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.

Having gone through three bottles of the original Gentleman only over the past decade—I finally got my hands on Gentleman Only Casual Chic for an absolute steal ($50), and I have to say, it’s the superior choice. The transformation in this fragrance is nothing short of remarkable. It opens with a fresh, invigorating burst of minty ginger, then evolves into a smooth, creamy sandalwood that feels effortlessly refined. I haven’t come across such a well-structured fresh fragrance in ages—the contrast from the initial spray to the drydown is so distinct that it almost feels like two different scents in one. Longevity on the other hand is moderate - 5 to 6 hours ,which is expected for spring/summer frangrance.

Very fresh, wet, yet powdery ginger note. Nice texture through and through and more than enough lasting power to make it through the day. Quite pleasant and inoffensive, I find this to be a businessman's alternative to scents like Abercrombie Fierce/Mont Blanc Legend. This really makes me smile for some reason... It sort of reminds me of scents from the late 90's to early 2000's, and I don't really know why. I would've REALLY loved it back then! But it didn't exist then - and thus, it doesn't have any of that negative stigma associated with it, so I'll gladly wear it now. :) Modern, yet nostalgic...

Unique, relaxing, care-free...perfect for spring & summer, daytime use...it just makes you smile. There's nothing quite like it on the market, its freshness is not a classic citrusy one, but rather a spicy, fizzy one. The result is quite surprising and pleasant. Plus, I love the orange :) a beautiful touch of color in my bathroom. Creamy sandalwood in the base makes this a super sexy, comfortable fragrance. +++ Ambroxan, hello!! Doesn't project enormously but leaves behind a gorgeous and elegant trail.

The original Gentleman Only isn't to my taste, so I wasn't planning to like Casual Chic. Surprisingly, I did! It opens with a lovely fresh burst of ginger and juniper, with a hint of cardamom and geranium. Although there are no citrus notes, this combination gives you a fresh citrus vibe. The drydown is a nice mix of tonka and sandalwood, with a hint of birch. A lovely summer fragrance. The only weak point is the sillage, this is a skin scent on me. Longevity is good, however - I get around 8 hours.

This scent has eluded and confused me for some time now, every time I went to sample this at a major retailer, I left unsure if I liked, disliked or loved it. I have now spent 5 occasions tested this out and I have finally realised that I do like this scent, so I purchased. It quite unique in my opinion, so very fresh and clean, just like the bottle, it can be hard to describe the notes in my opinion, I get the vetiver, the juniper and the ginger. Well blended and worth the purchase.

I just sprayed my bottle 5 times for the first time in a while and I got the urge to look and see if this fragrance is available anywhere anymore. Low and behold it’s been discontinued. It’s a pity cause this is one of the best fragrances a guy could ever wear to the gym. I wore it to the gym for years. Perfect for playing tennis too. It has a very energetic yet also very classy feel. A lot of ginger and musk that mixes with your natural body chemistry.

This seems to be a really divisive scent. When I came here I expected everyone to rave about it because I'm 33 and this is the 1st male scent I literally adore. No one I know had it, I was given a test bottle by a friend who works at a perfume shop. It immediately gives me visions of that handsome stranger and all the vacations we'd take together. It's breezy and light but not plain. Very much from the same world as Armani Mania, Versace Dreamer etc.

Today i got this sample with the YSL La nuit de l'homme i bought today. If you spray it for the first time you smell instantly a burst of citrus. But then i washed it off with water and damn.. It smelled so goood, this probally is going to smell like the dry down. Very smooth, fresh, casual. Just lovely i would really recommend it. Scent at the beginning: 7/10 Way too much cirtus Dry down: 9/10 No joke, probally gonna buy this when my YSL is empty.

Rocking this spicy scent right now, love it, so unique, so manly, so different. Was always turned away, by the bad reviews, but I am glad I looked into this one. Love the ginger and juniper note, such a clean scent, projection is okay and longevity not so bad either, good standard for a fresh scent. Ties in well with my suit attire, blue gingham shirt, navy tie, pin stripe slacks, blue banded watch, and, my casual Chic ;)

Perfectly mixed, what an addiction this one is too, ... one and a half bottles to go and then the fun is over! The 'Only' variants from Givenchy are the best and created by Jean Jacques. - Perfect gemengd, wat een verslaving ook deze, ... anderhalve fles te gaan en dan is het uit de pret! De 'Only' varianten van Givenchy zijn de beste en gecreëerd door Jean Jacques.

This was one of the first scents I bought over 4 years ago when I first got into mens perfumes. Picked it up in clearance today for £10, bargain! You can't go wrong with this one. Clean, safe, refreshing juice that's full of interesting ingredients. Good projection and fairly long lasting. Will be gone soon (discontinued) get it while you can! 7.9/10

Woody, fresh and slightly sweet. It's not overwhelming and loud, definitely suitable for a modern and classy gentleman that has no need to scream. I would say that projection is soft to moderate and lasting power is surprisingly good for an edt. In my opinion this is the best of the Gentlemen series. I like it too much ❤

Light and clean with a safe for work silage, I found the blend of woodsy and citrus to be well worth the money. Definitely a warm season scent, but I can't wait to see how it works in the fall/winter of California. Worth the investment. My wife loves it. She liked it in the ads of GQ, and on me it is a favorite of hers.

Not many people love this scent but I do. I cant get enough. I first smelled it after it came out last year and I couldnt get it out of my head. I had to go back to Dillards to smell it again to confirm I wasnt crazy. Yep I still love it. Went home and immediately bought it online. Its fresh and spicy

One of the best fresh scent I'ev ever smelled. Classy, expensive feeling. Longevity is 12+ hours on me with more than enough projection. The whole gentlemen only line works very well on me. With this series I think Givenchy made one of the best fragrances of nowadays. Very much recommended.
