Romain Spitzer, Givenchy Parfums CEO, said: “Rooney is a captivating actress with a remarkable talent. Her committed and generous personality, elegant look and radiating intensity perfectly reflect the world of the new fragrance she will embody from Autumn 2018 onwards. We are very much looking forward to working with her.”
