What Givenchy was thinking with the naming honestly escapes me.
Basically, this has nothing to do with the original Pi and is actually an independent fragrance.
But if anything, I would have simply named it "Pi Blue" or "Pi Lavanda".
Because I associate nothing with air here.
Over the years, my taste in fragrances has changed significantly.
Lavender has now become one of my favorite ingredients in perfumes.
And this fragrance revolves around that lavender. You get a somehow calming lavender in a powdery way with a bit of musk and woods in the background.
Distantly, you can also sense tiny other floral notes.
And by the way, I don’t find it any more synthetic than other fragrances in this price range. A bit of synthetics is certainly involved.
In my opinion, the fragrance deserved more attention after its launch, because one thing I've always experienced when I wore it is:
The scent has a very positive effect on my surroundings and I even receive occasional compliments for it.
I personally find the bottle quite cool, and it has a certain weight to it, making it feel quite valuable.
Its weak point is certainly the longevity, as after 5-6 hours, at least on my skin, the fun is over.
For me, it’s a perfect companion for an evening on the sofa or before going to sleep because it simply puts me in a good mood and a certain satisfaction.
In the office, it works well too; I don’t think any colleague will wrinkle their nose at this scent.
Perhaps it’s exactly these rough edges that it lacks and could have brought it more attention in the end.
