Gentleman Eau de Toilette Intense: The new masculine fragrance from Givenchy
In 1952, he decided to found his own brand. Then, Hubert de Givenchy met, barely a year later, the young American actress Audrey Hepburn. A determining figure in his career, she encouraged him to get into perfumery. This was done in 1957. However, it was not until 1973 that the first male line appeared within the brand. This was followed by a male essence called Gentleman, in 1975. However, it is precisely a modernized version of this iconic juice that Givenchy delivers to us in its new Eau de Toilette Gentleman.
Gentleman, a perfume ahead of its time
For many, many years, perfumery was a factor exclusively for women. The men, for their part, sublimated their toilet with a touch of Eau de Cologne. They particularly appreciated its freshness. On the other hand, the tenacity of this product left something to be desired. Then, the actual perfume made its appearance. With a longer duration, it retains the freshness of Eaux de Cologne for a very long time. However, when Hubert de Givenchy decided to make the Gentleman perfume, he predicted that the men of his time had changed ... To satisfy them, he developed a perfume that was the opposite of the too timid juices of his time. Gentleman is not a limpid and transparent fragrance. It is a seductive and daring scent, displaying a pungent, wild and elegant masculinity.
The new Gentleman Eau de Toilette
The new version of Gentleman has retained the DNA of its predecessor while giving it a touch of novelty. Once again, the idea is to stand out and Gentleman is thus considered to be an immediately identifiable perfume. Its scent begins with an intense and striking freshness. This is provided by the crunchy presence of pear, a fresh fruit, barely ripe and very vegetal. Then, Gentleman highlights one of the noblest flowers from the perfumer's entire palette: the iris. This plant delivers here a very elegant powdery scent associated with one of the key ingredients of men's perfumery: lavender. The smell of Gentleman thus becomes more aromatic before evolving towards more eroticism. Finally, the Eau de Toilette Gentleman is ends with a duo of leather and patchouli. On the bottle side, this perfume is presented to us in a very graphic, massive and modern design. The look of its bottle is timeless and assertive. Its neoclassical style is very elegant, simply surrounded by a black band at its center. Gentleman is available in a 50ml or 100ml version.
