About This Perfume
Think spiced leather briefcase, sweet tonka haze: that is Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense. It opens with birch leaf, green mandarin orange and black pepper, moves into leather, patchouli and texas cedar and settles on tonka bean, amber and frankincense. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days and date nights. Released in 2014.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $59.

How the top picks smell
Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge (Eau de Parfum, 2021) opens with ginger and blood orange and ends on sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver; overall it reads as creamy white flowers, ginger sparkle and peppery warmth. For Givenchy L'Interdit (1957), expect powdery floral and green fruit in soft musk: aldehydes and peach up top, musk, amber and sandalwood underneath. Givenchy Irresistible Givenchy (Eau de Parfum, 2020) comes across as soft pear cream with powdery floral rose, with pear and Ecuadorian ambrette seed absolute at the start and musky notes, blond woods and Virginia cedar at the base.
