Gentleman by Givenchy Eau de Parfum For Men 100ml

Product Information

Those who are looking for a good, very close gourman should in any case apply Givenchy Gentleman edp very generously and then wait 24-36 hours. Remains of powdery iris and smoky-sweet vanilla/benzoin notes then create a first-class chord of still warm, freshly roasted almonds! Always redefining elegance, Gentleman Society gathers a new community built around a multi-faceted and resolutely forward-thinking understanding of masculinity. Striving towards creativity and authenticity, its members share values of respect, open-mindedness and an edgy, contemporary spirit. Together, they reinvent the rules to inspire a unifying fragrance, unlike any other. Givenchy invites you to join the Gentleman Society. It’s not a place, it’s a state of mind. Absolute of Narcissus (France), Essence of Vetiver (Haïti), CO2 Vetiver Extract (Haïti), Essence of Vetiver (Uruguay), Organic Essence of Vetiver (Madagascar) The top note directly inspires me with a lively lavender note, which immediately recedes after a short but strong solo appearance and harmonizes wonderfully softly with dry powdery iris, fresh pepper and a light vanilla sweetness. Soon lavender and pepper weaken somewhat and are replaced by strong smoky-balsamic notes, which dominate the fragrance over the next few hours. This is accompanied by a clear, yet playful-light, almost icing sugar-like, vanilla sweetness. Unfortunately, these two "scents" are a bit too suddenly next to each other for my taste, instead of forming a round whole. This gentleman has corners and edges. Not least due to the appearance of a very distinguished patchouli, the fragrance now becomes increasingly softer, darker, drier and sweeter. Occasionally I think I can still detect remnants of pepper.

Does a gentleman Givenchy still need to be in the collection if you already have another powder scent? No, unless you're, like me, a fan of this scent DNA. All four are different, even if only in nuances, and have their raison d'être:

By the way you don't have to wear a suit to wear this fragrance, it is enough to be dressed a little casually. Gentleman's adapting pretty well.

I grew up with the 1974 original scent, which has absolutely nothing in common with this one except the name. The old one a somewhat rough, herbal, leathery patchouli whip with testicles, big as tennis balls, this newcomer rather Mister Kuschel-Bieber. Crafted with exceptional raw materials, Gentleman Society is emblematic of Givenchy’s unique savoir-faire. Aromatic top notes of fresh Sage combine with the floral notes of Wild Narcissus absolute, harvested in the heart of France. This blossoming effusion contrasts with the mysterious intensity of a Vetiver quartet harvested in Madagascar and Uruguay. The warmth of Vanilla melts with Sandalwood and Cedarwood essences to create the addictive base of this sophisticated men’s aftershave, leaving a memorable trail behind. A long-wearing, deep and multifaceted Eau de Parfum.

Well, anyway, I would definitely recommend to test it, but it's best to test it when it cools down again, i.e. from autumn on, because such scents could be rather exhausting on warm days. Then it would be usable for everyday life as well as good for going out.
