Gentleman Only
Givanchy re-released the legendary fragrance from 1974 in 2013, making it sparkle with new colors. The creators of the fragrant novelty left the characteristic sound, but instilled in it the spirit of modernity. Even the original design of the bottle has been preserved: a strict classic bottle with a weighted bottom and a laconic label. Nothing superfluous, real asceticism and aesthetics.
Gentleman Only presents a man who suits Givenchy as a real dandy: sophisticated, well-mannered, knowing hisdignity. Each of his actions is filled with meaning, he does not throw words into the wind.
How does this real gentleman's perfume sound? The top notes of the fragrance open with the freshness of green mandarin, spiced with pink pepper and nutmeg, followed by a more masculine chord of birch leaves. At the heart of the composition, woody notes become more intense with white cedar, vetiver and patchouli. Finishing accords close to leather are incense and musk.
A little sweet at first, but gradually it opens up and a slight sourness appears, giving way to thick woody notes. The pyramid is built very competently, all transitions are soft, not irritating to the nose.
Gentleman Only Intensity
In 2014, a new men's fragrance from the Givenchy fashion house appeared. "Gentleman Only Intense" became a flanker of the successful perfume released a year earlier.
The signature design of the bottle has been preserved, only the color of the glass has changed: the transparent blue has been replaced by a subtle gradient from gray to black.
The main top notes remain, but the pink pepper has been replaced with a spicier black pepper. In the heart, patchouli is complemented by notes of tanned leather and Texas cedar. The base combines tonka bean, incense and amber.
The fragrance has become richer and deeper, but at the same time it is soft, noble and slightly velvety.
Gentleman Only Casual Chic
Continues the men's line "Gentleman Only"("Givenchy") is another flanker released by the fashion house in 2015.
The design of the bottle is back to its original design with a playful orange vertical stripe.
The perfume pyramid has undergone significant changes. The top notes reveal a fresh-spicy combination of ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and juniper, with an almost imperceptible geranium accord adding a touch of sweetness. In the heart, the extravaganza of spices is balanced by calm woody notes (birch leaf and white cedar) and mint-lavender freshness. The base adds fashionable ambroxan, a touch of vanilla sweetness, smoky vetiver and the warmth of sandalwood. The result is a delicious woody-spicy composition suitable for daily wear.
Gentlemen Only Parisian Break
Another flanker of the almost classic perfume "Gentleman Only" ("Givenchy"). The new fragrance for 2016 bears no resemblance to the original version, it has taken on a completely new sound.
The top notes are a kind of hymn to freshness and energy: the combination of mint and lemon is very bright and rich. Only one chord dominates in the heart - sage, which is smoothly replaced by sparkling prickly notes of ambroxan and vetiver.
The scent is light, summery, with medium longevity. It will appear in Russia only in the spring.
