I had really high hopes for this one…
…because it was repeatedly compared to Dior Homme Eau (which is one of my absolutely favorite scents).

I scoured the earth to find it, and immediately tore it open when I did. 5 shots (2 to the sides of the neck, 1 to the back, and 1 on each wrist), and I was on my way.

Immediately I was greeted with a very dry, yet waxy feeling makeup vibe. Nothing at all like Dior Homme Eau. While it was a lipstick feeling, I really wouldn’t compare it to the other DH scents either.

It’s not a bad scent, it’s just that I was hoping for something similar to DHE, and the only thing this one has in common is the color of the juice.

Performance wise, the projection is thick and solid, but restrained to within a 3ft or so projection bubble. Sillage is there as well, for 3 hours or so, and the overall longevity isn’t bad, lasting 6+ hours as a skin scent after the first 3-4 hours have passed.

If you like Iris, you’ll probably want to have a look at this one. It’s definitely prominent, but also know that it’s that lipstick-esque feeling Iris that you’re going to get.

Again, I don’t dislike it, nor do I regret buying it, but it is nothing like the Dior Homme Eau scent. To each their own.

Powdery, Sweet, Romantic yet green...
Givenchy Gentleman Intense IMO is easily the best scent in the whole lineup, a fresh, sweet yet powdery frag that you can wear all year around. Pulls a few compliments as well.

Upon a first whiff you will smell: Citruses, Cardamom and a sharp Cypress accord. Alongside the greenness, the opening has a boozy "barrel of liqueur" quality to it. Which lasts for an hour or so, then it slowly dries down to a sweet Iris base. And it stays there for about 8 hours, slowly projecting less and less. In total the longevity is about 9-10 hours on my skin, solid projection for 3 hours. Excellent for an EDT! Sensational.

Would i recommend it? Yes, buy the biggest bottle you can. I'll probably do that.

The signature on the line
The most versatile of the Gentleman line, one of the best lines of designer perfumes. I couldn't choose which one I like the most, but this EDT Intense is undoubtedly the one I use the most. It has a fleeting citrus note, which gives way to woods, a soft iris that provides maturity and a slight powderiness, all sweetened with coumarin. He has the Gentleman gene and personality. It stands out in autumn and spring, but I wear it all year round, its performance is more than satisfactory and it is a great alternative as a signature fragrance to go out of the ordinary in blue fragrances. Solid, all-terrain and distinguished.

Signature scent!
The most easy-to-wear fragrance in the gentleman line. It's a blue iris-based fragrance. It's fresh-powdery but it has a deep woody-sweet complexity.
I would say that it's a three and an half season fragrance (fall, spring, winter and summer nights)
I recommend this fragrance to anyone who is looking for a blue fragrance different from the main ones on the market

Honest opinion
The iris fad is in full effect. However, out of the Givenchy Gentleman line that I own, I like this one the least; I would much rather reach for Boisée or Privée before grabbing this. But that’s not to say this is bad by any means. I honestly believe Gentleman Givenchy EDT Intense shares striking similarities to Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau the second and is definitely gear more towards warmer temperatures.

Cardamom, iris, cedar and tonka bean. Woody, dry, floral and powdery. It's slightly sweet and spicy. I don't find the blend very pleasant.

Nice and versatile. Creamy iris similar to the EdP but fresher and lighter. EdP dark resinous feel is replaced by green and woody facets.

The really strong herbal notes throughout really throws the scent off for me. My least favorite in the gentleman line next to society.

A strong perfume that isn't blind buy worthy. On the right person, it might make a good pairing but not on me unfortunately ...

Clean and sweet. It is as if it were the mild version of the EDP, more versatile but somewhat worse in performance.

A Givenchy "blue", fierce herbal basil in the opening is balanced with cool linen-like iris and semisweet hay–like coumarin.

It's tolerable for me. Powdery, spicy, dry woody, and I would have guessed patchouli in the base. The original remains...
