Givenchy Lovely Prism ~ new fragrance
Givenchy's Lovely Prism, which launched last year as a travel-retail exclusive perfume, is now being released into "regular" retail at sephora.fr (although do note that it has been available at the online discounters in the US for some time). The fragrance is a green fruity floral created by perfumer Marc Buxton, and is designed to have 3 facets: citrus, floral and woods. The notes include green apple, cassis, clementine, peony, magnolia, apple blossom, hawthorne, sandalwood and iris. (via sephora.fr & aufeminin)
The container reminds me a bit of Versace's “Bright Crystal”. Givenchy never works on me, but I'm still curious enough to smell this.
I smelled it yesterday and I must say it's not so bad. I had a bad feeling before, but I think it's a nice and interesting combination. Not dark and mysteroius like other Buxton's creation but 'pas mal du tout'.

I still adore Eau de Givenchy, but none of their newer scents have captured my heart. Will give this one a try…
I will try it, although I truly detest green apple in fragrance.
