The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp, Gentleman 2017 is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that defies traditional gender boundaries. It opens with bright fruity notes of pear and pineapple, balanced by the aromatic complexity of cardamom and lavender. The heart introduces iris and geranium for an air of sophistication, while the base brings warmth through leather and black vanilla husk, grounded by patchouli.
This composition is a proof of Givenchy's legacy of blending French elegance with modern sensibilities, offering a scent that is both lasting and contemporary.
Gentleman 2017's top notes are bright but fleeting; apply two sprays to ensure that the rich base notes of leather and vanilla have time to develop. It pairs well with both casual and formal settings, making it an ideal choice for a day-to-day scent.
