Gentlemen Only Casual Chic

The inspiration was the casual and refined style of the relaxed man, who is full of good manners, which is represented both by the way he dresses and acts. For that, the fragrance needed to contain elements that resulted in a versatile product, ideal to be worn anytime and anywhere. Gentlemen Only Casual Chic brings fresh top notes of ginger and juniper, in contrast to the spiciness of cardamom. Then, the body of the fragrance gains a woody accord of cedar and birch leaf, an ingredient that is capable of imparting leathery and slightly smoky nuances. Finally, sandalwood and ambroxan appear at the base of the olfactory pyramid, in addition to notes of coumarin and vetiver. Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is a perfume classified as woody-spicy and arrived on the market bringing a breath of freshness to the pillar, by abandoning the signature of violet leaves and incense of the two versions that precede it. The family's DNA still lives through the notes of birch, vetiver, and cedar, but Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is more vibrant and aromatic since the moment it's sprayed onto the skin. The feeling of a greener and more citrusy start comes first, but a salty facet is very evident to my nose and lasts for a long time during evolution. There is also a light and not too sweet mint smell during the dry down, but the most noticeable – at least on my skin – is a sensation of dried aromatic herbs, like the ones we buy for culinary purposes, which evolve into a base of light and ambery woods, in which the ambroxan has more weight than the sandalwood itself, usually softer and even creamier. In the end, Gentlemen Only Casual Chic proves to be an aromatic and salty fragrance (like the rough side of tanned leather), which carries an implicit aspect of elegance, without losing casualness. That is, it is the perfect type of fragrance for those who have a higher position in the company they work for, but go to the end-of-the-year barbecue in shorts, a basic shirt, and sneakers and don't want to look either too professional or too casual. In 2018, it was already showing signs of discontinuity, but it still appears on the brand's official page, which may indicate a possible case of presence only in some specific markets. The bottle and box brought orange details in order to reinforce a more sporty style. Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is excellent and delivers quality and good performance. A sin to have disappeared from the stores so quickly!

Time to finally speak about my favourite and signature scent! Gentlemen only Casual chic, in my opinion, is the best of the Givenchy line. And I mean that seriously, it hits all the spots (for me) it's woody, it's fresh but not too citrusy, it doesn't announce itself loudly when walking into the room, but when someone hugs you or is walking shoulder to shoulder with you, it presents itself. It's a clean scent, simple, but not underwhelming. I have quite a few scents in my collection and this one trumps all in my opinion, it being discontinued makes it even more impressive. I'm on my way to buy a second bottle to keep, even if it's a bit overpriced. I consider it my signature scent because it's very versatile: I use it at night, during the day, in the warmth of spring or cold in the winter, I actually prefer it then as its woody scent seems to envelop you in its warmth. You can wear it to a formal event or to relaxing at the pool or a walk at the beach. I would even argue this could be a date cologne but I would only do that during the summer as it's a light enough scent for a summer night, too light for a winter one. 10/10 my love for this scent knows no bounds, the only reason I don't use it daily is for fear of running out too soon.

This is awesome, I am surprised!, it has become one of my fave's from Givenchy, it has a nice sort of loud opening but is so enjoyable all the way to the dry down, I gets noticed and complemented right away. I was expecting something nice but this is much nicer than I thought. I can't compare it with the Gentleman only because I do not have it, but I have the Gentleman only intense, but they are totally different. Whom ever said in the reviews down there that this is a citrus blast or something similar I think there is something wrong with their sense of smell because there are no citruses listed in the notes, but a nice list of woody and spicy components. I won't go in detail of which one comes and goes first since I'm not qualified for that, but is a blast of nice elements, but not citruses. I like citruses fragrances too of course, but this is not one of them. It was a total blind buy, and very happy with it. Thumps up!

My girlfriend purchased this after smelling it on me in Sephora,i wasn't impressed to be honest,but the look in her eye said otherwise. After multiple wearings it has since grown on me and its actually a refreshingly different fragrance with its mildly spicy ginger and cardamon opening with a seductively smooth sandalwood base,i can smell mild ambroxan in the mix as well a pickled dill note. After the drydown has settled its a relatively smooth and pleasing casual,clean smelling,classy,easy going scent mainly because of the sandalwood note which smooths it out. Ideal for spring or mid temperatures when your relaxed and in an informal environment,maybe even the office. 7/10 for the smell imo,It does have good performance and projection. Definitely a like & not a love. Once I've finished the bottle I won't bother replacing it.

This is my biking-around-the-city fragrance for sunny spring afternoons. It smells bright and fresh, but doesn’t rely on citrus to get there. Not for a sour mood, this is for those mornings where the sun is bright, there's hope in the air, and you’re feeling energetic, and extra clean. Pairs easily with white tennis kicks and a nice chambray shirt. Preppy, yet individualistic at once. The ginger and juniper are wonderful together and launch this bright frag into classic territory. I want to douse myself in this but I only have 20% left and need to conserve it until it's re-released! edit - I only just realized that their ad campaign also features a guy biking around the city on an orange tinted bike (like mine!) - that is a perfectly weird coincidence.
