November 26, 2020: Givenchy’s new perfume collection, La Collection Particulière, sports a minimalist rectilinear design, topped with a sleek black cap and a label inspired by haute couture.
Each fragrance has a distinctive personality. Even then, Accord Particulier, the keystone of the collection, can be mixed and matched with other perfumes such as the woody Trouble-Fête, the natural Sans Artifice, the sensual Peur de Rien, the vivacious Oiseau Rare, the bold Indompté, the determined Sans Merci, the disquieting Garçon Manqué or the surprising Enflammé, thus giving a layering effect.
“You have your own style, personality. Accentuate them. And if you have a favorite perfume, cherish it. Because it’s a part of you,” Hubert de Givenchy, founder of the eponymous Couture house, had once said.
Layered with another fragrance, Givenchy’s new collection creates the sensorial harmony that is equally difficult to achieve in both music and scents. This layering also embodies the feel and spirit of Hubert de Givenchy’s very first collection in 1952, the Seperable.
Coordinating seemingly disparate or opposite elements has always been a source of creativity for the Couture house. When Indompté is paired with Accord Particulier, the notes of mandarin and amber oud take on an entirely new luminosity. With its major chord built from Damascena rose, Patchouli essence, Haitian vetiver and Ambrox, Accord Particulier heightens the intensity of the initial fragrance.
The perfumes can be personalised by replacing the 4G logo with engraved initials on a gold or silver plate, an animal print, or a marble pattern. With the La Collection Particulière, everyone can now express the myriad facets of their own personality.
