How does this compare to the original Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum?+−
While both feature iris, the Intense version is significantly fresher and more aromatic. It swaps the boozy, dense sweetness of the EDP for a crisp opening of basil and cypress, making it much more suitable for daytime and office wear.
Is this fragrance suitable for all seasons?+−
It is highly versatile and performs best during the transition seasons of spring and fall. While it has enough woody depth for winter, some users find it can become cloying in high summer humidity if applied too heavily.
To what gender is this fragrance marketed?+−
It is marketed as a fragrance for men, maintaining a traditional "barbershop" cleanliness through the basil and cypress, though its smooth, powdery iris heart can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates a sophisticated, woody-floral scent.
Is Gentleman Givenchy Intense a good choice for the office?+−
Yes, it is frequently cited as an ideal business fragrance. It projects an image of being "put-together" and clean without being overbearing or too loud for a shared workspace.
