Very Irresistible Sensual Givenchy for women

I receive many, many compliments on this scent. It's never overpowering and is something that I don't smell on myself. But always get asked what I'm wearing. It also lasts ALL DAY

This scent is fantastic! As many have already stated, it is really long-lasting and has a nice sillage.I have trouble finding a perfume that lasts more than 2 hours on my skin, but this one stays and stays and stays. It's my absolut favourite fragrance! To me, it has the classical elegance of the sixties but with a twist (without smelling old or anything).

I WAS NOT TO WILLING TO TRY THIS SCENT AT FIRST SINCE VERY IRRESISTIBLE IS NOT FOR ME AND DID NOT SMELL TOO WELL, BUT THIS ONE I LOVE! IS A WARMER SCENT. AND LONG LASTING.

I blind bought this today based on reviews here. I've recently been craving rose, and I was looking for something that would also last long and project well and is affordable, so everything boiled down to this.

Well, I wasn't really expecting anything particular when I finally bought it and tried it (in that order, lol... well, I like semi-spontaneity, what can I do) other than it should have something rosey, so I couldn't really be disappointed. In fact, I love it.

Not a scent I'd normally go for, it's very synthetic smelling, somewhat linear and doesn't tell a story (yet), but good lord is it strong. Longevity is good so far, on par with Angel which I frequently use.

It is a bit soapy in the beginning, then the more it dries down, the more powdery it gets. Also, it's quite nose tickling and sneeze-inducing if you're not careful with dosage. Have I mentioned it's mighty strong?

Imo it has the same vibe as YSL Elle, and I mean the "urban determination" - an expression I borrow from Mellyhelly's Elle review. Maybe slightly more romantic.

I can't get over how nice this smells. Right now I hope this love will be a lasting one - at least until my bottle is empty :D

Highly recommended despite the slightly stupid name and wonky bottle cap (beautiful coloring, both for the box and the bottle... really, the box is just awesome, super-femme metallic duochrome-y magenta-purple.)

7 hours and going strong!! Possibly some might think it a little bit heavy for daytime use, but I rather like heavy. I have all 3 versions of VI in miniature bottles and I have to admit I really like them all.
The combination of the rose and the anise here is a great success.
One thing I have found with all versions of VI is that they are completely linear. What u smell at first spray is exactly what u smell several hours on. BUT, this isn't a problem when the scent is so amazing!! I wouldn't want it to change, its just perfect as it is. Extremely feminine, and indeed, Sensual. A big thumbs up for Givenchy!

EDIT: 12 hours and still there. If you want sexy, feminine and long lasting, then Givenchy Very Irresistible Sensual is the perfume you need.

LOVE IT for the Night! Too heavy for the day time - in my opinion....

dry down is nice, i like it
this givenchy scent are light and long lasting in my skin, and the sillage is good.

When I purchased this I thought I was getting the other orginal Givenchy Very Irresistable (pink bottle) I knew it was purple, but since I was new to purchasing perfume, and since it was the gift set, I had NO idea there was a difference. Oh boy, I was a bit dissapointed, but not at a total loss. I wear this every once in a while, but I need to be in the mood for it. I still dont love it, its just not "me" Im not sure what the exact note in it that makes it so different for me...maybe the combination of patchouli and Star Anise makes it too "spicy" for me Im not sure. However, not bad :)

first time i smell from the miniature, i fell in love with it. and the small bottle gets empty by then, i buy another the real one..it smells good. anyway its my first perfume i ever buy during my campus life.

best dry down ever!

Nice. Rose. But rose transformed into something warm, velvet, with real presence, enduring. A successful balance.

Somewhat populist, in the sense that it has no secrets and is simple to comprehend. It is not sophisticated: free of musks and other intoxicating elements.

Thus, it is ill named "very irresistible: sensual." It is neither irresistible, nor sensual. Rather, it is formal, elegant, restrained.

Wear this to dine out at a fine French restaurant, with dark red decor, and dress with understated elegance.

Again, this is a plastic rose like in Very Irresistible and this plastic touch is nice to my nose :O ;) - the drydown is different with patchouli. All in all my impression is that Very Irresistible is crazy, funny and not serious, Sensual is much more serious, elegant and for more mature women. Both are very good.

This is a nice balance of sorts.
I had a very strong mental image when I smelled this. I imagined a rich, classy, exotic, beautiful middle aged lady. If I wore this I think it would make me feel very confident. It does smell a little bit strong though. And as odd as it may seem, the smell reminds me of a hair salon a little bit.
Hmmm...I might buy this if I ever see it inexpensively priced at nordstrom rack or the like.

I like opening notes better than the dry down which is quite powdery! Te vanilla is prominent I don't smell the rose at all. I find the dry down similar to Allure which is my least favorite Chanel. Wish it lasted longer, on my skin 3 hours! I tried this in really hot weather will like to try in the fall and winter to see if it last a lot longer!

Wow! So many good reviews!
Well,I must agree with them! It's rose,rose,rose! Lasts all day long even with just one spritz! Or should I say all night cause it's too elegant and sensual (Of course!!!) and perfect for a sexy dress and some stilletos! Perfect if you like sweetness balanced by a delicate rose!

I really wanted to like this but it doesn't mix with my skin chemistry. I don't smell any rose when I wear this, just anise and powder, very heavy, sweet and spicy. Reminds me of an unknown perfume I used to smell on ladies in church during the 1980's... it's suffocating on me, unfortunately.
Edit: after smelling sweet spice for 7 hrs, all of a sudden I smell cardboard- LOL. I have a sample I hope someone else will enjoy.

Very nice and flirty rose - but the base seems to me too candy-like, too sweet for the scent that pretends to be adult and sensual.

This one smells of anise and powder on me and a slight sweetness. It lasts well but the powder gets very strong on me where the original irresistable is less powder a cleaner finish. I love this there is something addictive about it. I have found anything with anise in it seems to get me hooked. I love lolitta lempika not sure of the spelling and mariah carey's red butterfly perfume because they seem to have that licourice smell. This is hard to find sometimes and is very expensive when I do find it. I have a mini so when I finish it I will get a large bottle because I like it that much. It isn't too sweet and not too old fashioned just a nice modern perfume but ladylike at the same time and I don't think it smells cheap in any way.

i have a mini 4ml.. i guess. well i didnt smell any roses, just vanilla.
very rich, creamy, lasting power.
i think better than ange ou demon.. (it makes me headache).

not my favorite perfume, but i guess i will wear it at night..
for dinner romantic with my hubby;) lol

Very Irresistible Sensual is like rose and peony lovely wrapped in some spiced-up velvet vanilla wrap. Somehow it smells quite juicy with a bit fruity nuance, yet remaining the spice but not dominating start anise note. Somehow it reminds me of Lancome’s Miracle Forever (well, they are made my the same nose).

Later on, it gets warmed up, more velvet and powdery in a rose-y way. It reminds the rich purple feel to it, in comparison to Irresistible and its other flankers. It’s deep, dark and yes, quite sensual. Somehow it makes me think of a woman wearing floor-length black dress in a black-white Hollywood movie.

There’s just enough vanilla there to hold everything together as a rose-themed velvet perfume.

I’m not impressed by Very Irresistible due to this type of rose in the perfume, but still it is nice to try on.

my GF wears it, it is fantastic! it is a mix of absolutely and traditional verry irresistible!

Highly recommendable!

Very Irresistible Sensual is my signature scent.
EVERY TIME I wear it I get tons of compliments.
Men love this scent.

Such a beautiful blend of rose - anise - vanilla, slightly sweet floral. Strangely it doesn`t change much on my skin and I am happy with that, I can enjoy this wonderful potion at every stage. I think this is the best one out of the sister-scents.
Perfect for a night out and I actually wear it all year round although not on hot summer days as it can be too strong, but perfect for summer nights in a bar if you want to make a statement!

Longevity is exceptional, lasts forever.

Also, ladies be aware : A real Sillage Monster is in town!!!

From all 'Very Irresistible' versions of Givenchy, this is my favorite. This very sensual indeed. I can't help myself admiring its scent. Roses with vanilla are nicely blended. Not too sweet which is perfectly what I love most. It is georgeously made. This is creamy but airy, strong and powerful on the first spray but when it settles, it is very feminine, clean and very romantic. I feel very elegant and sensual wearing it. What's more, it's not cloying on the skin and has a great longivity and sillage with just a few spray. I can even smell myself until the next day. My husband told me that he loves the way I smell. That's made my day!

So!... Really nice creation!! I like this one better than Very Irresistible, less floral but even more enchanting! I always get lots of compliments when I wear it.

well I gave this a try about 3 times now and I finally give up on this one. Based on reviews I was really excited I finally found the sensual scent I have been hunting for. Nope! this sure is not it! This is super strong going on (like bee spray strong), then on me it dries down to a bitter kind of soft musky faint powder smell. I love musk and I love powdery but this has something bitter about it I can't explain that ruins it completely for me. I find nothing sensual about this one, oh maybe just the name and the purple bottle. I guess I will keep looking.

A week or two ago, I came across a girl I know. Something was different about her. It may have been the fact that I was kind of drunk, but I've seen her often while in that same state, and none of those times I've thought of her as a girl I'd be attracted to. And right at the moment I was trying to figure out what it was, she said "this perfume is way too heavy for me". And then it hit me, she smelled AMAZING. I wanted to stay close to her all night, just to enjoy that heavenly rosy smell.

The next day I felt kind of awkward asking it, but I just had to know which perfume this was, and it appeared to be very irrésistible sensual.

I think Coco Chanel was right when she said "a woman who doesn't wear pefume has no future". In fact, the ones that DO wear perfumes, they can have every man their heart desires.

I´m testing this one today (I´ve got a sample), and I think it´s gorgeous!!!

It´s a rich, creamy and smoky floral. Rose, patchouli with warm touch of vanilla are predominant notes.

Very good sillage and lasting power.


This scent is irresistible and sensual, for sure!!

I just love this parfume. I had a bottle of Very Irresistible Sensual 30 ml. And then decided to buy Very Irresistible Sensual Velvet in bottle of 50 ml. I just enjoy it all the time. Diference in between of Velvet and clasic Very Irresistible Sensual is that Velvet has Lemon Verbena instead of Peony which comes in clasic one. But it is quite same parfume.
I will always buy this parfume. I worn it most in winter and spring at the day, and sometimes I slept in it :)
It is long lasting on my skin,it can last all day long.
I would grade it 9/10 all in all.

This is very appropriately named: It´s really a sensual perfume because it is at the same time very close to the skin and very wild. It opens strong, but in a few minutes becomes lighter and the driedown is great. Creamy, flowery and feminine, but still wild.
Star anise is very well blended here, not dominating or shouting. Instead, it gives only a discreete spicy touch that makes the scent very special and seductive.

i love the drydown of this scent - so warm and creamy

This is indeed Sensual. Sweet florals combined with the patchouli make it a seductive "come hither" scent. Sillage and lasting power are good.

This would be perfect for dates or whenever you want to be Very Irresisible to your man. :)

Here's one of the most exciting perfumes I've had in my life: it made me start to appreciate rose-based scents which I used not to consider before discovering this one.

Very Irresistible Sensual is pretty powerful and noticeable yet it has kind of a calming and pampering effect on me, making me feel as if I was on a bed covered with fragrant rose petals and burning patchouli candles around me.
This EDP flanker is quite different from the first EDT thanks to a more prominent and complex rose accord (I like the fact they've used different rose species here), perfectly combined with a very detectable star anise note that provides the scent with an edgier and aromatic vibe. Drydown is absolutely warm and refined - a perfect balance between the cold thickness of patchouli and the tenderness of vanilla - making this fragrance a wonderful and faithful companion during wintertime. Actually VIS has a very good lasting power and a wonderful sillage, so I'd recommend it for evening and night use.
My only complaint is about the bottle: the silver covering of the dispenser almost completely ruined after an year or less, I wonder if it's just my bad luck or it is a common issue.

(Liv Tyler totally fits this fragrance with her wild/classy beauty)

DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SO WONDERFUL UNTIL I GOT COMPLIMENTS FROM TWO PERF FREAKS LIKE ME...AND ANODA AND ANODA. IT'S JUST GORGEOUS.

Oh how I love Givenchy's "Very Irresistible Sensual" perfume. I was first introduced to it's predecessor "Very Irresistible" years ago and I fell hopelessly in love with it. Years later, I met its doppleganger "Sensual" and our experience together was nothing short of a passionate love affair. This flirty fragrance is composed of notes of vanilla, patchouli, star anise, peonies and rose. However, what I smell mostly is the rose and rose accord and it's played to the hilt in this fragrance and I absolutely love it. Of course it smells strikingly similar to the original "Very Irressistible" but Sensual is a more intense version. As far as floral fragrances go, "Very Irresistible Sensual" is floral perfection and smelling it is an unrepentant addiction. It's so addicting that everytime I wear it I sniff it profusely. I have nothing but kind words for this bottle of juice. It's gorgeous, guys love it and it's one of the few perfumes I can see myself wearing for a very long time. Romantic, Intimate and beautiful enough to be worn in any season.

I prefer this version to the original. For me the original perfume is too intense on the rose and overwhelmingly strong on my skin. I don't mind a perfume that lasts as long as these do, but I found it harsh. I love the sensual version because the rose is made more grounded with a balance of patchouli and vanilla. It's not easy to find in stores now. I actually love to wear this more in the warmer months than in winter! Very surprising... but something makes it more magical and it unfolds into something beautiful. In the colder months the notes stay too chilled and don't develop on my skin.
I could not stop smelling the magazine scented strip, and it was enchanting once I tested it on my skin. Update: This is now a signature fragrance for me. You get your money's worth with Givenchy's intensity and all their perfumes linger. This version definitely benefits from the vanilla. It makes it sexy and cozy.

I absolutely agreed with Rrcoolmama2 about this scent it gets better when you wear it and has a veil.
I tried it in a shop on me and first I didn't like it but then when I was coming back home I realized a beautiful playful fragrance's veil is from me! Very nice scent!

I like this but instead of being a more intense "sensual" version of the original, it seems to be much quieter. The top notes are not as intense and the dry down is powderier - very close to the skin with very low sillage. It's not bad but I definitely prefer the original VERY IRRESISTABLE.

Far less sweet than the original VI EDT, however its creamier, more rounded and beautifully balanced. I loathe patchouli, but I actually love this perfume, the vanilla and peony is just beautiful and the anise isn't overt, it adds something unusual, but tempting to the senses.

I dont love it like I like VI EDT though, and the one thing I will say that isn't great for VIS is that this is totally a skin scent on me. Zero sillage and the wear time is hideously poor. Had it not been for those two factors alone I probably would re-purchase this. Will continue to use the bottle I have, but once its gone its gone. I will stick with the EDT as a preference.

A precious perfume. It smells very natural, even wild and woody, but it is also soft and elegant. A scent to wear when you are feeling calm and enjoying plain pleasures. It is about natural beauty.

I will say 2 things.

1-Givenchy how dare you make this a LE!
2-It deserves it's NAME.

This is so sublime wear this on a super crisp fall evening. Remember ladies... light hand on this, it gets better when you wear it has a veil.

Similar to Very Irresistible(Edt), but the notes of Patchouli and Vanilla definitely makes Sensual Very Irresistible a better fragrance.

One of the greatest sensual scent ever made.

Ever since i got my hands on this perfume, there has been only positive remarks that i've heard both from male & female friends. It also comes from strangers. Not only it made me feel sexy, it also made me feel very confident. Will continue using till they stop production>>>

This lacks the initial sharpness that is so evident in the orginal Very Irresistible the result, i believe, of the introduction of vanilla in this version.

It has certainly lost some of the edge that may attract some to VI. It is a bit more grounded, subdued and refined.

This may work well for both daytime and evening wear; I would not dare wear the original Very Irresitible at night.

Both are good fragrances but I prefer this one.

Sensual is the perfect name for this scent, for it definitely lived up to its expectations.

Very Irresistible Sensual is rather different in comparison to the original. This fragrance lacks the fruity notes and has stronger hints of peony, patchouli and rose.

At first I was rather surprised by this fragrance's softness. It took a while to adjust, because I had initially expected something rather strong. The sillage is quite average here, however I don't see that as a bad thing.

The sensuality comes from the deep, rich woodsy notes, the earthy patchouli and the vanilla. The peony and rose notes create a feminine, and slightly soapy clean feeling.

I'd describe this fragrance as being lusciously sexy. Something that is both lusty and intriguing.

i don't know why this is compared to Ange ou demon; they smell completely different from one another. Anyway, I am so happy I switched to Sensual, and I think I shall wear it tomorrow morning to chase away the back to work, Monday blues ;-)

I absolutely loved it a year ago when I tried it out first. But recently its too fruity,irritating and makes me sneeze :(

i just ordered a mini bottle. I have a full bottle of the regular Very irresistible and while I like it, I have a feeling I will love this version even more!! I love the idea of the addition of patchouli & vanilla!! I will give my other bottle to my mom as she really likes it too. Can't wait to get my Sensual!!

Sensual indeed!What can i say,it is a perfect sensual feminine scent.I loved the first and i love this one more,the first one has something sour and green that i wished wasnt there but this one is softer and better balanced.I am also very impressed with the lasting power,it stays on all day.Creamy sweet rose..Perfect!

Very Irresistible is a very pretty perfume. It's so unbelievable pleasant that it's really hard to hate it, I guess. At first I get something light citrusy mixed with florals- rose and peony. Later it's enriched with vanilla and a little bit spices- very beautiful and somewhat even expensive. It could be worn both by student and woman with successful career. It's very universal and I can say that even I wouldn't be bored if I would wear this many days in a row (I usually get tired of perfume in four days in a row, that's why I wear different every day). Lasting power is very great and sillage too. You won't fail if you choose this. I would sometime love to get a bottle for myself.

rich and feminine

very irresistible sensual,this is my first givenchy perfume. but not for young girls. i won't buy it again until age 35. i want to buy very irresistible givenchy

I think the reason I have fallen for it is because it reminds me of Ange ou Demon, but it lacks this certain instability that the later has. I tend to either love or hate Ange ou Demon, it seems to be different every time I spray it on me. Very Irresistible has the same air about it, I don't know why, the notes are very much different. But there is a link between them:)
It was a love at first sight, I just wish the cap would fit the bottle better.

This is one of my favorite florals. It is very well done and super sensual and elegant. Very Irresistible Sensual is perfume art.

One of the best purchases I've made this month. I wish I had tried this earlier. Very inviting and soft. Perfect for all ages who want to feel warm and sensual. Definitely worth adding to a collection. Highly recommended.

I love this, actually one of the few mainstreet scents I really enjoy. I like it much more than regular version and guess what?? it will be discontinued!! A SA told me so. I can't stand this thing of limited editions! This could easily be my HG, but no HG can be a LE! This Sensual is more intense and much creamier than regular one. Joyful, luscious, feminine, coquine, romantic and... SENSUAL!
The vanilla here is genius. A creamy rose scent is no easy job to do. Shame, I never wanted to buy it on a purpose and went on with samples and decants. I hate when they put a cake in front of me and take it off after one bite!

just one word: CLASSY!

this is my favorite irresistible edition(so far).specially I like the first impression of this perfume.I can't describe the smelling,it's sweet,but not very sweet,just the sweetness of vanilla and although I don't like peony,it;s very well mixed in this one.
nothing overwhelming in this perfume exist.it's feminine graceful to rose and it's sensual graceful to patchouli and vanilla.
I have a miniature of this perfume,so I don't use it a lot,but when the mood is right and I'm feeling so feminine I wear a little on my wrist and it remains for more tan 2 hours.
it's floral,but not a intoxicating,nor powdery floral fragrance.it's very mild and transparent,just a bit stronger than the original one.
as I'm a fruity girl and there is no fruit in the ingredients I don't think I buy it,but I like it very much.the shape of bottle,color of it and specially the lighting-shadow of the bottle are so interesting.

This is a very warm and creamy floral and not exactly what I was expecting or looking for. It could suit anyone and I can see why most people would like this but I don't think it is for me. The search continues....

I see all the review's are positive and that's rightly.I test the original and i fell in love with it but it last not so long.Then i buy "Very Irresistible SENSUAL" and it's much better.It's so lovely and long lasting!

I love the Bottle the purple gradient match very good with the smell,and it's a eyecatcher on my shelf.

This fragrance is wonderful,the first smell is a little bit similar to Chopard's WISH,very powerful and Floral.Then you smell the anise and peony it's very creamy and a bit spicy and after one hour it's a dream,it's floral sweet so velvet and delicious.This parfume is feminine and romantic,cute and confident and "sensual" indeed!This fragrance is one of my favorites,It's for Woman of all ages.

I have had the original and loved it but this is my Holy Grail of perfumes. Wow this one seems stronger and lasts longer. Wow this is so creamy, and beautiful. Like a bed of flowers under my nose. How beautiful and classy, smells rich and expenisive. I can't stop smelling myself, will have to get some
ASAP. This might be the Best perfume Ever...

I was happy when this one came out, since the original did not last on me for a long time, while can smell Sensual hours after application.
It's elegant, classy, seductive, perfect for women of all age.

Givenchy my favorites parfums! i love this one is more stronger than the original and more fruity, it works well with my body chemistry and last all day! and i'm waiting 4 the new version

I fell in love with this fragance the first time I smelt it. It opens with fruity notes (the ones I like the least) but then the rose makes its entrance followed by vanilla and light patchouli.
It lasts long and it's lovely.

I cant live without this perfume, it makes me feel complete, so sweet and addictive.

I love kive this perfume. It smells so cute and creamy and fruity :)

Wow soooooo addictive love it

One of the best perfumes i have smelt!!!!!! It is sooooooo creamy and dreamy and fruity all at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most seducing scent ever smelled.. I first interduced it from a women after it starts vaporising the mid note Wo0o0ow

even the base is dreamful

It's less sweet than the original version of VI.

For me, it's smell like a strong version of Estee Lauder's Pleasure Delight with a touch of spice.
