Gentleman Society Extrême

Gentleman Society Extrême by Givenchy is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2024 in the designer price tier. It opens with clary sage, peppermint and nutmeg, moves into narcissus, iris and coffee and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
• Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.
• Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.

Heart

• Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.

Dry-down

• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• 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.
