Gentleman Reserve Privée Gift Set
Chestnut and orris are what give Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée Gift Set its character, a sweet roasted nuttiness turned cool and powdery. Above them the fragrance opens on bergamot and whisky, citrus and spirit together, bright and boozy for a few minutes before the powder takes over. The result is warm without being sweet and smooth without being soft.
Benzoin sits with the chestnut and orris in the heart and warms them with resin, so the middle stays rounded rather than sugary. The base is cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli: dry wood, root and damp earth, and it is where the fragrance spends most of its time on the skin. From citrus and whisky through nutted powder down to that woody floor the shape is clear, and the woody, iris and whiskey accords dominate, with violet, amber and a warm spice filling in around them and a nutty, faintly gourmand thread running the length of it.
The fragrance was composed by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp for Givenchy in 2022. Givenchy was founded in Paris in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy.
Long lasting with moderate sillage, it sits close through the day instead of announcing itself. All four seasons suit it, the woods and whisky reading richer in autumn and winter, and it covers professional wear, a night out and casual days alike. It is sold here as a gift set.
