What flavor to choose for a young man: spicy, fresh, woody? It is desirable that he fit perfectly and evoke only pleasant associations. In perfumery stores, there are so many different flavors that it’s easy to get confused and leave without buying, or succumb to persuasion of consultants and take the proposed new product. However, if you are looking for a men's perfume that is suitable for any situation, do not pass by the Givenchy boutique.
Gentleman Only
Givenchy in 2013 re-released the legendary fragrance of 1974, forcing him to sparkle with new colors. The creators of the fragrant novelty left a characteristic sound, but instilled in him the spirit of modernity. Even the original design of the bottle has survived: a strict classic bottle with a weighted bottom and a concise label. Nothing more, real asceticism and aesthetics.
The man who is suitable for "Gentleman Only", "Givenchy" represents as a real dandy: refined, well-mannered, knowing his own worth, behaving with dignity. Each of his actions is filled with meaning, he does not throw words into the wind.
What does this real gentlemanly perfume sound like? The top notes of the aroma reveal the freshness of green mandarin, seasoned with the spice of pink pepper and nutmeg, then a more masculine chord of birch leaves comes in. In the heart of the composition, woody notes become more intense due to white cedar, vetiver and patchouli. The final chords close to the skin are incense and musk.
At first, the aroma is a little sweet, but gradually it opens and a slight acidity appears, giving way to thick woody notes. The pyramid is built very competently, all the transitions are soft, not irritating to the nose.
Gentleman Online Intense
In 2014, a new men's fragrance from the Givenchy fashion house appeared. Gentleman Online Intense became the flanker of the successful perfume, released a year earlier.
The corporate design of the bottle has been preserved, only the color of the glass has changed: a transparent gradient from gray to black has replaced the transparent blue.
The main upper notes remained, however, pink pepper was replaced with a sharper black one. In the heart to patchouli added notes of dressed leather and Texas cedar. The base combines the accords of tonka bean, frankincense and ambergris.
The aroma has become more saturated and deep, but at the same time it is soft, noble and a little velvet.
"Gentleman Online Casual Chic"
Continues the men's line "Gentleman Onley" ("Givenchy") another flanker, released by the fashion house in 2015.
The design of the bottle returned to its original version, but was complemented by a playful orange vertical stripe.
The perfume pyramid has undergone significant changes. Top notes are revealed with a freshly spicy combination of ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and juniper, a touch of almost imperceptible geranium adds a touch of sweetness. In the heart of the extravaganza of spices balance calm woody notes (birch leaf and white cedar) and mint-lavender freshness. A trendy ambroxan, a little vanilla sweetness, smoky vetiver and the warmth of sandalwood were added to the database. The result was a delicious woody-spicy composition suitable for daily wear.
Gentlemen Only Parisian Break
Another flanker of the almost gentleman perfume “Gentleman Only” (“Givenchy”). The new fragrance of 2016 does not resemble the original version, it acquired a completely new sound.
Top notes are a kind of anthem of freshness and energy: the combination of mint and lemon is very bright and intense. Only one chord prevails in the heart - sage, which is gradually replaced by sparkling, spiny notes of Ambroxan and Vetiver.
The fragrance is light, summer, with medium durability. Will appear in Russia only in the spring.

If you want to become the owner of the original version of perfume, and not a replica, then it is better to buy aroma in proven large perfume and cosmetics stores. The cost will be significantly higher than the attractive prices of Internet sites, but also the confidence that this is not a "pig in a poke", either.
