by Giorgio Beverly Hills
Giorgio for Men is a bold, powerfully projecting fragrance that captures the essence of 1980s masculinity with its intense blend of honey, patchouli, and woody notes. It opens with a sharp, aldehydic burst followed by a dense, sweet-herbal heart that lingers with surprising elegance. The scent evolves into a warm, powdery dry-down featuring vanilla, tonka bean, and a subtle earthy mossiness, giving it a refined, slightly soapy character that belies its loudness. Longevity is excellent—commonly lasting 8 to 10 hours—while sillage remains robust for the first few hours. Despite reformulation, it maintains its classic structure and delivers an affordable, high-impact experience. It’s best suited for cooler seasons and wears best in casual or semi-formal settings, though its potency demands careful application. The bottle, with its distinctive yellow and white striped design, reinforces its retro identity. While some find it overly synthetic or too sweet, many appreciate its authenticity, vintage charm, and bold character, making it a dependable choice for lovers of old-school, high-impact masculine fragrances.
