Givenchy Gentleman EDP — the iris-patchouli classic of the modern aristocratic man
Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum is the 2017 Eau de Parfum from French luxury house Givenchy. Widely searched as "Givenchy Gentleman", "Gentleman Givenchy", "Givenchy Gentleman EDP", "Gentleman perfume", in Russian "Живанши Джентльмен", "Джентльмен", "Givenchy Джентльмен", "Gentleman духи" or simply "Gentleman". The composition is signed by renowned perfumer Olivier Cresp (Black Opium, Dior J'adore L'Absolu).
Gentleman and the Givenchy men's heritage
Givenchy released the original Gentleman in 1957 — a patchouli-tobacco classic men's fragrance. In 2017 the brand reformulated the Gentleman name for a modern male audience: the new Gentleman EDP is fresher and more "iris-patchouli" oriented, serving a "modern gentleman" image. Actor Jude Law has been the face of the campaign for many years.
The character of Gentleman EDP
Givenchy Gentleman EDP sits in the classic aromatic fougère family, but what sets it apart from typical men's fragrances is the iris note. Pepper, lavender and blackcurrant on the opening give it a spicy-aromatic "modern gentleman" start; iris, geranium and lavender in the heart add powdery-masculine depth — this is its signature heart layer; patchouli, leather, vanilla, musk and ambrette in the base warm the dry-down and create the "dense gentleman aura" performance. Sillage is dense, longevity 8–10 hours.
Who is it for?
Gentleman EDP is ideal for a 25+ male audience. It serves a classic and "modern aristocrat" masculine image. Versatile across the office, business meetings, evening dates, birthdays, weddings and romantic occasions. Season-agnostic. Fans of sweeter men's fragrances (e.g. JPG Le Male) will find Gentleman "more serious and dry", but for classic gentleman seekers it's ideal.
