Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense is a sweet, spicy men's scent that links a sharp opening of black pepper, birch leaf and green mandarin to the warmth of leather, patchouli and tonka bean.

What does Gentlemen Only Intense smell like?

The opening carries a dry, slightly green edge from black pepper and birch leaf, softened by the fruity green mandarin. In the heart, Texas cedar, patchouli and leather build a woody, leathery core, while tonka bean, amber and frankincense sweeten it and pull it towards a powdery, oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, night out and business are the occasions named most often. It reads mostly masculine. It has been discontinued. Armani Code Profumo and Sapil Bound for Men have a close profile.
