Givenchy is one of the great French fashion houses, and its fragrance wing has produced some of the most significant and beloved feminines of the 20th and 21st centuries. L’Interdit (1957), created by Hubert de Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn, was one of the defining moments of couture fragrance. Amarige (1991) became a defining 90s feminine. Ange ou Démon (2006) is a masterclass in contrast — its very name says everything: angel or demon, light or dark, day or night. And Live Irresistible (2015) brought the house into the contemporary era with a fragrance that perfectly captured contemporary femininity. Givenchy dupes UK are particularly popular because the house produces genuinely distinctive fragrances that stand well apart from generic designer fare.
Best Givenchy Dupes UK 2026
1. Givenchy Live Irresistible Dupe — The Modern Feminine
Live Irresistible (2015) opens with a unique caramel-peony accord that smells simultaneously warm and fresh, sweet and floral. Peony, rose and caramelised rose over white musk and woods. It’s the kind of fragrance that people notice and ask about — distinctive enough to stand out without being polarising. The caramelised-floral concept is genuinely original and executed beautifully.
Live Irresistible Blossom Crush (2017), the lighter sister, keeps the caramelised rose idea but makes it cleaner and more transparent — perfect for warmer weather and daytime wear.
Our inspired version captures that distinctive caramelised-rose character, the peony freshness, the musk warmth. One of our most commented-on feminine fragrances by UK customers.
Best for: Year-round, evenings and daytime, women who want something warm and floral but with an original twist.
2. Givenchy Gentleman Dupe — The Iris Powerhouse
Gentleman (original 1974, reimagined 2017) is built around iris — the most expensive raw material in mainstream perfumery after oud and rose. Iris powder, patchouli, bergamot and white musk create a masculine that is simultaneously soft and strong, powdery and woody. The 2017 reimagining by Dominique Ropion uses a higher concentration of iris alongside a vetiver and sandalwood base, making it one of the most sophisticated accessible masculines available.
Our inspired version captures that distinctive iris-patchouli character with the vetiver-sandalwood depth. An exceptional masculine for those who know their fragrance history.
Best for: Evenings and office, autumn and winter, men who appreciate sophisticated, iris-forward fragrances.
3. Ange ou Démon Dupe — The Contrast Feminine
Ange ou Démon (2006) is one of the most beautifully constructed feminines of the 2000s. Mandarin, black lily and white musk over ivy, jasmine and orchid, with a base of ebony, sandalwood and white amber. The contrast between light and dark is built into every layer: the white musk pushes toward angel; the black lily and ebony push toward demon. It’s dark enough to be interesting, clean enough to be wearable, complex enough to reward attention.
Our inspired version captures that distinctive light-dark contrast — the mandarin freshness, the black lily-jasmine heart, the ebony-amber depth. One of the most appreciated sophisticate feminines in our UK range.
Best for: Evenings, special occasions, autumn and winter, women who want complexity rather than simplicity.
4. Givenchy Irrésistible Dupe — The Contemporary Fresh Rose
Irrésistible (2020) is Givenchy’s most contemporary feminine: rose, rose and more rose, with freesia, pear and amber woods. It’s a modern take on the rose fragrance — bright and fresh rather than heavy and traditional, structured around the raw rose rather than the distilled or absolute. Immediately wearable, immediately recognisable, immediately loved.
Best for: Everyday wear, spring and summer, gifting, women who love modern fresh-rose fragrances.
