Great release for DHP fans

I am lucky enough to be able to enjoy this perfume quite fast after its release and I can say that I smiling and keep sniffing my wrist all the time since I sprayed it this morning.

It starts very pleasant and familiar, with iris, bergamot and a slight boozy note .. the familiarity comes from the Florentine Iris present in DHP, which has a similar opening. This is for my nose almost identical with DIOR Homme Intense 2017, pre-reformulation version .. less powerful of course, but as intense and beautiful.

The chestnut and the benzoin, are shy and hide behind the multiple Iris notes but keep the character of the perfume quite romantic and classy. I do not smell any vetiver but there is a beautiful high quality cedar note in the dry down, making it even more classier if that can be possible.

After about 20-30 min it becomes a very addictive smell (if you like LVMH Iris scents) which reminds me very much of DHP without the stinky leather, which to be honest it´s a total no go for me.

This is far from a "new" release, but very close to DIOR Homme I/P pre-Reformulation scent DNA. As we know, Givenchy and DIOR are both part of LVMH so for me this is a very smart move from them .. to take over the perfume world with DHP as the Original bad boy, and create a well behaved brother called Réserve Privée and make it a Givenchy.

For the price, quality and smell .. this is a 9/10 creation. 1 point goes off because it is a copy paste DHP without the leather.

Iris And Whisky Maketh The Gentlemen

Now this smells very nice indeed with the fresh iris in the opening that soon has chocolate facets. The whisky adds a nice subtle dimension to the scent and pairs well with the chocolate tinged Iris.

As time moves forward the scent becomes woody and nutty from the chestnut. Here it begins to get sweeter and powdery with what smells like a hint of caramel melded with the woods.

I get several hour longevity on the skin and very average projection. Within arms length for the first hour dropping to within half a arms length after. It is a scent that stays close to you.

All in all a delight!

Autumn in a bottle

Although I have now been moving for some time in the perfume community and already heard many tips and could gather experience on the subject, I let myself get carried away here to a blind buy. Fortunately, however, this was worth it.

Touted on many channels as the ultimate fall fragrance, the fragrance caught my eye during a visit to a perfumery. Actually, I was determined to buy another fragrance. After this but on the day was not available, is the Gentlemen, influenced by the positive reports, after a short test on the fragrance strip bought.

Enough preliminary skirmish, we come to the most important. How does the fragrance actually smell?
In the opening, the fragrance starts with beautiful, warm notes. I find despite the listed bergamot you can not really perceive citric notes. We have here a beautiful iris, which unfolds together with a chestnut note and underpinned by an alcoholic, Boozy note.
The chestnut I find very interesting and find that it fits well in the fragrance DNA.
The fragrance is rounded off with vetiver and patchouli.

The shelf life is with me at a good 6-7 hrs.
The sillage has enough power that your counterpart perceives the fragrance. But I do not find that it is too strong or almost already slaying.

The best time to wear the fragrance I see in the coming, cold season.
Here he can score with his warm notes.
The best occasions for the Réserve Privée are dates or evenings with friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
In the office, the fragrance will certainly not tick off negatively, but I find for this there are better alternatives.

The rather dark design of the bottle fits well with the fragrance. Otherwise, the bottle is kept relatively simple. In gold lettering, the name and the Givenchy logo are held.

Price-wise, the fragrance is currently about 55€ for 60ml, which I think is absolutely reasonable.

My conclusion:
The many recommendations to this fragrance I can well understand. The combination of iris, chestnut and the whiskey note fits really well together. Just the whiskey lifts him again from other fragrances that also work with iris notes, I find.
A test he is worth in any case and maybe he pulls even in one or the other collection.

Well. Here it is.

This fragrance. It's everything. Beautiful, sexy, dark, alluring, one would even say unisex (makeup purse vibe, maybe more swanky leather vibe from the iris) but don't let that deter you. This stuff is the best scent I've smelled in years. When you wear this, men will be jealous of you. Women will just make a face like you owe them something THEY NEED. This stuff is ALLURING, for sure. You want to make someone look your way? Look no further...

Sweet, boozy, but a powdery nod to DHP

Finally sampling one of the most recent releases from Givenchy, Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Privee, that’s been understandably getting a lot of positive attention. I’m not deeply familiar with Givenchy in general nor the expansive Gentleman line but I wanted to try this, and I’m glad I did. It smells of a cross between ambery whiskey and powdery leather, and no doubt due to the latter, draws comparisons to Dior Homme Parfum, something that occurred to me upon first spray.

I actually sold my bottle of DHP years ago, since, although it was a great fragrance, its sharp powdery quality meant that I didn’t reach for it often. GEDPRP partially addresses that by being noticeably more blended with a sweet and boozy quality, and a fraction of the powdery leather side of DHP.

It is, in this way, the best of both worlds, a nod to the sweet while still having some of the powder, and it’s achieved harmoniously. I’m quite pleased with it and would consider buying a bottle, as it also performs pretty well. Also, I can see how it would satisfy some DHP fans while being a bit easier to wear and more fashionable, with its resinous/sweet/boozy side, and more toward the mainstream, while still smelling special, and carefully put together.

It’s priced at $106/85 for 100/60ml, and is sold on the Givenchy website as well as various retailers.
