I actually find this to be one of the most accessible-to-women men's scents out there...
Here's why:
GG evokes whimsical associations with nature, woodlands, "elfin magic" and that sort of stuff! I smell fresh herbs and roots and earth,a crude leather shoulder bag, something camphorous and magical brewing...something spicy and sweet, too..hot mead???
I daresay it's an earthy, romantic, warming, and healthful scent for either gender!!
I have to mourn the reformulation, though...It's less natural and real in all the exciting ways...
If you can find an old bottle, it is well worth your effort.

Probably, Givenchy thought of a perfume that doesn't only make you smell good, but feel good as well. Just like some have said, it makes you a confident and elegant man - IMO it doesn't matter what your outfit is. Like happened with OdeKlotyo, Gentleman's one of the few scents that ever got me some compliments - the others being from the house of Givenchy as well. These guys know how to make a perfume that'll stand out.

I'll start talking about lasting and projection. On my skin, it goes through the whole day. After 12 hours, it's still there. Sillage is good for the first 4 hours, but is reactivated if it gets warmer. Then it gets close to the skin in a slow pace.

Now, the engineering chapter. The first blast is strong and pretty much unlikeable. A nose repeller - I'll talk about it later. This lasts for some 15, 20 minutes. Well, let's call it maturation, for what comes after is the art of perfumery in its highest form. Patchouli is always there, but some times you smell hints of leather, cinnamon, honey, roses, a low vetiver...
I walk out the office to have lunch - from the air conditioner to the warmth of the Brazilian sun - and it changes. It starts to rain and it changes. It gets dark and it changes. Have in mind that all these mutations are exceptionally good - not included those damn first minutes. Gentleman has the most beautiful drydown I've ever seen. Yet to be found in other scent, this dynamic quality.

I kinda made this my signature scent, and that's where those terrifying first minutes prove to be useful. Whenever a person goes to a store and have it sprayed onto his skin, he'll think "holy shit I'll never wear this for the life of me". The nose-in-a-hurry repeller effect. Those who can wait a quarter of an hour to seal the deal will end up gifted with an almost exclusive scent that'll most likely become their signature.

IT'S ONE OF THE BEST SCENTS I HAVE EVER SMELL.....BEAUTIFUL WOODY, ALDEHYD BASE NOTES AND...THIS CHARACTERISTIC SWEET-COLOGNE SMELL AT BEGINNING.....REALY GOOD MASCULINE PERFUM (it's smells on the background like CHANEL 5-my mother use givenchy gentelmen too)

Really like this smell on my husband. Classic and confident.

I bought a new bottle of Gentleman recently, after having had a small 30 ml/1 fl.oz. "vintage" bottle from '98 that lasted for quite a few years, and I couldn't help but notice that the volume has been turned down significantly in the new one, with a concomitant shorter tenacity, and most obviously that dark, sweaty animalic note (the civet that is often perceived as urine) was at least partially removed or replaced with something, hm, lesser. But it's an ill wind, so the toned-down temperament of its current incarnation will render it more wearable for many.
It's still an elegant, charming, classy and gentlemanly scent. And very Givenchy. On the right person, and on the right occasion, it will work wonders.
(Funnily, this is one of the very few fragrances that I EVER got complimented on.)

There is no doubt about lasting and silage. But it is not sexy from any angle, just an old classic (for those who dare to wear it) but not a masterpiece. By sniffing this one I got the idea of what people call dated and old-school actually, I am sure since its existence it can’t be liked by majority even only 5-10 out of 100 may like this perfume.

Many resemble it to the smell of urine. But I think it is not that correct but only a way to show their disappointment with Givenchy, Gentlemen, but for me (even I am very fond of classics) it gives the affect of some nasty-sour mixture of water and salt sprayed over to grass, dry bushes, broken branches and smelly stones.

No woman should dare to try this one. A true masculine scent. And a classic one. I love it!

A most classic fragrance and a favourite of mine. Very frankincense and leather. Long-lasting, good sillage, very different from any other scent on the market. Instantly recognisable. Reminds me of a great time in the mid-70s when people knew how to enjoy the good life and glamour.
