Givenchy Xeryus Rouge Eau de Toilette 100ml is a warm, oriental-spicy fragrance for men, launched in 1995 and signed by perfumer Annick Ménardo. A bright opening of Chinese orange, cactus and tarragon leads into a peppery heart of pimento, African geranium and cedar, before settling into a smooth, sensual base of sandalwood, cedar and white musk — a deeper, more sensual reinterpretation of the original Xeryus from 1986.
About Givenchy
Givenchy was founded in Paris in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy and is one of the most iconic French haute couture and beauty houses. The fragrance line, produced under the brand's own beauty division, has long focused on classical, well-tailored compositions. Xeryus Rouge brings the original Xeryus DNA into a more contemporary, slightly spicier register — instantly recognisable by its deep red flacon.

Who it's for
Xeryus Rouge suits men looking for a polished, slightly mature daily signature with a spicy-woody character and a sensual drydown. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, comfortable for date-night, dinner and casual evening contexts, and pairs naturally with smart-casual or tailored dressing. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme or Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Night will recognise the territory.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two to three sprays balance well; the sandalwood-and-musk drydown develops over the first hour and rewards a moderate hand.
