Description
Givenchy launched its good-mood fragrance Live Irresistible in July 2015 in the concentration of Eau de Parfum. The fragrance has opened a new sub-collection of the Very Irresistible line, which expands with the new Live Irresistible Eau de Toilette edition in the spring of 2016.
The new Eau de Toilette represents a refreshing interpretation of its predecessor. It is announced as a playful, mischievous and fresh-explosive cocktail of fun. The composition is floral – fruity starting with pear granita, raspberry and pineapple. Rose forms the heart of the perfume, mixed with pimento and red berry juice. The base ends with notes of blonde wood and musk.
The face of the perfume is actress Amanda Seyfried. The fragrance is available as a 40 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Ropion.

This is such a fun, sweet and lovely perfume. I remember that I loved it right away when I first tried it. It was at the beginning at my fragrance journey. I tested it at the same evening with a Hanae Mori perfume and immediately loved both as they are so delicious. By then I just discovered the world of gourmand perfumes. I felt so happy, only wished I knew about their existance earlier :). Now I still love it and find that it has a great uplifting and happy quality to it. It also has good performance. It’s fruity, but sticks on your skin for quite some time.

More berries version of the original. Rather light. Nothing special.

I definitely enjoy this flanker much much better than its EDP version. It provides me pretty much what I’m interested in, some gourmand fruity florally sweetness (but not overly sweet), some “spice” (from pepper but not too much), soft musky woody dry down, and of course the freshness (without too much of patchouli interference). I detected pineapple from the opening, but it did not turn into an “odd” and unbearable scent when combined with a strong pepper, as in the EDP. Whatever was “off putting” and “unbalanced” in the EDP, actually gets “improved” and “fixed” in this EDT. I really like the dry down here as I get to enjoy the pepper note mixing up with musk and wood as a nice, and sort of a freshly warm undertone. I like peppery fragrances, but find that note is rather “sharp” and the composition of the scents is “too linear”/”too light” for my taste in Givenchy Hot Couture EDP and EDT. Overall, Givenchy Live Irrésitible EDT works out just great for me, as I expected.

I can’t believe so few people own this fragrance! It’s so wonderful! It is a very refreshing scent. I get raspberry, a citrusy tang from the lemon and grapefruit plus the pineapple is very noticeable. It is sweet but not cloying at all. When it drys down the praline melds with the fruit making it a bit warm. I sense the pepper which doesn’t overpower anything but adds a little kick to the overall scent. The lasting power is great for an edt. The bottle is adorable and matches the liquid it holds perfectly. If you are into refreshing fruity fun scents I would recommend giving this a try, it’s a love for me!!

In my never ending quest to find my beloved Escada Tropical Punch, I tested this at ULTA, today. I’m happy to say I have found a close replacement. This is a melange of fruit with Pineapple and Raspberries, at the forefront, with a twist of gourmand notes in the middle and dry down. I also get the Dahlia Divin Le Nectar DNA in there, too, with the Peach and Patchouli. I hope to use up my 1.3 oz bottle before Summer ends.

This was intense like bordering on love at first spray and I am shooketh, LOL! Tried the original (EDP?) Live Irresistible a few months ago and hated it–it turned into a pineapple/pepper mess to my nose and so I’ve been ignoring the whole Givenchy Live Irresistible line ever since. I saw this bottle at Ulta and after realizing it was different, took a chance on smelling it. I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet vibe coming from the paper blotter I sprayed it on and actually sprayed it on me, which is something I rarely do since most perfumes don’t move me to do so. It smelled even sweeter on skin, but I liked the sweetness so much I almost bought it on the spot. I decided to let it settle on me, though, since scents have a tendency to ‘turn’ on me after some time and when I got in the car where my mom was waiting for me, she said I smelled like candy. 🙂 A couple of hours later, she caught a whiff of it and said, “Wow, that smells good,” and I had to concur with her. This really developed nicely on me turning into a warm, fruity/candy sweet ‘pink’ scent that doesn’t smell juvenile. In many ways, it reminds me of Jimmy Choo L’eau, but with more ‘body’ and obvious sweetness to it. With two good sprays on my wrists it radiated nicely around me for about three full hours and now, 8 hours later, it is a delicious cotton candy toned skin scent. I think this is going to be a full bottle buy for me, but I’ve ordered a 3ml sample to give it more of a trial run as the weather warms up. Keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll continue to have success with this scent!
EDIT: bought an adorable splash on mini of this and I’m still strongly liking this scent. There is a slight pencil shavings vibe to it (the white woods note I’m assuming), but it’s nothing off-putting. Still smells fresh, pink and quite office-appropriate as it is light, but noticeable. If I sniff directly on my wrists where I dabbed, I get the lemon and LOTV, notes that I typically strongly dislike, but here it’s not too bad. I suspect that as this dries down, the lemon/LOTV will dissipate even more and the spray seemingly doesn’t feature the lemon/LOTV notes as strongly as the dab-on. Will likely get a full bottle soon…

This is the first perfume I have ever owned and love it. It is very sweet and I smell notes of pear and pineapple almost immediately. I can wear this day and night time. I tend to enjoy sweeter scents so I am not surprised by how much I enjoy wearing this. Reading comments, it seems that people who don’t like it complain that it is TOO sweet. However, for me, it is perfect. I feel like this last longer than other perfumes I have tried so I am quite impressed. Unlike others, it doesn’t turn into a musky scent overtime. It really keeps its beautiful sweet smell!
MadFox – :
Even sweeter than the EDP. While the EDP is similar to LPRN, this smells like some Escada concoction but way way sweeter. If you expect that kind of sweetness like in LVEB or Mon Paris, you will be disappointed. Not classy. Pass.
P.S. The official pyramid:
TOP: pear granita, crispy green apple, acidulous raspberry
HEART: rose essentielle™ LMR, pimento berry LMR
BASE : powdery musks, light woods

I tried it at the department store. This just went all kinds of wrong on me. I definitely do not have the chemistry for it. It turned into a gigantic peppery musk unwashed animal bomb on me. Then it goes down to a synthetic wood. kudos to others that can make this work.

OK, I have been wearing this all week and I am in LOVE!!!
If Miss Dior Cherie & Chipie EDP & Lancome La Nuit Tresor L’Eau de Toilette & YSL Mon Paris & Givenchy Delicieuse had a baby, this would be it!!!
I do smell patchouli, cherry, almond as well that are not listed as the notes….. I am in LOVE!!!
BashOrgRu – :
I wore this all week end and I like it without loving it. I would describe it, if it makes any sense, as a soapy/fruity/gourmand scent. It is very lively and cheerful, but with a definite soapy vibe. There is a note that slightly disturb me and I wasn’t able to put my finger on it. Now that I re-read the notes here, I think it is the pimento. I’d be curious to smell this without the pimento. Anyway. However, as most Givenchy scents, the longevity and sillage are poor on me, which is very sad. And, once again, the bottle is a masterpiece. Very simple, with the shape of your usual Givenchy bottles, but very, very classy and elegant.

It’s the first time I’m trying it and it’s not a carefully done observation.I love live irresistible edp and I like edt one a lot too
When I first sprayed it I could smell lots of strawberry blended with a cheerful fruityfloral and something very sweet.there’s no strawberry here so it must be raspberry.I couldn’t pickup other notes separately but I could get a musky,powdery rose somewhere in the background.combination of Musky rose and raspberry reminded me miss dior absolutely blooming.I felt it’s a love child of live irresistible edp and miss dior absolutely blooming so no wonder I love it
Longevity seems to be very good I sprayed a single spray 8 hours ago and it’s still pretty strong and most perfumes don’t stay on my skin more than 4-5 hours.sillage is good too.all in all I find it a mood lifter.youthful,delightful,delicious,superfeminine.gentle and potent at the same time if it makes sense
It’s among my top wantlist
halim – :
even stronger than the eau de parfum and it is a dupe for killian playing with the devil, very , very sweet punch meh
fierykiss – :
I love love love this! its so sweet and delicious! it smells like a mix of Miss dior cherie and La vie est belle, the longevity is really good too! Perfect!

Well, this does look like and even kind of smell like something a teen or early-20-something would wear. Sweet and light. Normally I shy away from the fragrances I feel are more geared towards the young gals. But this one is light and not heavily/overly sweet. This is quite soft. The floral (rose) in this is definitely detectable to me and draws this into a wearable fragrance without feeling like a sugary girly-girl candy bomb. I see some reviewers mentioning this being cloying, but I do not find it cloying. It is airy, sweet yet soft with a touch of floral. Feminine without being ‘little girl’. Very nice for a Spring or Summer casual day. I don’t think this smells like cotton candy, but I can see how some might think so. To me it is just light, airy, soft, sweet with a touch of floral. I find this more of a classy sweet fragrance, not a cloying one.

Este perfume es exquisito !!!! ideal para el verano, fresco y frutal ! lo recomiendo para todas las edades.
lzk256Negeltzex – :
Rosy and generic fruity. Or at least I couldn’t pick out the individual fruits. It’s very turkish delight overall. It has a picture of candy floss (cotton candy for those of you across the pond) on the cardboard sleeve so I’m guessing you’re supposed to get that kind of vibe from it. Very light gourmand, something to gift to teenagers but which might impress them by being sophisticated and not a ‘sleb frag. I personally don’t like the dull knobbly glass bottle.

I’m not much for fruity scents, but this one kind of took me by surprise. I tried a sample and was basking in pleasant notes of pear, pineapple and sweet raspberry for the next couple hours. I get a hint of floral, but I don’t detect much rose or woody/musky notes coming from this fragrance, which is a shame considering how sweet it is. I like sweet fragrances but I’d prefer a little more balance here. That said, it’s still a pleasant fragrance, and not cloying if sprayed conservatively. Sillage and longevity are both moderate, but the dry down takes a while to mellow out the sweetness. My favorite part is actually a couple hours into the dry down, as it warms to a very lovely skin scent with just a hint of spice in the background. It’s a great scent for summer – young and playful.
PaubbokyNub – :
I thought this would be a toned down version of the EDP, but really either my nose is worst than I thought, or the difference is just very very mild. This is overpowering sweet just like the EDP, floral sweet and cloying. I love the dry down on this, it’s one of those rare perfumes where I actually like the dry down more than the initial notes, the problem is that the initial intense sweetness takes a lot (around 2 hours) to calm down. This is the kind of perfume that I don’t like smelling in others, on me I actually thought it was lovely after the first two hours and had amazing sillage and longevity for an EDT, but who can stand two hours of overwhelming sweetness?
chi4p – :
This is good as I expected. It’s a sweet fruity pineapple scent. Similar to the EDP version, only I can’t sense rose that intensively.
It’s a nice scent, great for spring and summer.
Reminds me of canned pineapple and pineapple juice.
I think it’s quite light, not overwhelming in any way.
Very good!
BORODA1953 – :
Easy to wear, nice light fresh juicy scent, sweet…in a fruity way…not candy…likeable for sure and easy to wear in summery weather! I like it. But I prefer the original, it has more character…EDT is young, fun, uplifting, nothing wrong with it !!! Longevity isn’t great though…the base is warmer, but lacks punch..still. Lovely spring /summer scent.
bulat37 – :
Cheerful, fruity cocktail, very sweet, but not a sugar bomb like LVEB. A hint of spice makes it teasing and sexy. Perfect clubbing scent and very nice scent for a girl next door, too.

I’ve got a nose like a bloodhound, and I’ve worn La Vie Est Belle since its launch. I KNOW La Vie Est Belle – yet if you gave me a test strip of Live Irresistible, I would insist it’s La Vie Est Belle. Live Irrésistible’s bottle is beautiful, which is the reason I tested it, but it smells so much like La Vie on me, it actually made me mad. I think there’s a slight note of pineapple that makes the two formulas different, but why do marketers have to be such copy-cats?
gcw133elipseskism – :
I adore this. It’s such an uplifting scent, light, sweet and juicy at the same time. Like cotton candy and pink lemonade. On my skin, it also has a long life for an EDT. I prefer this version to EDP, because the raspberry here is warm and spicy like in my beloved Hot Couture EDT. I usually don’t go for sweet scents, but this one is my must-have for this spring and I hope the bottle to stay a lot longer than one season.
driver02 – :
Such a pretty light spring like fragrance.
Softly sweet and delicate scent which lasts long on my skin. Close to the skin sillage.

So many flankers, so little time. Who told them we need a new one every few months?
