This is a put together man wearing a white pressed shirt, chinos and an understated watch... Lasts four hours on my skin, but what an amazing few hours it is.
Fresh, Bright, clean, and SMOOTH... starts off fruity; Juicy pineapple and cardamom paired with that clean iris drying down to leather and vanilla... Pretty good daily wear.
Love this Fragrance! I'm surprised it only has a 3.90. I get that it's not as rich as the ones that came after... but thats what I love about it. I can wear this anytime/anyplace.
Incredibly versatile for work and social settings
Sophisticated iris note that's perfectly balanced
Consistent performance without being overwhelming
High compliment factor from refined crowd

For me it is too synthetic. I want to like it, because I love the Givenchy Gentleman line, but I can't.
Flat simply flat, but hey it's an EDT can't expect much though some do perform very well.
In my opinion, the modern iteration of Gentleman is a rather dull and unoriginal fragrance. Its overly sweet opening... ultimately falls into a style that has been heavily overused in recent years.
May be too subtle for those wanting beast mode performance
Iris note might read powdery to some
Not particularly unique in crowded designer market
