With its collections of men’s and women’s fashion, Maison Givenchy has been reinterpreting the codes of elegance, sophistication, and femininity since it was founded in 1952. Its style is the signature of Hubert de Givenchy, who established the eponymous Haute Couture House at the dawn of 1950s. Combining finesse, discretion and elegance, his designs played a key role in international fashion. In 1957, an expansion took place with the launch of the House’s first fragrance, L’Interdit – a symbol of the legendary friendship between Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn. Ever since then iconic creations from the Maison have continued to cultivate elegance and boldness. Bought by LVMH in 1988, the House is headquartered in Paris. Let’s check out some of the luxury brand’s iconic beauty products.
Skin Ressource Rich Cream
Givenchy has recently given its skincare collection an upgrade with Skin Ressource. This rich cream, with a soothing scent, melts into the skin to envelop it in an intensive 72-hour moisturization. Its rich texture soothes and nourishes even the driest, dehydrated skin so that it becomes nourished and plumped and also reinforcing the cutaneous barrier as well as preserving skin from the negative effects of stress. Visibly released from stress, skin radiates with a natural glow. With 96 per cent ingredients from natural origin, including the potent Beauty Moss Complex®, Givenchy Skin Ressource Rich Cream delivers profound moisture and nurturing care, deeply de-stressing every layer of your skin.

Skin Perfecto Compact Cream
With its iconic marbled texture, this on-the-go multifunction skincare-makeup hybrid Skin Perfecto Compact Cream provides 24H hydration with the hydrating, perfecting and caring properties of a face cream and UV protection with the protective qualities of SPF 30. The creamy formula enriched with vitamins and hyaluronic acid boosts and hydrates skin, which is very important because an urban, fast-paced lifestyle, pollution and sun exposure causes skin to lose its optimal capacity to produce energy. Givenchy Skin Perfecto Compact Cream gives skin a daily boost of energy, radiance and amplified UV protection with the protective qualities of SPF 30. Feeling recharged, skin is moisturised, plumped and radiant with a healthy glowing appearance while the signs of tiredness is reduced.

Hot Couture Eau de Parfum
An elegant and sparkling fragrance with a floral, warm and sensual heart accord, the luxury brand’s Hot Couture Eau de Parfum has Floral-Fruity-Spicy notes. An ode to vibrant, sensual, and passionate femininity, the fragrance opens with the fruity notes of a Raspberry Accord, melting into Indian Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute at the heart and base notes by Vetiver Essence from Haiti. Givenchy has reinvented its iconic fragrances, including Hot Couture, with a new refined bottle emblematic of the Maison’s style. Reminiscent of Hubert de Givenchy’s taste for purity with notes of orange, bergamot, raspberry, magnolia, vetiver, peppercorn, amber, musk and sandalwood, the fragrance evokes the authentic luxury steeped in the fashion designer’s talent for Haute Couture.

L’eau de Toilette Intense Gentleman
Givenchy has a line of attractive fragrances for men too. Described by the luxury brand as “the freshness of a blue Iris, the strength of generous Cedar wood”, bergamot, basil and cardamom open L’eau de Toilette Intense Gentleman with a crisp summery freshness, amplified by the sophistication of blue iris. The fragrance is intensified by cedar-wood and coumarin. Presented in a new bottle reengineered to reduce the glass weight and its environmental impact, the weight of the 100ml format has been reduced by 30 per cent. In addition, keeping with its sustainability ethos, the Maison has selected an outer-pack in cardboard made from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources. With this material, the Maison Givenchy help take care of the world’s forests.

Its creamy texture envelops the skin in an exceptional feeling of comfort, leaving a velvety finish. From the first application, wrinkles and fine lines begin visibly fading. Day after day, the eye contour’s resistance is strengthened, appears firmer and more luminous as signs of aging diminish, while the massage tool provides a unique application ritual. Whether it’s those fine lines that are slowly but visibly creeping up or those dark circles due to lack of sleep and stress—this eye cream battles it all.
