Gents, Color me intrigued. This is the 3rd Givenchy I’ve tried now (my first night with this one) and damn I’m impressed. I’m not sure if the whole Gentleman line fits this bill (I have more samples coming this week), but for a fall/winter/date night fragrance…they just keep hitting the mark. I’ve tried the Intense EDT and Privee (definitely a favorite) and they don’t lose right now. I love the sharp, masculine woodiness that comes out. While I’m not against sweet, there is a difference between a mature sweetness and a playful sweetness and this comes across very mature. The woodiness, cacao and pepper are really giving this kind of a sexy incense smell. Not like something at a hippy store, but something more elevated. Man - I can’t wait to try the rest of the line because I’m looking for some solid starting blocks for my fall/winter lineup and especially some darker/deeper/mature frags for date night and I’m loving what Givenchy is selling right now. Have a hell of an evening gents 💪🏽

For a wet start to the day and knowing, as of now, I’m still walking a construction site, I’m going with something that reviews seem to say should be wearable on a rainy overcast day. Opens nice, so we shall see.

I think I’ve got everything I needed from GoS.. I have tested 3 so far: Win, High Roller and Wildcard.. I will be sharing my thoughts on the others in the coming weeks.. High Roller = Aventus Win = Greenwich Village Wildcard = Lafayette St What are your favorites from the line.. ?

My wife came home from work this evening and I was sleeping. She wanted to check my temperature. It was 103.7 😬 so I wasn’t doing too good. I’ve just gotten back from Urgent Care and turns out I have Pneumonia 🤦‍♂️ that’s not good. Sorry if I’ve missed any posts or comments today. I’ve been pretty out of it

I think this was actually recommended by our very own @Antonio Centeno, Ok so yes It was a blind buy, but I had been hunting it for a while. And boy was I super happy to find it and only €32 for a 100ml edp. Its a classic Oriental/Spicey fragrance with a touch of booziness to it. Released back in 2013 from the nose of Nathalie Lorson. As car frags go this is second only yo my Bugatti Amber. It opens up with a strong, even "harsh" or "synthetic," burst of herbaceous notes (Geranium, Clary Sage), black pepper, and that prominent boozy rum note. The fragrance quickly transitions into its core, where leather & cinnamon become dominant. Woody notes, frankincense & labdanum also play a significant role, keeping it from becoming overly sweet. The drydown becomes softer & more comforting, with vanilla & benzoin adding a delicious sweetness, supported by tender patchouli, cedar & some other woody notes. The leather and rum linger in the background. I cant see why you would not want this in your collection. It punches well above its class in the performance, with both projection & sillage. A cheap nut beautiful fragrance. Junt dont tell Bentley, they might up the price on us. Bentley is a long-lasting & projecting fragrance. If you enjoy a bold, boozy, leathery, spicy scent. It offers excellent value for its quality and is best suited for cooler weather and formal or evening occasions. My Rating 7.5/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
