Gentleman Givenchy in detail
Gentleman Givenchy Eau de Parfum is a woody floral with balsamic accents by Givenchy, the house founded in Paris in 1952. The official page gives neither the year nor the perfumer; the line's other versions, with different notes, are not described here.
Sharp pepper and aromatic lavender open the composition. In the heart, powdery orris warms up against soft, vanilla-like Peru balsam, for a heart both delicate and warm. The base pairs woody patchouli with a black vanilla, rendered as vanilla, which adds a gourmand touch.
Gentleman Givenchy is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a masculine orris, elegant and warm, for those who love powdery woods.
Three niche woody fragrances in our catalogue share several of its materials: 1996 by Byredo brings together pepper, orris, patchouli and vanilla; Modoc by Xerjoff pairs orris, lavender, patchouli and vanilla; Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne combines orris, vanilla and patchouli.
