A sophisticated woody aromatic fragrance with spicy opening and warm, creamy sandalwood base. Part of Givenchy's Gentleman collection with a focus on natural woody elements.
What People Say
The black tea note in the base creates a sophisticated, almost Earl Grey-like warmth that sets it apart from typical woody fragrances
Black pepper and coriander opening delivers genuine spice without being harsh or overwhelming
Sandalwood base is creamy and natural-smelling rather than synthetic or powdery
Juniper adds an interesting gin-like botanical quality that bridges the spicy top and woody base perfectly
Performance is disappointingly weak for an EDP - becomes a skin scent within 3-4 hours
The black tea note can smell dusty or musty on some people's skin
Price point feels steep given the mediocre longevity and projection
Great for
Men who want something woody and sophisticated that feels mature without being old-fashioned, especially those who appreciate unique notes like black tea.
Not for
Anyone looking for a powerhouse fragrance or those who dislike tea/herbal notes that can read as dusty.
Longevity
4-6 hours total, becomes a skin scent after 3 hours
Projection
Moderate for first hour, then close to skin
Value
Overpriced for the performance you get - better woody options exist for less money
