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.
