Insensé Ultramarine
Insensé Ultramarine by Givenchy is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 1994 in the designer price tier. It opens with watermelon, blackcurrant and bergamot, moves into galbanum and sage and dries down to cedarwood and vetiver. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Watermelon Watery, sugary and very summery. Can read a bit sweet-shop.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
