smelled this has a nice smell to it kinda a fresh woodsy clean scent but nothing extraordinary and very common, its like a copy of 10 thousand other scents with a couple of notes changed but nonetheless a good option

A soft aromatic-woody fragance, nice, comfortable and easy to wear.. the last touch is close to Pi neo with a fruity-dry floral angle.

Lets try the counterpart " intense".

Nice enough. A "déjà vu" feeling, however, immediately after smelled this, which made me thinking about some other recents perfumes I've smelled, and is a reason (for me) to look for something slightly different. The intense version is better, in the sense that it has a nice "coffee note" at the beggining, one of the nicest I've smelled so far. BUT, when that note vanishes (Play Intense), what I got is, again, this Givenchy Play Eau de Toilete ...

The first time I smelled this I loved it and immediately bought it for my boyfriend, who likes it too. It's fresh, citrusy, with just the right amount of patchouli to keep it masculine but not too heavy or dark.

I just received this as a birthday gift! I wanted it so bad ever since it launched... You can never go wrong with Givenchy, seriously. At first glance though the bottle threw me off. A givenchy cologne with fake buttons on it? Uh Oh, not good... YES GOOD! The liquid sealed inside is incredible! :)

It's such a mellow, comfortable, warm, refreshing, clean, modern, soft, gentle and classy scent. I hope you get the idea lol. The citruses are just perfect, very uplighting and the pepper gives the citruses a great undertone. I think there are secret ingredients in this or something because the four listed above are just too incredible to be true for this cologne.

If I could compare the way this smells to other colognes I'd say it's Dior's Homme Sport combined with the same light drydown effect of Givenchy's Pi Neo.

The longevity is great too. It last on me all day, as usual. I never get sick of the fragrance either.

Ok we all have been wondering the same thing: Which is better? The Original or Intense? And really there is no answer to that. It all comes down to personal preference. They smell very similar, with citruses and coffee being what I smell the most in them. The Original has more of the citruses, whereas the Intense has more of the coffee.

I see Givenchy Play staying in the department stores for a looooong time. But hey, what Givenchy fragrance hasn't? There is a reaaasoooon ^^v

It smells very nice. Refreshing and citrusy. I personally love it!!! It is not overwhelming and the perfect cologne for someone who has a sensitive nose. I also agree that it is suitable for young adults. I have plans to buy it for my sixteen yr old brother.

when I tested it for the first time I was amaized and bought it immediatelly, gave it to my brother and guess what-he loooooves it.

very clean perfume, for a modern young creative person.
citrus is not too prominent here, it just gives you the freshness you expect from a perfume created for Young and bold at heart:)))

my brother says that this perfume always works-during snowboarding in the mountaings its pleasant, at a night club it attracts girls, and our mom and grannie liked it too:)))
