Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray is a refined, dressed-up masculine fragrance from the iconic French house Givenchy, launched in 2022 and composed by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp in collaboration with a master whisky distiller. The composition opens on bergamot with whisky absolute; settles into a warm heart of iris, chestnut and benzoin; and dries down on a deep base of cedarwood, vetiver, whiskey, woody notes and amber.
About Givenchy
Givenchy is one of the great French couture houses, founded by Hubert de Givenchy in Paris in 1952 and celebrated for refined, elegant tailoring — most famously dressing Audrey Hepburn. Its perfumery, today produced under licence with LVMH, includes the iconic Gentleman line for men. Reserve Privée extends the line into deeper, more dressed-up territory.

The story behind Reserve Privée
Reserve Privée was conceived around the imagery of a private whisky reserve — its bergamot-and-whisky opening evokes a poured glass, the iris-and-chestnut heart adds polished warmth, and the cedarwood-vetiver-amber base extends the trail into a long, dressed-up sillage. Crafted in collaboration with a master whisky distiller for an unusually nuanced, boozy depth.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love refined, dressed-up boozy-woody masculines — fans of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir or YSL La Nuit de L'Homme will find Reserve Privée a familiar match. Best in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, formal and special-occasion wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for evening wear.
