Perfums Givenchy (French pronunciation: [paʁfœ̃ ʒivɑ̃ʃi]) is a French brand of Perfumes and Cosmetics.
Givenchy was founded in 1952 by designer Hubert de Givenchy, who retired in 1995. Known first for his haute couture fashion, Monsieur de Givenchy founded Les Parfums Givenchy in 1957.
Les Parfums Givenchy were associated with a purported meeting of Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn, an American filmstar. This was supposed to represent the "Givenchy style", in which French elegance meets American glamour in a combination of sophistication and modernity.
Hubert de Givenchy created his first fragrance, L'Interdit, in homage to what he regarded as the delicate, romantic, big-hearted femininity of Audrey Hepburn, who was also the most famous patron of the brand.
Other famous patrons include the Guinness, Grimaldi and Kennedy families, who famously wore Givenchy clothes to the funeral of John F. Kennedy.
