The Story & Audrey Hepburn Connection
When Hubert de Givenchy founded the fragrance branch, he drew heavy inspiration from Christian Dior’s business model. His very first fragrance creation, L'Interdit, was formulated specifically for his close friend and ultimate muse, Audrey Hepburn.
In 1958, Givenchy made advertising history by making Hepburn the official face of the campaign. This marked the first time a movie star fronted a perfume advertisement, setting the standard for the modern fragrance industry. Hepburn famously wore the scent exclusively for a full year before it was released to the public.
Evolution and LVMH Acquisition
Following the massive success of their early feminine scents and the release of their first men's fragrances—Monsieur de Givenchy and Vétiver in 1959—the brand opened a dedicated production facility in Beauvais, France.
In 1987, Parfums Givenchy was acquired by the multi-national luxury conglomerate LVMH. Hubert de Givenchy retired a few years later in 1995, but the house maintained its momentum by consistently launching breakout modern scents alongside its timeless classics.
