Givenchy pour Homme Givenchy for men

This is an alluring scent.
It is fresh, but not acidic, classy, but not dated, subtle, but not forgetable, calm, but not boring...
Oh, my! I could go on and on for hours.
Even though it is a warm woody smell, it's not as dominat as many other woody fragrences for men.
I find it suitable for men and women who desire a perfume that is calm, poised and doesn't "make a fuss" .
This perfume doesn't yell "Here we go!", but gently murmurs "Come closer...".
It's lovely!

very nice,fresh,woody and a modern scent...perfect for night time..

A MUST TRY

Certainly an interesting and unique 'woody' fragrance with a classic masculine (almost musky) character.. This is undoubtedly a gentleman's scent, but the overall personality to me is late thirties onward. Just a personal preference, as others have noted, nothing too exciting about this scent. Just a simple, clean & natural classic.

The aromatic greenish-tan scent is pungent and herbal at first, almost leathery -- this soon softens to a sweeter, barely recognizable citrus and vetiver suede. The woodsy spice of the cedar, coriander and vetiver dominate this scent, but the sweet floral and citrus notes round it out nicely.

Ideally suited for office wear and anything from business casual to corduroy. It's a classic scent that arguably could be appropriate to wear year-round because it has enough fresh, fruity sweetness to get through spring & summer.


Overall: 7/10
Longevity: 5/10
Sillage: 7/10

Nice woody fragrance with character. I think there is nothing to complain about this fragrance. But there is no Givenchy wow factor to this juice. I really love the base notes of this one and also longevity on my skin is very good.

I like this for office wear.

Overall 8 out of 10

Great surprise. Very nice citrus/woody fragrance, elegant and casual at the same time. Good longevity, about 7-8 hours. Final rate 8/10.

WOODY...!!!
Just like fresh cut wood..
Little bit strong. Not my type.
Its more deep than Tere D'hermes and more nature.

Do not blind buy. Try it first..

just the best one!

An absolutely superlative fragrance.Very refreshing,exhilarating & relaxing.Top quality.

This has become one of my go-to no brainer, linear fragrances that I reach for on a regular basis. There is nothing overly "interesting" about this scent, but it has a beautiful balance of subtle cedar, grapefruit, and vetiver. It is not a scent that many will remark on, except the occasional other who gets close enough, who will probably remark, "Damn, you smell good!" I have many interesting fragrances to choose from, but this is one I wear when I don't want to stand out olfactorily, but I want to exude a subtle sweet confidence. A similar cedar as in Laliqe Equus, but without the overly sweet base, and a touch of grapefruit for balance and acidity. Love that cedar!!

A nice scent, but lacks that edgy appeal. The idea was to create a "gentleman's" scent but they were not specific on whether they were regarding a younger or an older gentleman. Either way, it is a mass market appeal fragrance perfect for any teen to a guy in his late 20's.

The top notes to this are fantastic and last quite some time. Imagine a fresh citrus floral. YES!!! Even the transition to the heart is great with the fruits, exotic spices, and florals creating something interesting, something with an old world feel blended with a modern take. The base is a big disappointment though. This had so much potential! The top and the heart had a great thing working but this just turns into another ambery, cedar based floral at the base. The funny thing is that amber is not even in the note breakdown but it is defintely there, or at least my nose picks up on it. If you like the amber and cedar in allure homme sport, then I highly recommend this one but if you want this scent with that edge I mentioned, I would recommend trying Hearts & Daggers from Ed Hardy, at least that one stays spicy throughout the scent life and keeps me entertained everytime I wear it. Oh, and True Religion Drifter and Givenchy Pour Homme have the exact same drydown.... the exact same, I thought I would add that.

Overall, this is a perfect, safe scent that is highly inoffensive and will get positive attention. Sillage is good for 1-2 hours then it becomes a skin scent, and the scent life is around 4-6 hours. Since I do enjoy it, I give it a thumbs up but a "thumbs up" slightly into the neutral.

Love this fragrance... it has been and still is one of my absolute favorites. Clean and easy!!
Givenchy makes some of the best scents.

I wanted to try this the other day and couldn't find it anywhere - I live in France! Does anyone know why - have they discontinued it or something?

Muy Givenchy,
Discreta pero con mucha clase, el fondo o secado es finisimo, rico, masculino y sin agresividad.
Es mas para disfrutarla uno mismo en la propia piel que para dejar una estela olfativa.
Aunque tiene un arranque a lo CK luego deviene Givenchy, lo dicho, muy Givenchy.

i dont smell any olibanum in this. only a pungent and strong leather smell towards the end.

its very clean and fresh, non offensive. so so beautiful & lovely. you can go wrong with this one. its a must have.

i agreed with Zocha, that you may just want stick your nose to it and never move back.

Note: anyone who does not like the scent of this perfume, need to be examined

este es un perfume gusto de mujeres ,elegante y con olor a limpio es una exelente opción para usar de diario en oficina ,tiene algo de naranjas que provocan relax.

Clean, fresh and cool.

It starts with citruses sensation then you can smell the vetiver..and maybe i'm wrong but i could smell the cardamom.
it lasts for a long time .. and for me I would wear this just in summer times.

Just got this one and when I first sprayed it I thought it smelled like a cleaning chemicals? then the next day I put it on and my wife said it smells like a "man"! So now I like it!

I wore it the first time, its good, after some time I can smell cardamom. Its similar to blue label however on my skin does not last like it.

An interesting male fragrance, not unique but it is nice and manly. There are a lot of other similar to this in the market but I like it

I like the top notes and for me it's seems spicy

When I tried on my skin somehow smelt so synthetic. I couldnt believe it was from Givenchy.
I ll try again. It shouldnt be.

bought this for my dad..he luv this..fresh smells n long lasting, the smell will stay on ur shirts..suggest this for guys who smokes, heavy smoker indeed

A perfume sober, however young. It has a sophisticated smell. Simple and elegant. Using this perfume has no error. Going to please everyone. Classic!

As ticalau said, the bottle is a little ridiculous, but the stuff inside is really nice.

This is a warm, spicy wood fragrance that, to me, projects warmth, trust and youth. Someone left this fragrance behind in my apartment, so I have no idea who it actually belonged to in the first place. It reminded me of a young man in a suit and tie, smiling genuinely and offering a firm handshake.

Gentlemen, please feel free to wear this one whenever you wish.

Even though ginger isn't mentioned as one of the notes, I'm sure that I detect it in this fragrance. Great smell though. It was a toss up between this and emporio diamonds by Armani, I chose this one and I'm satisfied with my choice.

How can a fragrance be spicy and sickly sweet at the same time !?
If you don't know then you have to try this one.
Being spicy and sweet at the same time can be enjoyable for some but not for me. The note of coriander way too strong. I can say that this fragrance has just one note: coriander. The coriander is the one which is spicy and the others bring their contribution not like different notes, notes that are supposed to be detectable, but like a mixture, a sweet one. Together this two are like a bomb that waits to be detonated. And when you detonate it (spray it on your skin) a war starts, oh man, and then I hope you have a close source of water near you because this one you'll make you puke.
A big stinker. The first fragrance that I dislike.Hmm.. dislike is not the right word. I hate it!
My advice: not a safe blind buy. Try it first, not once, but a few times, because this can be tricky.

I really love this fragrance. To me it's warm/woody and fruity/fresh all at the same time.

While I'm not yet experienced enough to be able to distinguish all the individual notes, I can clearly smell the mandarin orange & grapefruit, as well as the woody cedar. Such a great combination. In my opinion this can be worn anywhere at any time.

The longevity & sillage are great. I put this on before 3:00pm and I can still smell it quite clearly now at 8:00pm.

The House of Givenchy is becoming my absolute favourite when it comes to men's fragrances. Another winner!

It has a special identity...classy scent to be used every now and then, especially in cold weather IMO....I like it but I will not be rebuying it.

This is a great cologne, fresh but not too light, comfortable to wear everyday; I've received compliments for it ;)

mmmm this one smells really good! it is not heavy, and very pleasant. my brother has it. I will consider buying this for my boyfriend too haha

Crispy and fresh fragrance for attention seeking men.Second best after Xeryus Rouge.

got this as a gift , good one .feels nice to wear it , liked by people around .

I tried this one out today I was actually looking to try out "Gentleman" but the store had sold out. I really like the longevity and silage of this fragrance. It started out fruity sweet and woody and the woodiness has continued up until now - after 8 hours it is still potent.

A nice sexy-fresh fragrance. It is fresh, but not aquatic, it has some non-tart sweetness added to it, plus you can smell clearly the woods. Definitely, another great Givenchy.And another thing, if you like this but want another Labdanum fragrance that is not citrus oriented, try Alviero Martini 1A Classe Uomo. These two scents have a similar type of sweetness and warmth.

I've had Pour Homme Blue Label for a while and I love it but for some strange reason I never came across with this one until yesterday when I went to get my second bottle of Very Irresistible (great scent) and I saw it there. I tried it for curiosity and was speechless... Wow! what a great perfume! Masculine, elegant, chic... It was love at first sniff :D
I don't know why this isn't very popular being as good as it is; I saw it on sale for 150$ (that's cheap in a volatile Economy like the one we have in my country) and bought it instantly. I highly recommend that you try this one, it's magic like all Givenchy scents.

It is so beautiful that you may just want stick your nose to it and never move back. I used to buy it for my boyfriend year after year for his birthday and finely decided to use it myself. It is not really a unisex but on me it is soooo beautiful, I love it and get many compliments. My favorite for many years now, there is nothing like it! Simply a masterpiece!

Addition: there is a "Givenchy pour Homme Silver Collector Limited Edition" of this perfume. It differs by notes of SILVER. That means sharpy belling notes, sounding like chorus, very similar to STDupont "belling" style. I think that was added for balancing purposes, because original "Pour Homme" is WARM and not sharpy, thus it has slightly relaxation feature for its carrier (You).
These metal silver notes add some sharpness and make perfume a bit more "official", more business style. BUT personally I think it is *NOT ALWAYS* valuable addition.
The price of Silver version is the same or a bit higher.

ILIAS ERMENIDIS ITS SO HAPPY WHIT THIS REVIEWS I TOLD HIM ABOUT ,AND THANKS U ALL FOR GOOD COPLEMENTS

Amazing. NOTHING compares to it. Quite complex but very well balanced perfume. It is really masculine: woody a lot, slightly tobacco and somewhere classy leather. Additionally it is breath-full, neither sharp nor rounded and VERY EASY to wear - as for me. Contains very natural components without modern italian "chemistry".
BEST OF THE BEST among sweet classy perfumes - as for me. No "acid", no artificial "freshness", no "menthol" at all: freshness is "naturally born" or "buit-in" with this perfume.
Can be very seducive for *skilled* women, who know where the male character is actually hidden.
Smells like NEW expensive leather bag standing on a NEW table made of cedar or red wood, close to box of expensive cigars and to open bottle of french cognac.
Analogues are: HUGO BOSS "Selection" (very close, but less complex), LaCoste Pour Homme (more cofee and vanilla), maybe Davidoff "Silver Shadow Private" (more bold and straight, less complex, more menthol).
The color of the bottle - brown - equally reflects the scent of this perfume, but the shape of bottle is not adequate - it should be something like Armani Attitude - cigarette lighter.
Lasts 10+ hours without ANY changes.

special perfume for special mans mr ermenidis make a exelant job again ,frech clean everyday perfume

This was my third fragrance this year, an autumn one (I think it pretty match the cold-rainy weather). The 1ml sample I received from a friend stayed opened in my car for 2weeks and the woody vetiver/cedar/labdanum smell intrigued me so much that I decided to order it. Now I have it for 3 months & I love it. I'm sure that 'davana' note listed in commercial is a powerful binding to all middle & base notes, because the spicy/fresh opening is followed by a perfect balanced warm/stylish/incensy/woody trail that lasts very long. I liked very much the old 'Pi' which was a stunner and I love 'PourHomme' for myself and my special girl, especially in cold & grey times. My rank 9/10.

I've discovered this one about two months ago and i didn't had a great impression of it, but i still brought it. Now, i don't regret it as i fell in love with this one.

Indeed this perfume brings me more close to Christmass when i wear it, cause it gives me a sensation of comfort, elegance, peace & warmth. Like i would be while sitting in my warm home next to a burning fire in my fireplace, while outside i was hearing the "cold chills" of the wind :).

A great classic & stylish fragrance. It starts pretty spicy cause of the coriander, remembering me of the base of Visit by Azzaro, but warms down to the base where i love the dry vetiver & cedar notes.
A great addition to anyones collection :D.

I just love when my boyfriend wears it. It is a classic no-nonsense perfume for a sophisticated but kind and generous man. Not for clubbing or sports.

Very nice one! I like this more then Blue label... it's mutch elegant and warm... Indeed remind me of Blue label, but this smell mutch better. The base notes smell like cedar so mutch, and gives an air of holidays, of winter holidays, best for Christmas! And i like that it's poweful enough ! The bottle it's not that great, just like the blue label, only the color differ, but it's ok ;)

A nice purfume for men

I love this fragrance, in my opinion it's one of the best classic warm woody fragrance for men.
It is my favourite smell for winter days, when I'd like to have a rest.

This is a great woody smell cologne. I really fell in love with this in 2005. Was one of my favorites but grown to love others.
