Givenchy fragrance named top women's perfume of 2026

The Givenchy L’Enfant Terrible perfume was highlighted by the Academy of Perfume as one of the best women’s fragrances of 2026. The scent opens with Calabrian bergamot, followed by ginger, black tea, labdanum and cedar, creating a fresh, bright, slightly sweet composition that reviewers described as “a marvel” and “luxurious sensory experience.” The perfume, priced at €290, earned enthusiastic reviews from Fragrantica users, who praised its clean, citrus‑laden profile and suitability for spring‑summer wear.

The award process involved more than fifty specialized journalists voting across multiple sessions, with final deliberations slated for October. Other finalists included Aerin Les Jardins Botaniques Wisteria (Estée Lauder), Atelier des Fleurs Cedrus Intense (Chloé) and L’Enfant Terrible (Givenchy).
