By the editors · 2 min readGivenchy III was originally a grand 1970s green floral, and the 2007 Mythiques reissue keeps that architecture intact. Hyacinth and galbanum open with a cool, slightly bitter green register — not the soft florals of the house's later feminine work but something more angular and chilly.
The heart pivots toward iris and a clutch of white florals — jasmine, lily of the valley, rose — softening the green without abandoning it. The base settles into patchouli and oakmoss over sandalwood, which in 2007 formula reads as a partial mossy accord rather than full oakmoss weight.
This suits someone drawn to aromatic florals from the chypre tradition: composed, elegant, and no louder than it needs to be. It occupies the space between office and formal wear easily.
