Pi Neo

I loved Pi Neo's scent at first sniff. It is a cologne that I can't compare to anything else, very unique. I layer with the Shower Gel (which is excellent... very woody in a steamy shower) and use the Pi Neo after-shave balm, and then spray the EDT all over. It's not very strong, I need to spray a lot on. The opening lasts about half an hour then it moves in closer, and softer. In cooler weather the opening lasts about an hour or more, then close. An EDP in this would be so much better. Sometimes after applying a good amount of regular Pi (or Pi Fraiche) I spray on some Pi Neo. Neo takes over at first, with it's lighter, fresher opening notes, then it morphs from the futuristic fresh Neo scent right into the warm, woody, vanilla-like dry down of Pi. It keeps a little of the Neo scent up to 2 hours, then it's just the warmth of Pi after that. It works for me. I like the Energizing Body Wash gel a lot, but it is not available anywhere, except in a gift set. No replacement products behind it. I did see an aftershave gel, by itself, on eBay once, but I think it was from a gift set and someone didn't want it. Pi Neo is short-lived but nice. For me, it's best in Winter, or the coolest days of Spring and Autumn. This would make a nice gift for someone with not much experience in fragrances. This awesome scent could easily kick-start someone's passion for fragrances.

Givenchy Pi Neo is cooooool, chilling, breathtaking. I'm surprised there isn't condensation on the bottle. I really do think there is a reason why this came out in the month of september because I get a feeling of cool air when I smell this. The aroma makes me think of winter. It also smells very powdery to me. The notes don't make sense to me because I know for a fact there is more to it than what is shown. (Maybe Fragrantica got the notes wrong? They have before... EX: Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas) I do like how whatever the base notes are in Pi Neo, they smell similar to base notes that are in all the other Givenchy for men. I get the same feel from all the Givenchys. Such a thick, rich aroma. They are so perfect. I still wear this in the summer time but of course with the brain works with scents, i connect Pi with winter memories. The longevity is incredible too on this. I can smell it on me all day and it will still be rich and powerful. I have yet to smell something from Givenchy whether it is mens or womens that I havn't liked. Givenchy truly has put out a great line of fragrances.

Disclaimer: I agree with what some are saying about how this should have been a standalone cologne and not a flanker of Pi. This review is looking at it as if it were a standalone fragrance without any bias towards or against Pi. Pi Neo is a criminally underrated fragrance. Where it lacks in sillage, it makes up for in the smell. Some see this as a generic fresh fragrance, but I don't get that. To me it smells like the smooth and silky, slightly bitter, soft-sweet smell that Givenchy is known for in their men's fragrances with nothing generic about it(pardon my alliteration). I don't know of any other cologne that smells close to this one. Some have said that there is a metallic sort of vibe to it and I do get that, but it harmonizes quite well with the rest of the fragrance. It's a soft, non-cloying, inoffensive fragrance that I think almost anyone of any age group can pick up and absolutely nail. Don't sleep on this one, get a sample if you can and try it out for yourself. I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

Okay call me crazy but does Pi Neo have the almond/vanilla thing of the original? Are these additional notes listed here? Because I'm feeling some of them but with the definite accord of the original which is primarily a very sickly, supercharged amaretto/marzipan vibe. It's more than that though the original is so complex and tips the balance between supreme and awful on my skin. Something about Pi puts me in mind of a poisonous noxious gas that smells super sweet just before you succumb to the fumes. Well Neo has a complete different opening and indeed smells like a different fragrance entirely...namely a really nicely done mardarin and cedar fresh accord. However as it dries down the signiture sweet vanilla and almond of the original come through. Strange transition but it works and the cedar remains too making it slightly different to Pi in that it doesn't really have that off putting nature and Neo actually works on my skin. Not bad all in all but Longevity is not great like the original.

Very pleased with this frag. Initially I get a bit Givenchy Pi vibe and can see the connection to the original but this one is much brighter with the citrus notes initially. The citris does fade down after a little bit but is still detecable for a few hours. I applied three shots at 6am and had a pretty good balance of notes until the afternoon (about 4pm). After that the cedar was really shining through without any detecable citrus. I tend to enjoy frags that change over time and don't stay linear with the same strong note the entire time. This offering from Givenchy is a great product in the Pi line. It is more subtle than the original and doesn't have the projection but will be great for spring and summer though I could see it being used year round in the office without any trouble.

Givenchy always makes unique sexy fragrances. They're one of my favorite lines because of that. This has similarities to other fragrances like every fragrance does.. but barely.. this is like a sexy ahead of its time in the future rather than just modern version of Burberry touch.. with the givenchy signature smell going on. Reminds me of Winter at clubs in Alaska. This was worn by the Jetsons. This is like a fragrance from a planet "ahead of our time". Best in winter and lightly applied. A big love.. secretly my favorite ever. The very best pick me up happy heaven bubble fragrance that does even more than that.. literally smells like it shouldn't be in this planet but lucky to have it... mby liquid platinum.

You are downwind of a lumberjack who just peeled an orange and then rolled in some baby powder. That lumberjack smells really nice. Pi Neo changes after a while into a vanilla-lemony powder-musk after the first 2 hours and stays subtly and sweetly humming along for another couple hours after that. Not a strong or loud cologne, but a comfortable one. I wish my husband would wear this but he says it's too vanilla. It still smells masculine though in sort of a fluffy way. I would say it's fresh, yet cuddly.

Very pleasant, non-offensive citrusy/powdery fragrance. Nothing out-of-this world, but definitely nice. Hard for anyone not to like the smell. Perfect for the office or a nice spring/summer day. One thing.....it's definitely a weak performer, so you'll need to spray pretty liberally, and carry a small decanter around to re-apply.

I was looking for a gift for my BF who uses the classic - Davidoff Cool Water, I tried it on my wrist and I have smelled it allll night and even after more than a week I still smell it on the sleeve of my pullover! This scent makes me really crazy, incredibly sexy.. I hope that he would like it.

Pi Neo Givenchy for men is a good one from Givenchy very elegant & masculine as well , very suitable 4 summer & a well blended ( mandarin, bergamot, myrrh, cedar and patchouli ) it works quit well on me. scent : 7/10. Longevity : 7/10. Silage : 5/10. Thumps up !

Girls like it, most guys dont.. I do. I remember the first day I tried it , a woman said, “oh you got that panty dropper on right now”.. swear (the second best fragrance reaction i remember atm) The best was Aqua Di Gio pour homme

WONDERFUL scent. Smells like heaven dripping from the clouds onto my skin. Good for winter or summer. Lasts all day on me. The mandarin orange is just divine. THE PERFECT COLOGNE! MY FAVORITE!!!!

Pi Neo I like it!!! i don ́t know why but it makes me feel comfortable! Its a scent for people very self - confident and who like to smell different. Very long lasting. Women like it, SURE!!!

i bought this one to my boyfriend.. love the smell :D very masculine and updated... it suits him very well, it lasts about 7/8hours. and i know he only plumps it twice, never more (;

great cologne like many others from GIVENCHY. longevity 10/10 is a great option for those people who doesnt care about the original pi fragrance, more wearable, a gentleman cologne!

Another amazing scent and with great quality from Givenchy. Great for the office. Very smooth and soft. Lasts on me all day Givenchy's fragrances have all be fantastic for me

all my life i use only one perfume and that was ultraviolet, i got a problem to find something that i love but after i use that pi neo on me i love it (sorry for bad english)

Now, mind you I had this perfume back in 2010 so I just remember the overall smell. But now I have bdk’s Creme de Cuir on me and I could swear they smell very similar!

WOW What a wonderful fragrance its a winner for me smells great from beginning to end longevity is good a thumbs up.

I sampled this ages ago and I still remember its amazing fresh metallic vibe. It's in my I regret not buying list :)

i really like this fragrance.. very underrated and very similar to code but freshier.

and Toscanol and Vanillin and Cosmone, this is one of a kind and i really love it.

Clean and fresh, also quite long lasting. I like it 4/5

When I first got a whiff of Pi Neo on a card at Macy's I just had to know what it was! I had the sales lady show me exactly which fragrance it was that she had just sprayed.. I was shocked to see what it was, but nevertheless I went back a couple days later and bought it! There was something about the way it smelled on that card that day.. It smelled a lot myrrh, like the myrrh oil that I burn on my oil burner, except it smelled very fresh and cool.. Neo opens up really fresh, sparkly, and I smell a lot of bergamot.. The bergamot in Neo smells alot like earl grey tea, which smells really nice.. On my skin the fragrance started to smell a lot different than how I remembered it on the card.. I still smell a little bit of the myrrh but not as much as I smelled on the paper which was the reason I bought it.. Neo has cedar which gives it a woody touch, myrtle, and a nice clean patchouli.. Neo also uses some synthetics which gives it a futuristic vibe which is what they were trying to do with this fragrance, hence the name "Neo".. Overall the fragrance is fresh, sweet a little powdery, but still is has warmth to it.. That is why it is very versatile and I can see it being used all year round, hot or cold.. It is a very nice fragrance, I used it as a casual type of fragrance when I wanted to smell good but did not want to wear anything special.. The scent is really pleasant but longevity and projection were not very good, but overall thumbs up!

Comes off strong and woodsy and citrusy on the first blast but quickly settles into a beautiful melange of Myrtle and Orange and Patchouli. The myrtle is more evident to me then the cedar and I get no bergamot out of it but do detect a papyrus type scent that gives it a very fresh vibe. It's not as generic as some people may think but in my opinion it does fall short of the greatness of some other Givenchy scents. Perfectly workable as a daily dumb-reach during warmer months but takes on an unusual menthol-like tone when the air is cold. Not bad just unexpected. Fairly linear and sits close to the skin. Scent 6/10 it falls short for me but I still like it. Nothing groundbreaking. Longevity 7/10 it does last 6+ hours on the skin. Projection 3/10 not much even in close proximity to the wearer, you have to be right up against them to smell it. Sillage 2/10 virtually none past the forst 20 minutes. Would I buy it again: no because I rather enjoy the Le Beau Male more for this "tone" so it seems unnecessary to me. Again not a bad scent just not unique enough or high performing enough (on my skin) to warrant a re-purchase. I will enjoy the bottle I have until it is gone though!

This is an extremely smooth and well blended composition with average longevity and conservative sillage. I personally smell the orange and patchouli with some woody tones, something creamy, and some added spice that tingles the nose. Something about the fragrance comes off as both hot and cold at the same time. It isn't exactly what I would call a super-exciting composition but I don't find it metallic as some others have described it. Penhaligon's Sartorial is metallic. Chanel's Platinum Egoiste is metallic. Comme de Garcons' 888 is metallic. This /isn't/ overly metallic. For me this is one of my two optimal scents for when I don't want my fragrance to stick out or be distracting to others but I still want to smell classy. As I said it's not what I consider exciting but it isn't boring either. Am I smitten and in love? No. This is, to me, safely in the upper echelons of my 'like' category. A very solid and emphatic like if you will. I can't really think of a situation where Pi Neo wouldn't be appropriate.

I tried a sample of Pi Neo that I received from a retail store. The opening is very strong bergamot almost headache inducing. Ten minutes later your are getting whiff's of woody cedar as you walk with a background of vanilla powder. You can tell it is from the Givenchy house. It is definitely a masculine scent. I find it to be more of a "grown up" dressy scent. If I was going for dressy scent, I would choose Dior Homme. It doesn't have a lot of play to it like...well (no pun intended)..Play & Play Intense. The tonka bean in the Play line makes it have a slight edge over Pi Neo. I can't speak for the projection, but the longevity is on par with other Givenchy fragrances. It stands out and projects on clothing longer, but becomes close on the skin quickly. It does have reminisce of Nautica Voyage, which I think is a better fragrance than Pi Neo. If you want more cedar and vanilla, this is your scent. I think there are far better fragrances out there than this. 7/10

Pi Neo was an innovative scent, in which natural ingredients like bergamot, Mandarin orange, cedar, vanilla, and patchouli were mixed, for the first time, with three molecules: Toscanol, Safraleine and Cosmone, all created by Givaudan. The first one is used to give emphasis to the durability of the perfume, the second to enrich the aroma of spices and the last one to praise musky accords and give elegance to the scent. On my skin, Pi Neo became a very linear fragrance, from the beginning to the end. It has a scent that I would call "creamy-refreshing" that permeates for hours on the skin, however, with low projection (as I remember, this is the first time that I complain about the projection of a Givenchy cologne). But the durability is great, and it stays on the skin in a discreet and elegant way (must be the Cosmone!). It is a comfortable perfume and, in my opinion, it is ideal for daytime and for closed environments such as offices, medical offices, etc.

Givenchy has introduced many excellent men's cologne over the last two decades. PI NEO is one of many where the scent stands out as a FABULOUS cologne for men. Givenchy has combined Bergamot with a woodsy scent which has a very calming effect. It could be used as a fall/winter men's cologne. It dries back very well and it keeps it's allure of a classy fragrance. I have used it both during the day and in the evening's and I have received many complements from both my co-worker's and friends wanting to know which cologne I was wearing. After a while it takes a nice Amber/Myrrh scent which comes off as a rich men's cologne not being very strong. I would rate this as a 9/10 both in longevity and sillage which makes this men's fragrances AWESOME. I give it two thumbs up....

I used to wear Pi Neo a lot during high school and it still makes for a decent spring/summer fragrance today (if you are able to get your hands on a bottle). A subtle citrus scent combined with patchouli, cedar, some herbal note (myrtle?), and an unlisted vanilla note. It could be the vanillin. The performance isn't the best, but I'm not complaining. Where I'm from, the air tends to get very muggy during hot days, which makes it impossible to wear heavy scented perfumes without suffocating. Pi Neo is light enough to wear throughout the summer, but strong enough that it doesn't fade away so quickly. In any case, Pi Neo is a nostalgic fragrance for me, which is why I'm in the minority of people who like it.

I like it! i can drown myself in this scent .. ...strangely i reminds me of some happy times i cannot remember...it evokes happy feelings on me... does anybody else smell Roma from Laura Biagiotti in it??? Only thing is WHY they called this one PI?? Why didnt they just called it Neo ?? The original is completely diffrent.. Its a summer scent but i gues in winter it can make more of a statement. I read somewhere it is based on toscanol where it prolongs strength and durability of aromas so it smells longer, i only have a test bag with a few drops, i need to try it good someday. A winner for me, i like it.

نت ابتدایی عطر رو یه بوی شاداب ، وانیل ، مقدار اندکی لاوندر و فلفل شروع می کنند . البته نسبت به عطر پی اصلی ، شیرینی این کار بسیار متعادل تر شده ترکیبات این روایح بوی بسیار دلپذیری رو به وجود مییاره بعد از مدتی روایح اسپایسی و چوبی یه عطر اضافه خواهد شد و رایحه شیرین رو همراهی میکنند که مثل بوی زنجفیل ، کمی تنده به شخصه نت میانی این عطر رو دوست دارم واینجاست که آدمو وسوسه میکنه که بخریش چون هم رایحه خوبی داره و هم طوری نشون میده که پخش رایحش هم حداقل مناسبه ولی متاسفانه همون طور که آقای کین هم ذکر کردند پخش رایحه یک دفعه افت شدیدی پیدا میکنه طوری که باید با دماغ بری تو مچ دستت تا بوی عطر رو متوجه بشی

I like Givaudan fragrances.. They usually come up with good inventions..in terms of uniqueness. As for Givenchy..they do very well in most of their lines..and if you notice, a main ingredient in Givenchy fragrances is "cedar"! Which makes you to think..how could the designers rely on the same main ingredient yet everytime produce a unique fragrance. Maybe that's why I like Givenchy generally. I am sorry,but I do not agree with those claiming Pi Neo is not unique. Pi Neo is neat..clean..sharp & comfortably wearable day in day out. Cedar + patchouli is really a great combination. Brilliant!

Compare to the original Pi, it’s less sweet and more cool. Like the original Pi it has mellow scent whit average projection and below average sillage. But longevity is good. Modern and wearable in all seasons. You may feel it a little feminine. Smells clean and nice but I don’t think, you will get many complements by wearing it. It’s just a lovely scent for you and the girl between your arms! در مقایسه با پی اصلی این یکی کمتر شیرین و بیشتر خنکه بوی تمیز و مدرنی داره که برای هر فصلی مناسبه دوام متوسط و پخش بوی کمی داره

Got this as a (re)gift. Smelled unremarkable, set it aside. Only worn it once that was 2 years ago in Hawaii on a night out. It was hot and humid as hell and this stuff turned evil on me. Cloying, sickening, headache-inducing levels of evil. It haunts me. But it's gettin cold out and one day in the coming months I may be brave enough to try it again-- this time in the north country winter. I'll review it proper then, for now just let this be a lesson: don't. wear. this. in. heat. Like, above 72F is pushing it.

Arancia,legno di cedro e bergamotto sono una spremuta riversata in questa essenza , secondo il mio parere la stessa arancia dona al profuma una punta di dolcezza molto bella e soprattutto frizzante! Il mirto è avvertibile come il patchouli, ma sono gli agrumi ed il legno di cedro che dominano l'olfatto. Bella fragranza per un uomo che vuole sentire il profumo pulito con se senza eccedere con quel tocco di brio dovuto al mix agrumato. Consigliabile.. Longevità 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Profumo 8.5/10

I bought this, along with Dolce&Gabbana The One, as an early Father's Day gift for my husband. They are both VERY different from each other, but my DH loves them both. Pi Neo is a magnificent fragrance! We couldn't stop smelling it on the paper strip. It's vibrant, fresh & clean, yet it has an earthiness brought about by the cedar and patchouli, that reveals how truly ravagingly sexy it is.

Versatile perfume: stripped, sensual and elegant at the same time. Can be used during the day and evening. Ideal for mild, cool temperatures. Similar to the 'Armani Code' (GA), but simpler, smoother, more versatile. The bottle is huge. The box, as well as great, is beautiful. Let's update it! Sweet, light, sensual, enjoyable. We should use it on cool days.

It took me awhile to appreciate this fragrance. All I get at first sniff was this strange artificial sweetness. After a few times going back and forth: Pi Neo starts out very sweet, then the fruits kick in. I get a lot of citrus underneath all sweetness, and strangely a very light hint of coconut as well. Is very pretty compares to it's original brother.

حصلت على عينة من هذا العطر المقطوع وجربتها لمدة يومين عطر صيفي ربيعي لطيف غير مميز ينفع استخدام يومي وللعمل الاداء لا بأس الفوحان جيد ولكن الرائحة بحد ذاتها ليست مميزة تبدأ الافتتاحية بالحوامض والاخشاب وتستقر على شئ يشبه بودرة الاطفال تذكرت رائحة طفل صغير ب اول الألفية بعد غيار الحفاض الصراحة لا يستاهل السعر الذي يطلبونه اليوم على المواقع

I wore this fragrance when I was in high school. We were hanging around and a girl who never complimented other fragrances complimented me. Also my girlfriend liked it too much. She never stopped smelling it. I don't know what they like about it, I think it's worth a try and if you get same reactions you can buy it.

Givenchy Pi Neo has been proven to be a long lived flanker. Some hold Neo higher than the original Pi. I don't. Neo has no way near the magic of Pi. It's less vanilla fueled, more generic. I do get a metallic vibe from Neo. Not a bad scent but nothing special either.

A colleague wears this and it's nice - citrus notes with a woodsy drydown. Nice for work - the citrus gives it just enough difference so that it isn't too generic male frag (to me, anyway) - inoffensive but not particularly special - good for work, esp in winter.

smells beautifully, but offers very little uniqueness, since it reminds me of a lot of other fragrances in the market. But it's a Givenchy and the quality is still there. Great to wear. I feel cozy and comfortable.

Givenchy Pi Neo is very nice. For me, it's best in the Winter. This would make a nice gift for someone with not much experience in fragrances. This cool scent for young peoples.

Just ok! I expected more from a Givenchy fragrance! Intense, but a bit too sweet! You can easily get sick of it during the day. Not the best!

It is a fresher version of Pi. Perfect scent for winter. Smelling it reminds you of a peaceful snowy day. Very relaxing scent.

maybe sillage and longetivity is not excellent but the scent gives me confidence,it is relaxing.

It smells good, but it is too light for acidic skin. It doesn't last on me.

To me its a very typical summer scent and I find it a very safe fragrance.
