Pi Original Code by Givenchy: A Woody Oriental Built Around Vanilla
Pi Original Code by Givenchy is a Woody Oriental for men that arrived in 2006. The nose behind it is Alberto Morillas.
The composition plays fresh against warm: an aromatic, herb-led opening gives way to a mellow, sweet drydown built round vanilla, almond and tonka bean.
At the top you will find mandarin, basil, rosemary and tarragon. The mandarin offers citrus and fruity lift, while the herbs lend an aromatic, coolly spiced freshness.
With no middle notes declared, the scent moves promptly towards its base. That unhurried but direct passage from green to sweet shapes much of its charm.
The base brings together vanilla, almond, tonka bean, benzoin and cedar. Vanilla and tonka supply vanilla-led, sweet amber comfort, almond contributes a nutty softness, benzoin adds balmy resin, and cedar provides a restrained woody frame.
The prevailing accords are vanilla, aromatic, almond, amber and sweet, with fresh-spiced, fruity, nutty, citrus and woody undertones. Rated 4.11 out of 5 from 36 ratings, it remains a well-liked pick for lovers of mellow, sweet orientals.
It will suit those who enjoy gentle, sweet orientals, particularly anyone keen on vanilla, almond and amber balanced by a green, herbal opening.
In short, Pi Original Code is an easy-going woody oriental: lively at first, then smooth and sweet, bearing Morillas's polished touch. One to consider if you favour vanilla settled over cedar and benzoin.
