Got a bottle of Givenchy Insensé. I thought it was a bit overrated at first (it is) because the sharp florals give a very cleaning product scent. Once it settles down however I can see why some people rate it so highly. The opening shifts a lot, from citrusy to purple florals, it's all a tiny bit sweet but never too much so. The mild sweetness just complements it like what you get from juicy fruits and fresh flowers without feeling excessive. As the notes develop and shift there are some that are great and some that are less so. I can't pinpoint exactly but there is some sharpness that feels a bit cheap and a little much. There is however this creamy elegant floral note with the smallest amount of powderyness that is very elegant and relaxing. It's the best parts of each listed flower note, the fresh verdant bloom of lily of the valley, the intoxicating syrup of magnolia, and the powderyness of iris. It all becomes one. Thankfully after shifting between its different notes the fragrance does settle into its best one, helped by the fir to give it some relaxing piney scent. Insensé doesn't scream brutish masculinity but at no point is there ever a question of its masculinity even with the strong floral notes, it's quite confident. It's probably best suited for a cool spring day but I would love to try it on a cozy Christmas night. It's very comforting. It reminds me of the Escada PH I mentioned on the previous thread because you have to endure some outdated smelling notes before getting to the fantastic elegant base. The performance of Insensé is quite decent but does not meet modern expectations. The projection is decent at best for a couple of minutes before becoming real personal. It lasts a couple hours but it's definitely something you can smell on yourself but would not reach those around you. It's a bit more sophisticated than I am but I can see someone wanting to be known by this scent.
