Here, there is no discussion
46 years old. He doesn’t need to discuss anymore. He speaks for himself. Staying true to himself over the years. Different yet unmistakable.
A classic? He would rather call it a milestone. But he doesn’t make a big deal out of it. Even “Antaeus” and “Zino” are younger. Honestly…
Reformulated in the last decades? Of course. Several times. What do you think? We live in 2020, not in the eighties anymore. So please stop whining. That’s life.
The addition “Pour Homme”? Please! He doesn’t need that. Gentleman says it all.
Arrogant? More like self-assured. He knows what he wants. He has no time for young posers. He just doesn’t need to anymore.
Elegant? Hubert de Givenchy created Audrey Hepburn’s look. Any questions?
Do you wear tight chinos that end above the ankles in summer? Tassel loafers? Without socks? Then wear something blue. Masculinity is still required here!
Leather? Of course. Patchouli? Naturally. It must be in every proper men’s fragrance. You heard right! Men’s fragrance. The contemporary synthetic fruity-fresh-sweet cyber scents are not it. Even if it says “For Men” on the label and the saleswoman told you so. It’s not true.
Does it smell animalistic? Certainly not like a puma cage. But it fits!
Modern top notes? Ridiculous. Here it hits hard from start to finish. Alpha and Omega. At the same time.
Do you want an impression of the scent development? Do you want to know what orris root smells like? Do you want a dissertation on longevity and scent clouds? Read the other comments!
This one is both a gentleman and a macho. Macho is considered a possible counterterm to softie. Just so you know!
Do you want to impress? Not hide? Are you self-assured? Here is the answer to your voices in your head!
Do your voices in your head tell you to test this perfume? Yes? Then do it. Dare yourself. You won’t die. It’s worth it. And if not, at least you can join the conversation.
Try it out. Every man should have a small bottle of this in his cabinet.
This perfume doesn’t need Intense, Concentrée, Nuit, Extreme, or Extrait versions. It is all in one. So don’t wait for it!

Used to own and love it 10 years ago and order it just few days ago to celebrate my "born in the 80's" day. Had a lot of fun reading your review and now I'm even more eager to receive and enjoy it fully. Indeed a true man' scent.

A true macho trophy for an obviously macho scent :-) Well written.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah - GG just barely missed the classification as a signature scent - Grey Flannel was simply more present in my collection, even though I always had the 220ml splasher of GG - pondering - anyway, the comment is great (Pokälsche!!) as is the fragrance. And even though it has lost some of its brilliance and intensity over the years, what's left is definitely worth a try. But be careful - don't accidentally test Gentleman Givenchy - there are worlds of difference between them!!

What an exciting comment from you again! I'm convinced: a scent for real men. I'm adding it to my wishlist right away. After all, Alliage wore it too.

I find the authoritative headline debatable, but the punchy comment underneath is definitely worth discussing, so really good...

I wore that as a woman in the late 80s too. Awesome stuff!

Great comment. I'm really enjoying it. And: I can easily imagine how it smells. Can we give out multiple awards? ;)

Best comment I've come across in the last 100... just the headline deserves 10 trophies. And I don't need to take every word from you, because the scent speaks for itself (thanks to you here;).
