Pi by Givenchy

The fashion designer Givenchy dressed Audrey Hepburn and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy among his many famous clients.  He later launched a men's line and in 1999 he began offering Pi, his men's fragrance.

Pi, whose symbol is the Greek letter, is available in two strengths, Eau de Toilette (cologne) and after shave.  Eau de Toilette is the stronger of the two and there is another stronger scent called parfum, which is very concentrated and comes in a tiny bottle.  You will typically only see the Cologne or After Shave for sale.  After Shave is good for your morning regime before going to the office.  I have a bottle of spray for that. 

Cologne, or toilet water, is for a night out.  Use it sparingly as you don't want to leave a cloud, at least I don't because I find it offensive.

Like most fragrances, there is little information about the actual ingredients or process for making Pi, so we'll leave that as a mystery.  

Pi
has a refined oriental, woody, masculine fragrance. According to Givenchy's advertising, this scent contains a blend of a fresh light citrus, in combination with a strong woodsy aroma, with a low note of vanilla.

Givenchy goes on to say "Pi takes you beyond the limits." 

A 3.4 ounce bottle will set you back $40 - $50.

Oriental scents are a bit strong but this sounds nice. My son would like it. My hubby is a more traditional Adidas cologne type.
