Givenchy: Ysatis, Eau de Toilette

***Ysatis - be warned - it's not for sharing*** The scents of mandarin blossom, jasmine and patchouli make Ysatis (pronounced Ee-sah-tees) the delicious sensuous fragrance that it is. It's exotic and spicy and has a mysterious air about it. You really get noticed with this scent on and my husband is putty in my hands when I wear this (which is quite often)! It was launched by the design house of Givenchy in 1985 and what a wonderful invention it was. They caught me hook, line and sinker as a loyal user of this heavenly scent. Ysatis was created by Domenica Ropion who since 2000 has been working as Senior Perfumer for International Flavors & ...  Read the complete review

It so captivated me to the point of not being able to concentrate on the work to be done. Reason being not because it stank but because it smelled so good. Downside to it though, was that she obviously did not know how much to spray of the stuff and it got out of hand. Daily.

I too had to write down the name, since prononciation left a lot to be desired, which is why I included the prononciation in this review. ...  Read the complete review

It is made by Givenchy of Paris and comes in a neat, ridged, clear glass bottle with a ridged gold coloured lid with an angled top. The bottle is inside a smart black box, in a word it looks classy. It has a light and refreshing fragrance so you can wear it anytime, anywhere. It is also suitable for all ages – my sister aged 35, my mother aged 73, and myself aged 46 all like it. I would describe it as a medium range perfume when it comes to the cost being about £17 ...  Read the complete review

The name givenchy is one that inspires, with tones or class, and style. The scent arm of givenchy was created in 1957, created by Hubert de Givenchy, and aided as a style icon, by Audrey Hepburn. He had established the fashion size of the business in 1952, and his designs were worn by the rich and famous. Jackie Kennedy wore a givenchy outfit to her husbands funeral.
