Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum 60ml is the 2018 richer, more spicy intensification of the brand's 2017 Gentleman men's signature. Composed by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp, the EDP opens with black pepper, lavender and bergamot for a sharp aromatic lift; cloves, cinnamon and orris carry a spicy-floral heart; and a base of black vanilla husk, tolu balsam, tonka bean, benzoin and patchouli leaves a long, gourmand-tinted trail.
About Givenchy
Givenchy is a French luxury fashion house founded by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, internationally famous for its couture relationship with Audrey Hepburn — Givenchy designed her wardrobe in many of her best-known films. The house entered fragrance with L'Interdit in 1957 and has continued to produce some of French perfumery's most-recognised compositions, including the original Gentleman of 1974, which the modern Gentleman line revived in 2017.

The story behind Gentleman EDP
Where the 2017 Gentleman Eau de Toilette is a polished, slightly powdery iris-and-pear modern take on classical men's perfumery, the Eau de Parfum was briefed as its richer, evening-leaning version — heavier on the spice and base. The black pepper-and-cinnamon spine pairs naturally with the brand's distinctive black vanilla husk note, giving the composition its slightly gourmand finish. The bottle takes the recognisable Gentleman silhouette in a deep navy-tinted glass.
Who it's for
Gentleman EDP suits men drawn to spicy-amber men's fragrances with a subtly gourmand finish — wearers of fragrances like Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir, who appreciate elegant, classical-leaning compositions. Best in autumn and winter, ideal for evening, dinner and formal occasions.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — chest, sides of the neck, inside of the wrists — from around 15cm.
- Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for longer evening wear.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity, particularly on dry skin.
