Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée

Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée by Givenchy presents a refined, woody-iris fragrance with a subtle cocoa note that gives it a warm, slightly gourmand character. The opening features a bright, spicy blend of black pepper, coriander, and geranium, which dissolves into a smooth, buttery iris heart marked by a delicate cocoa sweetness. The dry-down reveals a quietly elegant composition dominated by sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar, lending a slightly dusty, creamy warmth that lingers with quiet confidence. It’s mature and polished—ideal for cold seasons or formal wear—where its refined, modern character complements masculine elegance without overdominance. Despite strong accolades for its scent quality, the fragrance's performance is uneven: while it receives strong approval for its scent, many users note that it projects moderately, with a sillage that quickly recedes to a close-kin proximity after the first hour. Longevity is generally rated as decent, lasting 6–8 hours on skin or up to 10 hours on fabric. However, some users express dismay at the lack of projection, especially in cooler weather, while others report actual performance improvements after a few weeks of maceration. Overall, Boisée stands out as a sophisticated, balanced, and deeply wearable fragrance, best appreciated by those who value elegance over intensity and are willing to accept a quieter profile in exchange for high-quality scent evolution.
