For Women

Classic Packaging: This 1 oz Very Irresistible by Givenchy Eau de Toilette features the previous tall pink packaging design shown in the product images. Givenchy has redesigned the presentation of Very Irresistible over time. The product pictured is the packaging you will receive.

Very Irresistible by Givenchy Eau de Toilette is a distinctive rose-centered fragrance that combines elegant florals with an unexpected aromatic twist. Star anise, cassia, and lemon verbena give the opening a bright, slightly spicy character before rose, peony, and magnolia create its signature feminine floral heart. Taif rose, vanilla, patchouli, and musk bring warmth and softness to the finish.

Originally introduced in 2003, Very Irresistible became known for pairing a sophisticated bouquet of roses with the unusual freshness of star anise. The result is feminine and polished without smelling like a conventional sweet floral perfume.

Scent Story

Very Irresistible opens with crisp lemon verbena, aromatic star anise, and cassia, creating a fresh introduction with a subtly spicy edge. As it develops, rose becomes the centerpiece, joined by peony and magnolia for a smooth and elegant floral character. Taif rose continues the floral theme into the drydown, while vanilla, patchouli, and musk add warmth, depth, and a soft sensual finish.

It is an excellent choice for women who enjoy classic floral perfumes but want something more distinctive than a straightforward rose fragrance. The contrast between fresh aromatics, layered florals, and a warm base gives Very Irresistible a recognizable personality.

Wearability & Lifestyle

Very Irresistible works especially well for daytime wear, the office, lunches, brunches, special occasions, and early evenings. Its polished floral character makes it easy to dress up, while the aromatic opening keeps it fresh enough for everyday wear.

Spring and fall are particularly good seasons for this fragrance, although it can be worn year-round depending on climate and personal preference. Apply approximately 3 to 5 sprays depending on the setting and desired projection.
