Greenergy
by Givenchy
Greenergy is a soft, green-floral chypre with a refreshing yet sweet character, best suited for spring and summer. It opens with a bright, moist burst of citrus and mint, layered with cardamom and grapefruit, creating a juicy, slightly green-fruity top. The heart reveals a delicate blend of marigold, mimosa, and nutmeg, weaving in a subtle honeyed sweetness that softens the green notes. As it settles, the fragrance becomes more floral and slightly balsamic, with a smooth styrax and sandalwood base that adds warmth without overpowering. Despite being labeled 'Greenergy,' it doesn't deliver a sharp, bitter green profile — instead, it leans toward a 90s-inspired aquatic floral with synthetic elegance, giving it a light, synthetic-tart smoothness rather than a bold natural green punch. The scent is linear and pleasant, with moderate sillage and average longevity, making it ideal for daily wear in warmer months. It’s unisex in appeal, though some find it too sweet or too linear for a signature scent.
Pros
- +Deliver a soft, pleasant green-floral character ideal for casual summer wear.
- +Appealing floral-spice nuance with marigold and mimosa adds complexity without heaviness.

Cons
- −Falls short of its name with a weak green profile — lacks sharp, bitter green notes.
- −Smells somewhat synthetic and sweet, which may disappoint fans of classic chypres or green florals.
- −Weak longevity and sillage mean it doesn't project far or last long, making it best for intimate wear.
