Gentleman Givenchy Givenchy 2018 Eau de Parfum

Slowly the companies and the perfumers dare something again. After Cartier's L´Envol and a few other dark and/or powdery new fragrances, Givenchy now also dares a little something.

Gentleman Givenchy Eau de Parfum begins in the top note herb-fresh. No sour fruit pops around your ears but lavender and a light portion of pepper clear your nose. Unusual after all the synthetic-fresh waters of recent years.

The heart note is Dior Homme pure in a bed of lavender. The lipstick chord is there and with the light breeze of the lavender is shifted a little bit into the harsher right and thus gets a more masculine side.

Then the base comes relatively fast and I had to rummage in my memories. The smell seemed so familiar. But no modern Synthi water smells so velvety. And after some thought, I came upon Calvin Klein's obsession for men. Immediately a comparison test was started and really, the basic components of both fragrances smell very similar.

So I mean that here the 2000s meet the 80s in the sun-flooded lavender field.

A great novelty that could have a bit more "Wumms". I can't help it! ;O) I'm just a child of the 80s and 90s.

I hope that more innovative new releases in the medium price segment will come onto the market in the near future.

Just a small warning to the friends of the eau de toilette of the same name. The Eau de Parfum is an independent fragrance and has very little in common with the Eau de Toilette published last year. So it's better to test first. But I think it's worth it.
