Founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, the company that went on to carry his name has become a global giant in the fashion, accessories and fragrance world! With a list of fine fragrance releases as long as my arm (the first of which was launched in 1957), Givenchy hang on to a big slice of the fragrance market with a handful of their classics – one of which is the Alberto Morillas creation of 1998, called Pi.

Pi – whilst marketed to men – is loved by both sexes for its delectable vanilla / almond composition which leaves a steady string of 'sweet-tooths' swooning in its wake. A woody oriental for men, Pi combines accords of tangerine, tarragon, anise, rosemary, geranium and basil with sensuous notes of vanilla, tonka bean, almond, pine needles and benzoin. The sum of these components makes for a luscious fragrance that one just longs to cuddle up to. Presented in a beautiful monolithic triangular flacon, Pi is a classic cologne that must be revisited by both ladies and gents. (Lovers of Laura Biagiotti's Roma and Paloma Picasso's Minotaure will find a common thread here).

Toothsome, addictive and gratifying, Pi is the ideal scent for an autumn/winter date night!

The eternal marriage of evergreens and spices, Clinique's Aromatics Elixir has been wooing the world for more than 40 years! A delicious scent with a dry, almost bitter understated elegance, this is a captivating aromatic floral chypre that feels oh so timeless and sophisticated! If you're a fan of the classics, then Aromatics Elixir is definitely your jam! Opening with an abundance of greens – sage, verbena and bergamot - this perfume smacks of summer warmth. A huff of springtime flowers like orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang and rose form the dense floral nucleus of this composition... these notes are steeped in brisk, leafy emerald facets which simmer gently over a dry, slightly woody and mossy chypre base. Complex and commanding, Aromatics Elixir has infinite presence, and a little goes a long way. Its sillage and persistence are well above average; with the basenotes often still dancing on skin the morning after.

An oratorio to all things feminine, this scent is mature and considered, and is perhaps best worn for days or nights out. It feels both diurnal and nocturnal, so you can have your cake and eat it too! Just tread lightly if using it in the workplace – this elixir is bombastic, and is certain to leave a lasting impression.
