Gentleman Givenchy Eau de Toilette
Givenchy · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2017
≈ $90 · 100ml · approx. retail
The 2017 relaunch reinterprets the Gentleman name as a modern woody-floral fougère built around a clean iris-and-lavender heart over a patchouli-leather accord. Signed by Olivier Cresp and Nathalie Lorson, it trades the original's animalic weight for a contrast of fruity pear, spicy cardamom and soft black vanilla.
