What’s in it?
This scent rocks the juxtaposition of freshness and creamy, woody boldness. It’s loaded with cardamon and sage and the smell of musky French narcissus (like a daffodil) alongside vibrant green vetiver. The woody warm aroma is thanks to a blend of vanilla, cedar and sandalwood. But what is so striking is how it looks. Inspired by the fashion from one of Paris's most prestigious houses, the black lacquer bottle is embossed with the famous silver G’s of the Givenchy logo. Finally, in keeping with the new wave of conscious scents, the glass is15 per cent post-consumer recycled.
Givenchy Gentleman Society EDP is available in 60ml, $159, 100ml, and $221.
Why do we like it?
A classic aromatic woody scent with a hint of musky floral. This newbie from Givenchy also has elements of rich earthiness thanks to the woods and vanilla. It will appeal to anyone who loves a long-lasting, woody scent. It’s bold and daring for the confident fragrance lover, and like the brand that has been around since the 1950s, it’s exquisite.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
