A flower one of the noblest ingredients in the perfumer’s entire palette, iris is combined with a more masculine scent of cedar. Warm aromas of cocoa reinforce the indulgence of this fragrance.

In 2020, the Givenchy house invites us to discover a new variation of its iconic Gentleman, this time transformed into a Wooded Eau de Parfum. Well known to the public since 2017, the Gentleman fragrance by Givenchy has already been followed by an Eau de Parfum in 2018 and a Cologne in 2019. This time, the emphasis is on virility and this essence gives us a breath infinitely refined and spicy. So, how about rediscovering this elegant and subtle essence with more ardor and temperament? Let’s see in more detail what it is about its composition.
Pepper, the dominant scent of the top notes of Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée
Most of the time, perfumes begin with a fresh citrus scent, which gives the fragrances all their liveliness and energy. If Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée does not lack enthusiasm in its start, it nevertheless relies on a completely different olfactory register. Here, there is no question of freshness, but rather an incandescent and spicy heat. The top notes of Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée are particularly peppery. Black pepper dominates and is associated with a geranium, more floral and elegant, but also releasing a peppery breath in the background. Coriander also joins the whole and gives an additional relief to this perfume, revealing a more aromatic and almost orange note. Emblematic of men’s fragrances, it then opens the way to a more gourmet heart…
A gourmet and powdery heart
The central notes of Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée are diametrically opposed to its start . They are much more rounded and greedy, as if to reveal all the tenderness of the one who wears this fragrance. The cocoa here deploys its toasted and slightly bitter flavor, while making our mouths water. It is completed by the woody dryness of cedar, a raw material widely used in male essences. Then, as if to underline the refinement of this perfume, Givenchy decided to add one of the most noble materials from the perfumer’s entire palette: the iris. Flower exclusively intended for fine perfumery, it leaves here a very elegant floral and powdery touch.
The woods, undeniable source of virility of Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée
It is finally in its base that Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée lets all its personality fully express itself. As if to reveal all the masculine power that lies dormant in him, it is mainly articulated around woody notes. Patchouli asserts its character while giving birth to a part of nostalgia in us. Indeed, it is a mythical ingredient of the hippie current, emblematic of the 70s. Here, it is softened by sandalwood, an element just as masculine, but rounder and smoother.
Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée is aimed at all men with a strong personality, remaining elegant in all circumstances and ultimately hiding a tender heart under their shell.
