What does Gentleman Givenchy Réserve Privée smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters call it masculine and classic.

The top pairs whisky with bergamot for a sweet, spicy warmth. In the heart, Siam benzoin, chestnut and iris turn it powdery and creamy. Patchouli, vetiver and Virginia cedar build a woody base. Dior Dior Homme Intense and Lattafa Khamrah have a close profile.
