femininity, like a treasure in gold. For me its just to heavy but i guess that many women adore this perfume.

Very elegant and somewhat sweet. Smells very classic but not in an old, stuffy way. Lasts a good while too.
04/02/09 23:34:59
 
Sweet and classy in a very mature way. Its ok just Not for me though, it seems more for someone more demure and ....welll...mature. It literally screams maturity! Doesn't quite make it to my top 40.

Years ago, I had this frangrances and eventually thought it was too strong on me. I purchases the lighter version and found it too light. Oh well...
03/15/09 06:15:29
Organza.. brings back memories of a customer asking loudly where she could find the Orgasma? "Where can I find Orgasma in here??" The only time I blushed when pointing someone to the Givenchy counter :) But seriously she was pretty close! Organza is not typical of Givenchy to me. Creamy and warm base notes vanilla with nutmeg making an apperance from beginning to end. The Gardenia and Bergamot add a sparkle but are very gentle. Kinda sexy and one of the first almost gourmand scents!! Worth every penny.

The name describes this scent well. Like the fabric, it has body, but at the same time it's sheer. This fragrance manages to be complex, yet there is not a dramatic change from top to base. The vanilla is there, but not overpowering. Sweetness is definitely there too, but sexy, not sickening. Hands-down special occasion choice.

I had Organza Indecence first, and just loved that. Eventually I decided to try Organza and I love it! It has a sweet, spicy smell and my husband loves it, too (which is rare; generally the perfumes I like he either goes "uck" or "that smells like grandma perfume"). I can really smell the tuberose when I first put it on - I love that sweet/spicy scent.

veryyyyy nice i love it

Organza is such an exquisite perfume, very classy and strong. I actually like this one better than the organza at first light. Only because this one stays longer with me. The bottle is so beautiful, elegant and simple and even better in person. With this scent all you need is a little spritz, more than that would be to overpowering.

Very oriental, woody fragrance. On me it smells a lot like cinnamon, though the cinnamon is stronger in Organza indecence.
And yes as Noor said, the bottle is a real piece of art.

Since childhood I'm addicted to the aroma of nutmeg. I used to have one or two nuts in my pocket, because I wanted to smell it from time to time :))

As far, as I know, traditionally nutmeg was a component for men's perfume. In "Organza" nutmeg is not very sharp, but I still recognise it among quite intense bouquet of white flowers, amber, cedar and woody notes.

I simply adore this perfume, as well as absolutely beautiful bottle!
10/20/08 11:37:53
Feminine, strong, voluptuous, distinctive... could be almost ostentatious... to persistent, and strong character women... very long lasting
One of the best of givenchy
10/13/08 16:58:50
Sweet, elegant oriental fragrance.White flowers and nutmeg gives a very special feeling, long lasting perfume.
10/12/08 03:00:30
organza is a nice perfume perfect for winter especially rainy cloudy days but the problem is that.....i don't know how or why...but it makes me sad depressed and gloomy....
10/11/08 23:48:57
 
This is a feminine, classy smelling frgarance that has nice staying power and a beautiful bottle. When I'm wearing this perfume, I feel very confident, but I do not feel that the scent that I have on is too overpowering or loud. It can be applied too heavily but when applied correctly, it is just lovely.
10/10/08 06:15:40
Perfect connection between design of the bottle and the fragrance. Strong, elegant, perfume for your special evenings and nights.:)
10/06/08 00:43:10
Creamy white flowers, smooth, ultra feminine and powerfull. Almost like wearing white soft, fluffy thing on, this one have it's presence for sure.
09/21/08 11:48:56
This is just beautiful, and boy can it last! Waking up after a long night out you can still smell it the next morning.
Very strong and sexy

Organza is my very favorite. Just a spritz, and my home smells of it (sweet and wonderful), but a word of caution, a little goes a long way.
08/30/08 20:12:41
I will always be in love with this one!!! One of my all time favourites! yummmmm
07/07/08 05:40:05
Little Monster, for years i haven't been able to change it to anything else, either. The first time i smelled it i fell in love with it, and i wore it whole year, even in summertime. Altough it's strong and rather warm, i never felt it to be too much - of course i wore only one drop of it.
A few years later i wanted to change, first i tried L'Interdit, and then came all the others. But i always have a bottle of Organza at home. It has an extremely beautiful bottle!
06/04/08 07:22:50
Girly smell that provoke sexy feeling about the person who wear it
06/03/08 03:59:31
The best perfume ever! ;o)
i just can't change it to something else ;o)
01/10/08 11:22:07
The bottle is gorgeous, indeed. The women who wear Organza is a young independent mother.
