Amarige is a bold, opulent white-floral fragrance with a bright and radiant character — described by many as bursting into a bouquet of flowers, joyful and with a maritime summer-evening sensibility.

It was introduced in 1991 by Givenchy, created by perfumer Dominique Ropion.

The name “Amarige” is an anagram of the French word mariage (meaning marriage) — evoking union, celebration, and radiance.
