CreamyWhat does Gentleman Givenchy Cologne smell like?
Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and the most chosen settings are daily wear, leisure and business. It reads masculine to most voters, with modern and classic votes following.
It opens with rosemary, lemon and bergamot, bright and clean. In the heart, iris adds a floral, powdery and creamy softness. Musk and vetiver in the base leave a woody, green trail as it dries down quietly.
