What does Givenchy Gentleman (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Tarragon and cinnamon open cool and spicy. In the heart, Haitian vetiver and Indonesian patchouli add an earthy, woody note, while Russian leather leaves a smoky, animal edge at the base. Floral and sweet touches soften it a little.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and works at the office too. Voters mostly call it masculine and classic.
