Garçon Manqué

How come no one reviewed this masterpiece? I mean it's been weeks and I've been looking for proper YT reviews or fragrantica reviews but none so far! I actually use fragrantica a lot but I had to register just to type this review and probably stick forever since I started already. Though this collection has been out for more than 6 months now, it didn't receive the hype it somehow deserves. Garçon Manque is a leather fragrance as mentioned but the chemistry between the leather in it with the other ingredients is the cherry on the top, it is definitely not overwhelming for women to wear as the name suggests (garçon manque = tomboy) and yes there is a teeny tiny slight similarity to other known leather fragrances like Tom Ford Tuscan leather and ombre leather and even Bronze wood and leather by Jo Malone but the similarity only lies on the leather note, the fragrance is completely different and complex, idk how to describe it but it is truly addicting and not a common scent. (considering that I'm a huge gourmand aficianado and typically a vanilla note fan, this perfume is the only one that truly captivated me though it includes nothing from my fav notes) Longevity 8.5/10 easily, you spray it on clothes it might last a day (or 2+ if it's kept in a wardrobe with no airflow or other strong scents like food and incense) Sillage is moderate to great but since the smell itself is strong and unique it could be applied in a certain way to increase Sillage Also the whole concept of the possibility of laying the Accord perfume in this Givenchy collection with any of the other perfumes is quite nice but the star is Garçon Manque in my humble opinion, I liked it the most along Enflamme and Sans Merci (Accord is quite nice as well) All in all Garçon Manque is a revolution when it comes to female perfumes (well, unisex since now everyone wears whatever they want and no one can say anything about it) but this one is a leather that is wearable to even those girls who prefer their sweet and light floral scents.

Modern leather fragrance, with light fruity and floral twist, making it quite unisex, if not feminine leaning, would smell great on a woman, but as a guy, I find absolutely no issue wearing this. There is a peachy vibe to the fruit, bringing the slight tartness that makes this any season, any time wearable, except for high heat. The light floral from the osmanthus blends perfectly into the leather, smoothening out the harsh edges if any. Good performance, medium projection and sillage, with great longevity. Could easily be seen as an Ombre Leather flanker, but the leather is in between a leather factory and smooth suede. Not animalic, if that’s a concern to anyone.

This is so confusing I love it! Was not sure what it is when my friend wore it and passed by, first I thought it was fruity then suddenly it was smoky and leather then I notice its fruity, smokey and leather and thats when I fell in love with it. If you like to blind buy then blind buy this one with confidence. Though I still think its a bit overpriced.

Very similar to cuir intense de guerlain, but in a more wearable way if that makes sense. This perfume is very well blended, not overwhelming at all. Perfectly unisex . A safe blind buy for anyone who enjoys leather scents

Hi I registered here and expected to find what I needed! I am very curious to know the perfumer for this particular perfume. He deserves to be commended, honored and appreciated for this great fragrance 👑
