Pi
by Givenchy
Givenchy Pi is a warm, unisex vanilla-gourmand fragrance centered around almond, benzoin, and tonka bean, with a smooth, creamy vanilla base and subtle herbal notes of tarragon, rosemary, and geranium in the opening. It evolves into a soft, comforting, and sensual scent that feels intimate and cozy, with a lasting base of sweetened vanilla and amaretto-like almond. The projection is moderate and discreet, making it ideal for close encounters or intimate moments during colder seasons, though some find it faint or weak. The fragrance performs consistently well over time, though fewer users report strong longevity and sillage compared to older formulations. It’s considered a classic with an elegant, breezy bottle, but some note the modern reformulation is weaker and less impactful than the original.
