Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 2018): Peppery lavender and powdery iris over dark vanilla woods
A woody floral scent built around a smooth iris note, balancing clean aromatic freshness with a warm, balmy depth. In the Gentleman range, this is the original 2018 Eau de Parfum, not the later Boisée or Réserve Privée versions.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Pepper, lavender
Heart: Orris
Base: Patchouli, black vanilla
What It Smells Like
It opens crisp and aromatic, with lavender sharpened by a dry pepper snap. Within minutes, a powdery iris note moves to the front, giving a soft, elegant texture. As it dries down, the scent turns warmer and darker, where patchouli adds structure and the vanilla feels deep rather than sugary.
Who Is It For
For anyone who likes a clean dressed up style with a softer iris signature instead of loud sweetness. Marketed for men, but the iris and vanilla balance makes it broadly wearable.
When to Wear
Best in fall and winter, especially evenings and smart casual settings.
