by Givenchy
Gentleman Eau de Toilette Intense by Givenchy presents a refined, aromatic woody fragrance with a distinct iris-forward profile that strikes a balance between fresh, sweet, and sensual notes. The opening features a vibrant burst of basil, cardamom, and bergamot, lending a spicy, herbal freshness that softly evolves into a creamy, powdery iris heart. Cypress and cedar underpin the composition with a clean, slightly earthy green character, while coumarin adds a subtle vanilla-like sweetness that smoothes the dry down. Longevity is strong—over seven hours on skin and significantly longer on clothing—and projection remains moderate to strong for the first few hours, creating a warm, confident aura without overwhelming. The scent is especially suited to cooler days, with spring, autumn, and winter being the most favored seasons. It blends well in office and casual settings, offering a refined, sophisticated presence without being overly bold. While some users report a rubbery or baby-wipe-like note in the dry down, these reactions are rare and not universally shared. Most agree the fragrance offers a seamless, elegant evolution, making it ideal for mature men seeking a wearable, signature scent with broad appeal.
