Play for Her Givenchy 2010 Eau de Parfum

of Givenchy. If I were them, I would quickly stop production and pretend nothing happened. I would cut off contact with Emilie Bevierre-Coppermann, Lucas Sieuzac, and Françoise Donche.

And yes, the bottle is indeed somewhat "hard on the eye." Embarrassing, all of it.

Edit: but if someone is interested in this fragrance and because I want to be informative:

It reminds me quite strongly of "Femme Individuelle" by Montblanc due to the pink pepper in the top note. At first, I thought of "Cascade" by Chopard, but compared to that, "Play" really lacks any edges or corners - and "Cascade" is already quite cute on its own.
The fruity note that comes from the blackcurrant in "Femme Individuelle" is provided by the orange blossom in "Play." The difference is surprisingly small. I don't know what is supposed to be African about this orange blossom. The orange, as we know, comes from China (ApfelSINE) and Southeast Asia. So even in the ingredient lists, the shoddiness begins. It probably aims to sound particularly exotic, just like the silly "bottle" is supposed to come across as particularly funky and young.
So nice and unobtrusive, ideal for the office.

Just like "Femme Individuelle" - great that the category of fragrance twins has just been introduced - the heart and base notes are even quieter than the top note.

How the balsam tree ended up in the iPod bottle, I don't know. I only know that balsam trees are a separate plant genus, consisting of a mere 2 (two) species, from whose resin Tolu or Peru balsam is obtained. Givenchy opted for the balsam tree instead of Tolu balsam. Or rather, for other parts of the tree. Probably the odorless parts, which would explain why no balsam tree can be smelled. But it does sound like something, right? Just like the flower of the nonexistent African orange.
Otherwise, in the heart note, there are exotic little flowers, "Femme Individuelle" does something similar, and where there is a bit of vanilla in the base alongside musk and patchouli, "Play" has called upon the tonka bean here.

Conclusion: the similarity is striking; I would actually speak of interchangeability here. So, anyone looking for a pleasant, delicate office or clean fragrance with a bit of fruitiness should reach for "Femme Individuelle." There is hardly any difference in scent, and a bottle that can be shown off. "Play" is as unnecessary as cold coffee.
