Now THIS one is the winner in the Gentleman line, if you ask me.
Especially if you like the kind of classy, incense feeling scents. It starts of with a nice, lightly spicy, chocolate covered feeling sweetness. I find it absolutely gorgeous throughout, but right in the opening, and then in final drydown (where I get an ALMOST incense feeling smokiness) are where it wins me over.

It’s a high class sweetness that leaves you feeling confident. Not a boisterous kind of confidence; more of that “everybody knows I do my job well without me having to say it” vibe. It’s a great one, indeed.

Performance isn’t bad either. It’s got a solid cloud that reaches a 4ft radius, with a nice sillage trail that follows. It’s also got a nice longevity, going 6-8 hours or so. It’s definitely my favorite in the line.

I’m going to be sporting this one a LOT this winter.

My Cozy Cold Weather Gentleman
My goodness, what another wonderful addition to the Gentleman collection from Cresp and Lorson!

Spicy and herbal opening, voracious and punchy; pepper and coriander most prevalent to me. An earthy and powdery orris soon fills my nose, complemented with the smell of twisting and spiraling wood smoke with a deep dark cocoa.
This has a warm, cozy, inviting aura; confident but accepting and welcoming. It’s also not as strong in terms of sillage as others out of the line, namely Gentleman Givenchy Réserve Privée or even Gentleman Givenchy Eau de Toilette Intense, but I kinda like it this way. The way this performs in an intimate setting and carries in the air, even I find myself enjoying it. Cocoa complimenting touches of orris powder and a really lovely smoky woody aroma. It’s semisweet, a little dry (but not dusty) and creamy, with touches of the spiciness throughout.
This scent makes me feel… Good. I spray this, inhale, and the cloud of calm that comes over me is wonderful, and for a solid 8 hours I enjoy this calm confidence.
Well worth giving this a sampling at your local beauty/dept stores if you haven’t. I’m almost through a 100ml bottle in under a year and will definitely be buying this again.

A pleasant surprise
I had already seen this EDP boisee actually cheaper than the straight EDP and EDT on a site i used as a price reference. I think it is a pretty pleasant surprise having smelled it yesterday and thinking it reminded me of a fragrance in particular, for some time i couldn't tell which one it was, though.

And then it just popped into my mind:
OG CH MEN!!!

I guess the sugar / leather combo on that one which to me gives kind of the ilussion of smelling a fine chocolate put inside a leather bag, is quite similar to an accord here in Gentleman EDP boisee. I assume, the cacao, woods, orris and smoke make the ilussion of that. A slightly sweet pretty sexy aroma.

bottom line: I have heard some reviews on other sites saying that the Gentleman line lacks a DNA representative of itself. I think it is not the case, all modern (And even the vintage has some of that) Gentlemans have a common leather and sweetness, warm spicy, iris kinda DNA. boisee is no exception. I don't like it more than the straight quite dry and macho leather drydown Gentleman EDT but, as i state once again: A very pleasant surprise...

Here cocoa did the trick!
Tested inside a shop and i confirm: cocoa gave tha amazing part, so different from the normal givenchy. I liked so much, i never had doubt on this. It is for elegant and also mature men, recommended, not for young because of the smoky part but it is very a good change from each others from the givenchy line. if you like misterious men this is nice for a gift or for your husband. I do not prefer designer parfume as personal taste but this one you should try. Longevity is okey, but not a 10 i suppose, it may be an 8.

The Combination of Spices and Burning Wood
This is a great fragrance, Spicy, Woody, Floral, Warm and Seductive. My wife bought this perfume for me as a Gift, before she asked me what fragrance do you like? I said Givenchy Reserve Privee, She tried both of them and bought Boisee for me , Now I love it. It opens up with warm spicy, floral and Cacao notes in the background then dry down is earthy, floral woody. The Orris, The Black Pepper and burning wood notes are dominant in this scent. I really enjoy it and I'm so happy that I have it in my collection. Longevity is good.
Thumbs Up.

Black pepper, geranium, a powdery iris, cedarwood and tonka.
A less sweet combination of La Nuit de l'Homme and Dior Homme.

Great version of this classic. More woody than the original, plus a hint of green. I prefer it over the Original but not the Réserve Privée.

Maybe I'm not smelling this properly but it seems like a flat, bland, generic, synthetic, sweet, fuzzy, powdery scent to me.

I LOVED the opening of this fragrance. Sadly, as the time passed by, the more I didn't like it.
