Gentleman Boisée
Givenchy Gentleman Boisee is the driest reading of Gentleman, and the cocoa bean in the heart is what keeps it from being austere.
Black pepper, geranium and coriander open it. All three are dry: the pepper hot, the geranium green with a metallic edge, the coriander warm and faintly soapy. There is no citrus to lift it, so the fragrance starts dark.
Iris, cocoa bean and cedarwood form the heart. Iris comes from the root and is powdery and cool, cedarwood sharp, and the cocoa bean is raw rather than confected, so it reads bitter and dusty rather than sweet. That combination of powder and bitterness is the character of the whole thing.
Sandalwood and patchouli finish it, one creamy and one earthy, and they give the dry middle a warm floor without sweetening it.
How Gentleman Boisee wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately. Autumn and winter suit it, and it works at a desk as readily as in the evening.
Givenchy Gentleman Boisee Eau de Parfum, launched in 2020 by Givenchy, the Paris house founded in 1952.
