Gentleman, a Classic Woody Chypre

Givenchy Gentleman is a classic woody chypre. Our version keeps that feel, opening with tarragon, cinnamon, and bergamot before a patchouli, vetiver, and iris heart settles over soft leather, woods, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Givenchy built Gentleman as a bold, distinguished scent, all aromatic herbs and warm patchouli with a leathery base. The idea was refined, confident masculinity.

That warm distinction is its appeal. The tarragon and cinnamon give it an aromatic lift, the patchouli and vetiver make it woody, and the leather and musk give it a classic depth. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
