Gentleman
Gentleman by Givenchy is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2018 in the designer price tier. It opens with pear and cardamom, moves into iris and lavender and dries down to patchouli, vanilla and leather. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
