One of the most polarizing tuberose-feminine launches of the early 1990s — Dominique Ropion's 1991 release for Givenchy, the dense tuberose-mimosa composition that divides wearers to this day. Orange blossom at the top, a tuberose-mimosa heart, settling on a vanilla drydown. Versatile across spring through winter, day-to-night.
