Gentleman

The new reformulation has been also lost for quite some time. I've contacted Beauty Brands International - the Marbert's distributors - and they assured me, that starting from this April 2019, the Gentleman could be found on the market again and that's for 14€! Oh boy! I have the old formulation and the new one (in a rectangular bottle). In the latest is the civet note the same as in the old one. Main difference is, that the opening of the new one is brighter and much, much more spicier (to my nose the opening has a little bit of the Aramis Devin's vibe!) and has a pinch of aldehydes. I like the new one more to be honest. Longevity and projection - perfect! After 2 hours you end up with very prominent Kouros-vintage Givenchy Gentleman-civet note. The old one starts directly with the "pissy" note and smells almost like the overnight pamp. of my little son :) Apropos Marbert's Gentleman is far more animalic than the Givenchy's and the Davidoff "Classic". To me this is like a younger brother of Kouros. It is rare to find animalic perfumes these days among all the tonka bean and ambroxan cr*p. Have faith! The Gentleman will walk the earth again...

I got the vintage version of this thing and boy... OH BOY, or should I say OH MAN! This thing is pungent. It cuts through the air with this animalic and musky sharpness and lingers for quite a while. Aggressively masculine to the point of being slightly stinky (or very stinky, depending on who you ask). I decided to do 2 sprays after gym and go home. My girlfriend said I'm stinking up the whole place so you can imagine the sillage and longevity. This perfume smells like Kouros' older and more outspoken cousin that smokes cigars and drinks whiskey. A freshly shaved, old dude that doesn't mess around. He is not too elegant and doesn't smile much, but you know he is a kind soul, simple and down to earth. A less poetic description would be - You smell like someone lit a turd on fire (an actual comment I got) so tread lightly. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under the age of 30 or even older than that. This is not your everyday barbershop fragrance. If I wasn't clear enough, this fragrance can be encapsulated in one sentence - It stinks so good!

Aha!That's a good new,Mr.NordStorm!I have the new iteration of this,i find it very strong on the animalics!For me it hasn't a younger vibe as Kouros,for me it's the opposite.W Marbert!They can still produce great fragrances from their past!I have tried the new Uomo,that isn't still on Fragrantica,but it is a total copy of Terre d'Hermes Parfum,same strength too!

i gave you up there all the similars .. but wait a minute!! until today i don't why people says that this castoreum is a civet!? i know there is a civet but the whole animalic in all of these perfumes are castoreum not civet! if you realy want to smell the real civet try jicky of guerlain and you will know what civet smells like.. yeah the real poo poo oh yeah

I've bought today the lastest version of this scent and oh boy!Damn if it is very retro!I don't understand the other reviewers saying that this fragrance is nothing like the one before,i find it is the same only a little bit calmed down,for me is very similar to Furyo by Jacques Bogart,a beautiful scent for confident men.
