What does Gentleman Givenchy (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, followed by spring, while summer gets very few votes. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, with some room for business and daily wear. Voters mostly find its character masculine.

Black pepper's spice and lavender come first. In the heart, iris pallida and tolu balm push it in a floral, creamy direction. Patchouli and vanilla anchor the base with sweetness and an oriental warmth. Initio Rehab and Mugler A*Men Pure Tonka have a close profile.
