Givenchy pour Homme

Givenchy Pour Homme hit the market in 2002, starting a new pillar within the brand's masculine fragrance division. Its fragrance was created by Ilias Ermenidis and Alberto Morillas and is classified as woody-fresh, while its beautiful bottle was designed by Pablo Reinoso. The creative concept tried to re-establish the more traditional codes of the brand, since the advertising campaign carried the slogan “The gentleman is back”, in a double meaning game between the word and the iconic Gentleman perfume, from 1974. Until then, no one imagined that the company would invest in a new pillar, called Gentlemen Only, let alone the revival of the Gentleman pillar, in 2017. Givenchy Pour Homme's fragrance has top notes of cool grapefruit, mandarin, coriander, and violets, which make room for a body of lavender, davana, and vetiver, on a base of cedar and oliban wood, from which its fragrant gum is extracted. I don't know about you, but I find this fragrance incredibly sophisticated and timeless. I think the tagline was very well thought out as it brought back the gentleman from before (who bathed in mossy green fougères) and managed to stay modern for many years after its release. When touches the skin, Givenchy Pour Homme is slightly floral, citrusy, and very spicy. The coriander note tends to polarize opinions and because it is located at the top of the olfactory pyramid, something that was little discussed at the time, many men ended up not buying the product based on a blotter. But it doesn't take long, and that blazing aspect gives way to soft powdery violets and a beautiful lavender extract, which just doesn't go in a more feminine direction, thanks to the bitter scent of the davana. The evolution is subtle, the fragrance does not project too much, but the transmitted elegance lasts, and after a certain time, the woods begin to reveal themselves. The cedar is quite noticeable, the vetiver lends a little of that drier facet and the olibanum is slightly smoked, although a soft creaminess insists on exuding. The durability is good, but it hardly exceeds seven hours on my skin. Givenchy Pour Homme is undoubtedly a perfumery landmark in the early 2000s and a great example of an exquisite fragrance, which seems to have been idealized for work environments and formal occasions, even today. After all, not every company can afford to relax on dress code, build a video game space, and have a vast selection of donuts in the cafeteria. I just can't understand why they didn't follow up on this pillar, which has a legion of fans and, even so, took years to release a flanker after the second, in 2009.

I remember smelling this fragrance at Bloomingdales in May 2002 because I needed something for a date I was going on that evening. I bought it and rocked that scent all summer creating some of the best times I've ever had. Around fall I ran out of the juice and went back to my Curve/Drakkar/Tuscany rotation. Here I am 17 years later wearing it on my wrist for the first time since I ran out of it and being instantly taken back to 2002 while bringing back memories I completely forgot about! Isn't it funny what memories pop up when you wear certain fragrances? It smells 98% the same....might be a little less potent. I remember going easy on the trigger when I wore this back then but this time around I think I can afford to spray 3-4 more than normal. I've had this on for a little over 2 hours with only one spray and it's still holding up well. I've never had an issue with longevity because of my skin chemistry so I don't think this will be any different. I'm not going to break down the notes in this one because I honestly don't know what it is I'm smelling and I don't really care! I'm just here to share how great this fragrance is and am glad I ran into it again! Edit: I managed to locate a new/never sprayed bottle from 2002. I wasted a few sprays on the back of my hand and it was missing the pungent top notes/opening but the essence was still there. Gave it a full wear and totally over sprayed! Was still lingering on my shirt the next day! Decided to give it another wear yesterday. Holy cow!! I guess it just needed to breathe! Opening was just like I remembered and projected all day!! I’m a happy guy!!!

I really like it. It's elegant, well blended, mass appealing, and inoffensive. As the comment below me mentions, the notes from the givenchy website differ from those listed here. It might have been reformulated, although it does smell similar to when I smelled it back in the 2000's. Like most have mentioned here, it isn't the most unique or attention grabbing scent. It's what you would expect from a clean woody freshie. However, there is a note or combination of notes that make this scent distinguishable and give it some character. Very versitile, although ideal for office/university and casual use in spring during the day (also works in other seasons). Ideal age group is >25, althought that shouldn't deter you from using it if you like it. Atomizer isn't that good and so is performance. Longevity isn't that bad, maybe 4 - 6 hours. However, projection is the real problem. It's ok (arms length) for the first 1 - 2 hrs, but sticks close after that. It's a good fragrance at discounter prices, but not worth it at retail price. Moreover, I wouldn't say it's a must own. For me, I bought this mostly out of nostalgia for the 2000's, but I do use it sometimes. Scent 8/10 Performance 6.5/10

I don't agree it has bad longevity, because it all depends on your body chemistry. Yes, I'm a woman and I'm a huge fan of this gem, I have got 3 large empty bottles and to my shock - on me it smells how I like it, but on my husband - I love it more. On him it stays more than 8 hours, and what I love is the dry down, the most beautiful in this scent. I don't agree it's poor quality as for Givenchy, bu everyone has right to own opinion. I think this perfume is very sensitive for the light, because I purchased on eBay already two bottles with this sour , old , bad stored smell, so make sure you have correct one. I believe if you want to try it - go first for 4 ml mini bottle. It;s relatively cheap and never spoiled.

I remember trying this many times way back when it was released in the early 2000’s and absolutely loving it but not being able to afford it, fast forward to 2023 and I discovered it’s still available and got a bottle. It’s as awesome and addictive as I remember, that violet note is amazing. Silage isn’t epic but it hangs in there and likewise longevity while not amazing is still decent and I can’t remember it ever being a beast fragrance as some have commented. If you like Dior Fahrenheit especially the vintage version you will probably like this as well, I’m a big fan of both. I also have the Homme Blue and while they share some similar notes they are quite different, I don’t mind having both.

This juice is crazy good, anyone who overlooks it for another generic woody fruity run of the mill is mistaken. I have owned since it was launced in 2002 and it was the best blind buy ever. You get a crisp fresh blast of grapefruit, oilve, vetiver, cedar with a touch of menthol vibe. Its relatively unique if you study it instead of a 2 sec whiff, i personally have never found anything like how it dries down and the next day OMG it if you smell your shirt its the most gorgeous dry, airy, woody smell. Its a young - mature gentlemans fragrance with a few of the notes missing that make it smell like a nasty old mans smell that so many colognes smell of. Its a fantastic and i highly recommend it!

I've discovered this one about two months ago and i didn't had a great impression of it, but i still brought it. Now, i don't regret it as i fell in love with this one. Indeed this perfume brings me more close to Christmass when i wear it, cause it gives me a sensation of comfort, elegance, peace & warmth. Like i would be while sitting in my warm home next to a burning fire in my fireplace, while outside i was hearing the "cold chills" of the wind :). A great classic & stylish fragrance. It starts pretty spicy cause of the coriander, remembering me of the base of Visit by Azzaro, but warms down to the base where i love the dry vetiver & cedar notes. A great addition to anyones collection :D.

If it was masculine as other reviewers have noted then probably when it came out in early 2000's but now the new bottles are easily unisex. My wife likes how it smells on her. It's the most perfumey fragrance in my collection. Performance is average. Lasts as a skin scent for more than 6 hours however it projects only for maximum 2 hours. I don't have a similar scent in my collection, Ungaro Man has been voted as one of the fragrance that it reminds people off however to me Ungaro smells totally different with a greenish tobacco scent which I adore. So to summarize, my opinion is divided with this one. I like how it smells as a scent but I don't think I like to smell it on me.

انا ارى ان هذا تحفة عطرية وجمالٌ خالد .. سيبقى كذلك الى الابد ولن يهرم .. اراه الى الآن اكثر جمالا و ابتكاراً من الكثير من العطور الجديدة و النيشية بالاخص .. هكذا يجب ان تكون رائحة الرجل الحقيقية بل هذه هي التي يجب ان تشمها عليك الانثى ..!! نحن الرجال اليوم نفتقر للعطور الرجالية الصريحة العطور التي توحي بالقوة .. بالصلابة عطور لا تليق الا برجل .. تخجل النساء بالاقتراب منها من تجربتها من اقتنائها ..!! ثم انها تعشق شمها عليه هي تنتظر منك ذلك .. لا تنتظر العطور الحديثة عديمة الجنس ..!! .. تحتاج تلك الرائحة التي توقض الاثونة بداخلها .. اعشق رائحة بذور الكزبرة التي تشبه حبات الهيل .. عطر حمضي خشبي سبايسي يعيد مفاهيم الرجولة الى مكانها الصحيح .. جيفينشي بور اوم انت رجل

I don't agree that this is citrus fragrance. I feel there olibanum and cedar, can't find coriander or vetiver? I'm a woman, but this is my beloved perfume. It's very sensual , woody and just sexy, I feel so good wearing it and I feel full of energy and love for people - this is very funny, but I'm really nicer to people when I use Givenchy pour Homme. Actually ii had very long sillage on me. I might be not too construcive , because I fell in love with this fragrance when I have been working in Kenya, and most of men were using it. For me it's just Kenya, african sun, happy and smiling people I'm completelly in love with this fragrance, since 8 years.

Nose Note #643 It reminds me of something so badly. Maybe it's Green Benneton. It's like a level down sweet version of Terre d'Hermes. Average performer, perhaps a little worse than Terre. It also vaguely reminds me of DG The One and Boss Orange as it dries down. The citrus feels a little underwhelming, I've smelled many that are better. But I've found this overall to be a great men fragrance. But the price doesn't fit. It doesn't feel that sophisticated, doesn't smell expensive. Just a nice, pleasant and a rather easy fragrance. It's easy to like, it's a fragrance for the people. Doesn't smell old, it's a modern perfume for men. 7.5/10, good

I've had Pour Homme Blue Label for a while and I love it but for some strange reason I never came across with this one until yesterday when I went to get my second bottle of Very Irresistible (great scent) and I saw it there. I tried it for curiosity and was speechless... Wow! what a great perfume! Masculine, elegant, chic... It was love at first sniff :D I don't know why this isn't very popular being as good as it is; I saw it on sale for 150$ (that's cheap in a volatile Economy like the one we have in my country) and bought it instantly. I highly recommend that you try this one, it's magic like all Givenchy scents.

I really love this fragrance. To me it's warm/woody and fruity/fresh all at the same time. While I'm not yet experienced enough to be able to distinguish all the individual notes, I can clearly smell the mandarin orange & grapefruit, as well as the woody cedar. Such a great combination. In my opinion this can be worn anywhere at any time. The longevity & sillage are great. I put this on before 3:00pm and I can still smell it quite clearly now at 8:00pm. The House of Givenchy is becoming my absolute favourite when it comes to men's fragrances. Another winner!

Love this. I had it like 10 years ago. Got a 1 ml sample recently, and man, this juice is still so lovely. Brings back good memories. It is very crisp and woody with a little bit of fresh sweetness! Very gentle and charming. Now, projection and sillage? Well, beast mode! I am very surpzired that a few drops out of a sampler lasted a lot! The fragrance is not overpowering yet not weak at all! Nonetheless, i suggest to test it before you buy it to see how it works on your skin. My Score: 9/10

This is an alluring scent. It is fresh, but not acidic, classy, but not dated, subtle, but not forgetable, calm, but not boring... Oh, my! I could go on and on for hours. Even though it is a warm woody smell, it's not as dominat as many other woody fragrences for men. I find it suitable for men and women who desire a perfume that is calm, poised and doesn't "make a fuss" . This perfume doesn't yell "Here we go!", but gently murmurs "Come closer...". It's lovely!

That's one of perfumes you wear not for others but for yourself. I use it daily and i simply adore this scent. It's fresh and mildly woody. It's not overwhelming and you don't get tired of it. discreet but not flashy elegance. For me this perfume is like mild reminder for yourself "You are really good and there os no need to scream about it". My bottle is almost over just like Blue label i had before and i definitely would miss both of them

Very creative & unique.. if projection and longevity were a bit better I would assume this fragrance would be extremely hyped. Nothing is wrong with reapplying Givenchy PH, since the opening is so beautiful. I wish I could find other alternatives with a similar scent with that adventurous performance that fragrances have today... Maybe I’ll research The MFK house, please feel free to share any suggestion ms with me, Sir Nico

I've bought this on and off since 2005. It's safe to say it was and possibly still is my signature scent. There is something almost liquoricey about it that I find addictive. I wear it mostly in the evening but it's very wearable for day too. It isn't overly strong like a lot of mens fragrances are. It's more subtle, classy and unique. That's why I like it and will keep coming back to it.

A nice sexy-fresh fragrance. It is fresh, but not aquatic, it has some non-tart sweetness added to it, plus you can smell clearly the woods. Definitely, another great Givenchy.And another thing, if you like this but want another Labdanum fragrance that is not citrus oriented, try Alviero Martini 1A Classe Uomo. These two scents have a similar type of sweetness and warmth.

So this is only vetiver fragrance I like. Good job Givenchy. P.s. Vetiver is not the main note at all, but you definitely can smell it. This is an awesome warm weather fragrance with a fresh and pleasing mix of mandarine, vetiver and lavender. Longevity is not so good, but if you want an impressive arrival for a summer dinner, or when meeting with friends, good choice!

I remember when I was in high school, I smelled this fragrance in a theater (I recognized it in the air) and thought it smelled really peppery. My friend commented that it smelled like old person in the air. But, I really liked this fragrance, and I still do. It is spicy and warm and woody and very masculine.

I tried this one out today I was actually looking to try out "Gentleman" but the store had sold out. I really like the longevity and silage of this fragrance. It started out fruity sweet and woody and the woodiness has continued up until now - after 8 hours it is still potent.

Can anyone clear me up? why does not this perfume appear but also Blue Label on the manufacturer's website?only the gentleman, gentleman only and Pi series appear listed on their official website. I'm waiting for an answer if you can!

أول عطر عشقته لحد الإدمان . فوحانه و ثباته الحالي لا يقارن أبداً بالإصدارات القديمه، كانت تنهال علي دائماً الإطراءات لجمال هذا العطر خصوصاً القاعده .. عشق لا ينتهي تقييمي للإصدار القديم الرائحه : 10/10 الثبات : 9/10 الفوحان : 8/10

It's fresh, manly and I really love the smell, but it's extremely weak. Would definitely buy it if it was in the same price range as Davidoff Coolwater.

I wanted to try this the other day and couldn't find it anywhere - I live in France! Does anyone know why - have they discontinued it or something?

Love this fragrance... it has been and still is one of my absolute favorites. Clean and easy!! Givenchy makes some of the best scents.

Very pleasant! Citrusy for sure and seems suited for day...summer for that reason. I think i will get this for my husband.

When fragrances for men made to be masculine and not feminine. I think it start to end somewhere at 2005.

An absolutely superlative fragrance.Very refreshing,exhilarating & relaxing.Top quality.

This fragrance is fantastic. I just love it and will always keep it in my collection.

got this as a gift , good one .feels nice to wear it , liked by people around .

I've long been a fan of Givenchy Pour Homme and I've had it almost since it was first out. I do think it has lost a little power over the years but that's quite a common thing these days. On the immediate plus side, it is very versatile: day or night, winter or summer, work or romance, this one has them all covered (and that's rarer than you might think). I'd say it is moderate in it's strength and duration - usually when a perfume doesn't last long, it means the person is dehydrated or eating poorly or both, rather than the perfume being weak. Givenchy Pour Homme is subtle. It doesn't go around screaming its citrusy top notes or bombing you with woods or spices. It is a quiet pleaser. I like the cedar and the violet mixed in with the orange. There's something else in there that isn't in the fragrance notes, maybe blackberry, which I detect and keeps me intrigued. I like this a lot but I've never fallen in love with it. There's something missing which prevents it from becoming a bona fide masterpiece and I couldn't tell you what that might be. But it is very good. One day it will go the way of most perfumes and end up discontinued or ruined by a reformulation to meet the latest regulations. Buy a bottle now. If, like me, you have quite a number of colognes you wear, this one will last a long time because it's never the first one in your thoughts. I would compare it to the players in football teams on whom others forge a reputation of greatness. It's the quiet midfielder who retains and passes the ball like clockwork for others to launch attacks and score goals. When he's not there, things don't work quite as well. Oh sure, there are the flair players who score spectacular goals and this one will never be the player to make marketing men dream of riches, but, through all the noise and hype, you need a solid, reliable performer to hold everything together. That's Givenchy Pour Homme. Buy it and hold on to it. One day it'll be gone and it won't be quite as easy to replace as you might think. Edit: Alas, another discontinued Givenchy.

A nice scent, but lacks that edgy appeal. The idea was to create a "gentleman's" scent but they were not specific on whether they were regarding a younger or an older gentleman. Either way, it is a mass market appeal fragrance perfect for any teen to a guy in his late 20's. The top notes to this are fantastic and last quite some time. Imagine a fresh citrus floral. YES!!! Even the transition to the heart is great with the fruits, exotic spices, and florals creating something interesting, something with an old world feel blended with a modern take. The base is a big disappointment though. This had so much potential! The top and the heart had a great thing working but this just turns into another ambery, cedar based floral at the base. The funny thing is that amber is not even in the note breakdown but it is defintely there, or at least my nose picks up on it. If you like the amber and cedar in allure homme sport, then I highly recommend this one but if you want this scent with that edge I mentioned, I would recommend trying Hearts & Daggers from Ed Hardy, at least that one stays spicy throughout the scent life and keeps me entertained everytime I wear it. Oh, and True Religion Drifter and Givenchy Pour Homme have the exact same drydown.... the exact same, I thought I would add that. Overall, this is a perfect, safe scent that is highly inoffensive and will get positive attention. Sillage is good for 1-2 hours then it becomes a skin scent, and the scent life is around 4-6 hours. Since I do enjoy it, I give it a thumbs up but a "thumbs up" slightly into the neutral.

I must’ve bought this around the year it came out at Macy’s. Used to love it and wore in regular rotation. I wear for myself and was surprised to see someone said they did 20 sprays (OMG!) and still felt like it had weak projection. I’m thinking it either got reformulated or you got ripped off by a bad actor, because only one spray from by bottle will last more than a day on fabric. Two sprays and people will know you’re in the room. I still like this scent and was looking at what bottles I’ve had forever that I may try to sell Or trade and this is one of them. My Taste’s in smells have definitely changed over the years though and I’d likely try to replace a few of these vintage ones into things I’d like to discover and wear more often. Here’s the rub though: Unlike the Tommy Bahama I bought back then that’s worth it’s’ weight in gold apparently now, the Tommy’s the only one I’m inclined to keep out of several in the chopping block...and the Tommy B is the only one that now is worth anything and well sought after as I do my research. I didn’t buy any of these as investments anyways, but for $50 or less (likely what I paid back then) I’ll just let it sit pretty amongst the other ones and not worry about the hassle of selling or trading. But if anyone wants a super early formulation I’d be happy to talk and work something out as desired.

So got this fragrance in a trade from @Joenick68, thanks man. This is a great sweet floral scent, that liners in the air draws people in. But with all honesty, it does give me a headache. If it wasn't for the grapefruit(I LOVE GRAPEFRUIT BTW!) & cedar...i wouldn't like it...Those two notes won me over...But i don't know WHAT IN THIS, GAVE ME A HEADACHE. But over all it's a good scent...That won't offend anyone...So perfect for work & dates. I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again?...No. Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Sample it first. Can you use it as a unisex scent? Yes! Is it the old, new formulation? New SKU Number: 3274870303166 Batch Number: 1W01 (Production Date: September 2011) Age: 21+ From: Trade Size: 100 ML Scent: 7/10 (Okay). Value: 10/10 Trade. Sillage: 7/10 (Two feet). Longevity: 6/10 (Six hours). Creativity: 5/10 (Sweet but flowery). Projection: 8/10 (Two hours). Versatility: 10/10 (Anytime & anywhere). Compliments: 5/10 (You smell different). Until next time, I'll catch you on the flipside.

I almost forgot that I have this in my closet. Today I was bored with my usual go-to fragrances and wanted to give my nose a break. So I picked this up and sprayed a few times on my neck and my jacket. Then something weird happened. A group of ladies in the elevator were talking about how good I smelled. This has never happened to me. Then I went to the supermarket and a young lady approached me and asked about my fragrance. she said it smelt so good and I told her the name and she recognized the bottle which is definitely memorable. I didn't expect this kind of reaction from this old friend. I must say that my bottle is from 2011 so I don't know anything about new formulations. I've spent tens or even hundreds of dollars on so-called "Compliment Puller" expensive perfumes, I have them All, BDC, Sauvage, Layton, Aventus, and so on but I've never got compliments from total strangers until today.

Certainly an interesting and unique 'woody' fragrance with a classic masculine (almost musky) character.. This is undoubtedly a gentleman's scent, but the overall personality to me is late thirties onward. Just a personal preference, as others have noted, nothing too exciting about this scent. Just a simple, clean & natural classic. The aromatic greenish-tan scent is pungent and herbal at first, almost leathery -- this soon softens to a sweeter, barely recognizable citrus and vetiver suede. The woodsy spice of the cedar, coriander and vetiver dominate this scent, but the sweet floral and citrus notes round it out nicely. Ideally suited for office wear and anything from business casual to corduroy. It's a classic scent that arguably could be appropriate to wear year-round because it has enough fresh, fruity sweetness to get through spring & summer. Overall: 7/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 7/10

This is a very nice and delicately sweet scent, but so soft that my 1ml sample was not enough to produce any projection at all. Nevertheless, this stayed with me at skin level until the next day. I think it's perfect for intimate moments, and I love the scent, but useless for everyday wear. Unless maybe if grossly oversprayed it actually projects some? How much more, 1ml is quite a lot already... PS: I have just tested the blue one: it is very similar, lovely delicate scent, and it actually projects - not much, just perfect, and for a long time. And it also lasts 12 hours + as a skin scent. So I think that mr. Morillas and Ermenidis took a belly flop in 2002 with this one, but later, in 2004 they corrected their mistake with the blue label. Better late than never!

Review of a 2002 bottle; unsure if this thing has been reformulated but for reference purposes this is an old bottle. The top is all about sourness of grapefruit, mandarin, and coriander. It's an odd, citric, synthetic opening that is spicy/woody underneath. Clean smelling, pleasant enough. not really sweet at all. More of one of those clean, citric precursors to BdC that's good for younger guys, the office, etc. I get average 4-6 hours of longevity with an hour or so of moderate projection. Not bad, at all for this sort of scent. About what I'd expect. A 7.25/10 for me. Nothing bad, nothing overly exciting. Compliments have come from folks around me of the "oh, that smells nice, what is it?" variety at times. Smells much like my memories of the early 00s.

An early morning walk along the Rue du la Petit Musc in the Marais in Paris is filled with many aromas. Among them is the blend of cooly sharp grapefruit, exotic Mandarin Oranges from the Chinese restaurant on the corner laced with other lush fruits and a hint of violets from the flower stalls on the Rue de Rivolli. Givenchy captured those heady Parisian flavors and stirred in exotic spices, warm woods, a few light florals and a dash of Vetiver to come up with this enticingly romantic at times erotic delight. Always elegant but never aloof Givenchy Pour Homme has just the right touch of light hearted spring fun that can lead one into an unforgettable summer. Longevity six to eight hours on my skin. Four and a half platinum stars.

This was my third fragrance this year, an autumn one (I think it pretty match the cold-rainy weather). The 1ml sample I received from a friend stayed opened in my car for 2weeks and the woody vetiver/cedar/labdanum smell intrigued me so much that I decided to order it. Now I have it for 3 months & I love it. I'm sure that 'davana' note listed in commercial is a powerful binding to all middle & base notes, because the spicy/fresh opening is followed by a perfect balanced warm/stylish/incensy/woody trail that lasts very long. I liked very much the old 'Pi' which was a stunner and I love 'PourHomme' for myself and my special girl, especially in cold & grey times. My rank 8.9/10. ☣☣☣☣

As ticalau said, the bottle is a little ridiculous, but the stuff inside is really nice. This is a warm, spicy wood fragrance that, to me, projects warmth, trust and youth. Someone left this fragrance behind in my apartment, so I have no idea who it actually belonged to in the first place. It reminded me of a young man in a suit and tie, smiling genuinely and offering a firm handshake. Gentlemen, please feel free to wear this one whenever you wish.

Very nice one! I like this more then Blue label... it's mutch elegant and warm... Indeed remind me of Blue label, but this smell mutch better. The base notes smell like cedar so mutch, and gives an air of holidays, of winter holidays, best for Christmas! And i like that it's poweful enough ! The bottle it's not that great, just like the blue label, only the color differ, but it's ok ;)

Heavier more creamy version of Blue Label. Its less fresh more serious scent in comparing with B.L. This one is spring days scent while blue label is meant to be a summer scent thanks to fresher more citrusy DNA. Pour homme and blue label are around 70% similar. 3.75 / 5 Age;+25 Moderate lasting and projection. Spring days. Casual.

Fresh, Woody, Manly and I would say versatile. I used to use it for the office because its lack of sillage (at least the batch I had) made it easy to wear and didn't get clogged in everyone else's nose. Also is not so common to smell nowadays so I think it's worth a shot wearing it.

Muy Givenchy, Discreta pero con mucha clase, el fondo o secado es finisimo, rico, masculino y sin agresividad. Es mas para disfrutarla uno mismo en la propia piel que para dejar una estela olfativa. Aunque tiene un arranque a lo CK luego deviene Givenchy, lo dicho, muy Givenchy.

Lovely discreet wood, with a citrus opening free of the bergamot I can't stand. Terrible longevity and silage on my skin but so pleasant while it lasts. Basically a discrete version of Cartier's Declaration (for those of us who love pencil shavings.)

Even though ginger isn't mentioned as one of the notes, I'm sure that I detect it in this fragrance. Great smell though. It was a toss up between this and emporio diamonds by Armani, I chose this one and I'm satisfied with my choice.

Smells like moschino uomo, just lighter and less powdery. It's ok. Nothing special but it's clean and citrusy. Gets dry and woody after an hour. Longevity is average, and projection is subtle. Best for spring and summer.
