Organza by Givenchy

I only knew of it by reputation but never tried it until this year, when I searched for a Christmas gift and fell in love. The opening is subtly spiced and fresh, with sweet flowers settling over a powdery base. With daily wear, the scent has evolved: now it’s sweeter and more floral, more persistent without being heavy, keeping its elegance while leaving behind that initial powdery nuance. It’s a vintage perfume that fits perfectly today, a blessing that it’s still available in stores. Al-rehab’s Nebraska oil reminds me a lot of it in the floral part, though this one is more musky and powdery.

Smelling Organza is like returning to precious aromas from another era, when fragrance design was as exclusive as a jewel. I just opened an old tube of body cream, intact in its box. The white flowers, warm vanilla, woods, and amber are in perfect balance. A little on my hands and I already feel perfumed; it’s an exquisite treat. I’m going to buy one of the new ones, what beauty.

Organza, so much to say about this little perfume… I had a friend in college who wore it and I fell in love with the fragrance, though I didn’t buy it until a couple of years ago; it was always on my wishlist. For me, love enters first through the eyes; since I saw its bottle, with the silhouette of a woman in a strapless dress and a golden headpiece, I was shocked. I’m a collector of beautiful bottles, and this one is spectacular. As for the scent, it has the exact notes of my style: on my skin, it smells like caramelized nuts, with vanilla and dusted iris giving a powdery dried down, exquisite, as if those nuts were on a bed of white flowers, highlighting the gardenias, neroli, and jasmine. It’s very winter-like, transporting you to the Christmas season and the warmth of a fireplace, embracing softly like a suede wrap. It’s one of my favorite houses, Givenchy, a guarantee of quality. Organza is a timeless beauty, a current classic that I don’t believe has suffered reformulations, a great find in this era of disappearing fragrances. It remains that elegant, classic, and unique silhouette. For longevity, I give it an 8/10: it projects strongly for 5 hours and stays close to the skin for another 3. Incredible, I recommend it 100%.

Organza… Delicate, feminine, ethereal, and elegant. It’s a spiced perfume with a lot of personality. It’s feminine to the point of no return. It feels vintage, from the 90s, but it doesn’t give me the feeling of an older woman; for me, it radiates power, opulence, and luxury. Ideal for cool and cold nights. Striking, lasting more than 8 hours on skin and clothes for days. It opens well spiced, with lots of nutmeg and bergamot. After a few hours, you notice the vanilla and amber on a woody base. The white flowers are always there, but I don’t see it as floral, more as an oriental spiced. A must-have classic, elegant, warm, and feminine.

This perfume only reminds me of my mother; I don’t know if I would buy it out of nostalgia for her absence. It’s a great perfume, elegant and long-lasting.

Finally, I’ve figured it out: I’ve been spellbound by nutmeg this whole time.

Pff… I think this is the second time I’ve reviewed this. I just can’t come up with those poetic phrases everyone else writes 😆. It smells amazing and nothing old. I have the reformulated version and it’s still a masterpiece. Creamy white flowers, mace, nutmeg, and gardenia. Then a delicious vanilla that sweetens everything like a nectar you almost want to drink. To my nose, the green notes don’t exist, maybe just a hint at the start. I’m glad it’s still available.

Organza is that vintage fragrance that floats gracefully between classic and modern. A delicious concoction, never overwhelming, exotic but not wild, elegant but not cold. It’s perfectly captured in its bottle: complex, feminine, sinuous, with twists full of surprises. Upon spraying, you get a nutmeg you can almost taste, soft green traces, and a magnificent, slightly spicy gardenia, with a drop of lemon that soon fades. Then, the neroli joins the gardenia, creating a new floral mutation. In the background, there are powdery roses, and finally, powerful woody touches bathed in sweet vanilla. I know it sounds overwhelming, but it’s not; it’s present, it envelops you, but it doesn’t overwhelm. Any woman with a strong personality wears it wonderfully. Its best season is autumn-winter and for formal wear. It lasts about 10 hours on my skin, with strong projection for the first 4, then soft.

I love this perfume, I adore it, but it doesn’t last almost 4 or 5 hours; the trail starts strong and drops off quickly. I remember it lasting much longer before, but I don’t mind; I like it so much it’ll always be on my vanity. It smells like a refined, wealthy woman, elegant, like a lady from the hills ✨.

A disappointment when buying the EDP I thought would be the definitive one. It’s true that the jasmine predominates (that’s why I bought it), but the longevity on skin is less than 1 hour. I remembered it lasting much longer (I don’t know if there was a reformulation).

Masterpieces you can’t find in big-box stores anymore. Today, elegance must be sought in small, pricey boutiques, but elegance isn’t about money—look at those famous rich people who lack education. That’s why elegance should be accessible, like when Organza first launched. It doesn’t smell like sterile green or dried flowers; it’s fresh, sweet, youthful, and fun. It changes with your movement, your clothes, and the weather—a pleasure that follows you. It has a respectful sillage, nothing invasive, yet it lingers on your skin and clothes all day. Simply gorgeous.

Totally different from what’s out there in perfumery today. I recommend it for women over 35. At first, I hated it because of those dominant green notes that linger for half an hour, preventing me from sensing the excellent base notes. It projects an elegant woman image, but I just can’t handle those green notes, so I truly hated it. However, I gave it to my mother, and on her, the greens don’t stand out; instead, there are divine tuberose and vanilla-floral notes. It lasts more than 12 hours on skin and clothes until I wash it.

How long did it take me to get this perfumery masterpiece? It’s addictive; its entire aroma envelops you in sweetness, warmth, and sensuality, rejuvenating you. It’s divine, sensational, softly powdery, and vanilla-scented. I rated it as very feminine, though it can be a bit much and you can’t tear yourself away (forgive me). With moderation, I think it suits warm climates, though it’s ideal from autumn through spring. A true Givenchy jewel that doesn’t lose its shine over the years. A big hug, guapxss.

A perfect mythical fragrance, an authentic Givenchy jewel, one of the best balanced accords within the classics. A lady perfume with a lot of character. I don’t consider it intrusive despite having guaranteed projection, trail, and fixation. It’s an oriental perfume that will never die because it has its own life. I really like its scent in the air; very elegant, coquettish, and with a sensual touch that depends on the wearer.

A late 80s classic. I remember the advertising with Yasmeen Ghauri in that white dress; I wanted to get married in that dress with that ponytail. Tuberose and more tuberose, jasmine, vanilla, and amber. An elegant perfume with presence; one of those you only smell when kissing new relatives at weddings. I believe it hasn’t been reformulated; mine is a perfume + body milk Christmas gift batch from 2009. Kept well in the box, it hasn’t oxidized excessively and is preserved as good as the first day. A huge perfume that is no longer made.
