Givenchy Pi: A Fragrance for the Eternal Explorer
Givenchy’sPi—an exceptional oriental woody perfume—resonates deeply with eternal explorers and enthusiasts of sensual olfactory experiments. Housed in a geometric bottle defined by impeccably clean lines, it holds a woody, sensuous scent that balances warmth and freshness.
At the opening, bright notes of basil, rosemary, tarragon, and neroli infuse vitality into its predominantly warm, oriental composition. At its core, a prominent Guaiac wood note takes center stage, harmonizing beautifully with the creamy, balsamic undertones of vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin resin. Crafted by renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas in 1998, Pi remains a standout in Givenchy’s fragrance lineage.
This iconic scent has spawned several successors, most of which retain its signature bottle design—with the notable exception of the 2008Pi Neo, a modern, futuristic reimagining. It’s worth noting that the original Pi bottle was the vision of designer Serge Mansau.
