Perfectly Ordinary

L’enfant Terrible by Givenchy is, in my opinion, as good as an ‘ordinary’ scent can be.

It’s not the most unique fragrance per se, or the one with the strongest or most convincing presence. It is, however, a very delicate, soapy, clean and admirable fragrance. Extremely inoffensive. It opens with the signature soapy opening that it shares with Imagination, and the similarities don’t really stop there either, which shouldn’t be too surprising considering both perfumes are owned and marketed by the LVMH Group. Focusing on this one, though, after a couple of minutes, particularly in presence of sunlight, this scent reveals its beautiful Sri Lankan Tea heart. A very sweet and desirable smelling tea note, that balances the soapy and clean feel of the perfume perfectly. It lasts pretty long on skin, and I can usually pick it up a couple of days later on my jackets. Sillage is pretty soft, and, along with its mundane smell, this isn’t exactly the scent to get you noticed or garner compliments. It is however, in my opinion, the perfect daily reach that keeps you enjoying your own scent bubble, and feeling clean and confident.

This one is particularly close to my heart as I consider it to be my signature scent.

Overall, a 9/10 for me, slightly brought down by its drawbacks in performance.

Imagination and Levitating have had a child

… a terribly beautiful child, in fact.

Givenchy shows no mercy to its paying customers. This year, three new creations under the "Les Jardins Particulier" label have seen the light of day.

What they all have in common is the hand-picked (of course) and specially refined (sure) black tea from Sri Lanka. This indeed creates a beautifully smoky woody tea note, marketing jargon aside.

Once L'Enfant Terrible is sprayed on, steaming black tea spreads around the nose. A slice of lemon floats in the glass, rock sugar and a slice of ginger join in. The scent is sweet (!), but well balanced by the bergamot; there’s no risk of a sugar shock here.
On paper, I find the composition noticeably fresher, with the black tea remaining dominant for longer. On the skin, however, I am quickly greeted by a warm spiciness that my memory associates most closely with cardamom and clove (very subtle) - and here I am gently reminded of "Levitating | Floraïku." The sharpness of the ginger and the freshness of the bergamot (Hello, Imagination!) continue to accompany the unfolding scent. The musk from the base is pleasantly subdued, not particularly dominant or remarkable.

I wouldn’t wear it in the height of summer due to the subtle spiciness and that slight amber warmth. However, for the rest of the year, it seems to me an interesting companion for everyday life, especially since the way I apply perfume usually doesn’t produce a strong sillage. A bolder wearer, however, would likely be noticed by their surroundings for a few (rather few) hours, should they wish to be.

Lastly, a quick look at the fragrance vessel: Oh, what a chunky child! The 50ml bottle is a little block. As wide as it is tall. It might have been more elegant, but I don’t want to fat-shame here: the material is of the usual high quality, and despite its size, it sits reasonably well in the hand.

In conclusion, I must say: I really like this mix of freshness (bergamot, ginger) and ambered base, even though I don’t believe this creation comes across as unconventional and unruly as one might read on the Givenchy website.

L'Enfant Terrible is quite well-behaved. But that’s nice too.

A refined, well-rounded scent for summer evenings. Not groundbreaking, but elegant enough for occasions. Good longevity, average projection.

Refreshing cold tea with fresh, juicy citrus notes and candied ginger. The wood is slightly muted, the base quite warm and sweet.

Beautiful black tea accord. Subtly ambient towards the end, much nicer than the Belletrudsche imagination due to the restrained Ambroxan.

"The Gör" washes down ginger candies with black 'spritzed' iced tea - what has it actually done? Ah, played with Ambrox!

It's all about the imagination in the opening. Later, the musk comes through. The imagination costs just 5€ more. Everyone has to decide for themselves…
