Gentleman Intense
Gentleman Intense by Givenchy is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, cardamom and basil, moves into iris and cypress and dries down to cedarwood and coumarin. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Coumarin Hay, almond and vanilla in one molecule. The heart of every fougère.
