Black pepper opens with a dry peppery snap and lavender arrives almost immediately alongside, cool and herbal and slightly soapy, so the first minutes are crisp rather than sweet. Iris takes over the middle and it is the best thing in the fragrance: cool, powdery, faintly metallic, with that expensive grey quality the material gives when it is used generously. Peru balsam sits under the iris and warms it with a sweet resinous depth, almost like a dark syrup. The base is patchouli and vanilla, earthy and damp against smooth and sweet, and the tension between those two is what carries the second half of the wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix materials, used with weight rather than variety. At eau de parfum strength it projects confidently for two or three hours and then holds close for the rest of the day, and it is a fragrance that rewards restraint in application: two sprays is right, four is too many, and the drydown is worth waiting for rather than drowning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at men, works best in cool weather and after dark, and is formal enough for a wedding or a dinner while staying wearable at a desk. If you already know the lighter versions in the same line, this is the one with the most body, and the one to buy in a full bottle if the iris is what you are after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHubert de Givenchy opened his Paris house in 1952 and it is owned by LVMH today, the fragrance side operating as a separate maison within the group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Givenchy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54445859438919,"sku":"ENG162605","price":102.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng162605.webp?v=1785254898","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/givenchy-gentleman-eau-de-parfum-100ml-eng162605","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
