This fragrance open very similar a Yves Saint Laurent L'homme, i have boths in my hand. but l'homme a bit spicy. Dry down Pi neo Tropical more fresh and L'homme more sweet

I turned ambivolent towards this one. I dont know why though. It could be that its such a tropical scent and there's nothing tropical in Michigan. It does smell fantastic though AND ladies seem to love the smell of it.I am wearing it today and i like it. I still dont know why i am not in love with it. we shall see though.

after using 10% of the bottle i am still confused about this one !!!!

its good and get some complements but i think it was better if i spend my money on something else more appeal to me ( i don't find it a competitor to another aquatic perfumes such as Issey Miyake or Bulgari aqva ) .

maybe its not what i meant when i was looking for something special or unordinary .

all i can say for now i think the comments below is over rate this perfume .

Oh My God this smells so good. I can't believe it. Wow! A+
First complament I've ever gotten. She said,
"you smell good."

I have had this on my eBay saved searches for what seems like an eternity and everytime it came back with nothing...then late Sunday...there it was in all its 'buy it now' glory. I took probably nanoseconds to make it mine. This is rare to impossible to find in the UK and judging by K1 (the king of reviewers) take on it this was a keeper.
Firstly,the bottle is so much better in real life than in the photos. Secondly,the scent is fantastic. Its like the original went on holiday,had a few cocktails and danced the night away to a samba band.

I blame Givenchy for not spending marketing money on this masterpiece.

I mean it's not even featured on their own website.

If anyone wondering why NOT so many comments on this, is because...well...no one knows about it !

Everytime i wear this, compliments fly left and right on how smooth, sexy and creamy this fragrance smells .

In my opinion, this should have NOT been released as a flanker, because i feel that flankers never get the respect they deserve.

This fragrance should be released as a brand new product line, with an aggressive marketing campaign.

Yes, it's that good !

Again, i fault Givenchy for "hiding" this masterpiece .

When dries down this EDT smells like toffee..

This work of art starts with a blast of acidic bergamot and, sweet and bitter grapefruit.
Typical for a summer flanker, but DO NOT be fooled.
These genius generic top notes are mearly a sarcastic-al blanket to cover the intense intrest that lies beneath!

As far as the middle is concerned i don't get much in terms of fig leaf, perhaps it's that green amber-esque charred smell.
The palm leaf note adds a very vegetal snappy fleshy genuine plant aroma.

In the base we have a deep, murky salt water (aroma?...no) essence.
My nose SWEARS there is benzoin crystals in there giving it a sweet mysterious depth and strength.






I approve! (not your typical summer flanker.)

Smell: 9
Longevity: 10
Sillage: 9

This perfume is exactly Narciso Rodriguez for him with more gourmand and sweet tone and less musk.
Opens in a bold and radiant aquatic and fresh way and turns quickly to a deep sweet and lovely fruity style which stays on the style till the end. A toffee smell appears in middle but stays in undertone and makes it yummy. It's so perfect for tropical as it's named.
It's leafy and creamy. calm and fresh, better than original Neo. The base is extremely creamy and yummy.

My second review, or comment on this...

Of all the flankers out there, I wonder why this is not more available? Still, the only place I can find this is at Macy's and it is even pretty hard to find online.

I have had a brief and intense education in fragrances and will bow to anyone's advanced expertise, but to my nose this one is brilliant. Much better than most of the other Givenchy scents for men that I have smelled. Seriously, you should search this one out and test it for yourself.

The good news for me is that NOBODY wears this and when it goes on close out special, I will buy all I can afford.

I have never written a review here and I am far from being an expert in fragrances, but here goes.

I am not a man who generally wears a fragrance, but I am dating someone who loves them so I have been trying to find a couple that I really like. I wanted one that would be lighter and summery and a second one a bit spicier.

I went to Macy's and sprayed a number of different products on cards. I guess I don't care for many of the aqua scents and I wanted something a bit fruitier and clean. I liked this one enough that I came back the next day and sprayed some on my wrist. It haunted me for a week so I went back again and tried it again and then shopped for a couple of hours.

That was it. I had to buy this one and it will be my signature summer scent. Fruity and a bit floral to my nose and maybe just a bit of wood somewhere in there. Not overpowering, just a nice summer scent for me and it lasted all day at work too. A vigorous and alive scent.

Update: The more I wear this the more I like it. Lasts about 5-6 hours which I think is pretty good for a summer scent. Wonder why more people don't comment on this one. Truly a gem. A bit floral/fruity, nice and clean for the summer.

I agree with Detroitcologner. I will be buying more of this so I don't run out. Brilliant for me.

Reporting this from Macys via a mobile phone; the sales person is not very happy with me right now, so I have to quickly leave the department before she tears my head off. LOL As far as the scent goes, I only spent only a few minutes with this; sigh! It is just like the original Pi Neo but add some subtle leafy green, warm and fresh fig with something smells like coconut to me but very subtle. It's still fresh and sweet scent and now with a touch of creaminess.

i want it how do i get it i cant find it anywhere

So a couple of you said that I was not specific enough on this one in a few private messages. I went to the mall again to try it on my skin and I am even more in love with it. I bear the burden of being the lone ranger reviewer so far and I hope that the masses don’t disagree. Nonetheless, here goes

This cologne is a gentle giant of a fragrance. The initial spray is robust and full of a mellow, sweet distinctly pure fruity cleanness. When I say citrus, I mean fresh citrus. Not as in soapy or sharp but as in recently done and not synthetic in nature! It is so vibrant but not overpowering. Surprisingly though, it is so relevantly PRESENT and distinguished in elements around you to be the opposite of inauspicious. I don’t see this as being a silage monster but I am assuming that it will encourage people to break the 5 foot rule and step into your space without invite. Its complex enough to stand out but not just for the sake of being cumbersome and I think that it could easily be unisex.

After retrying this, I am even more in love with it. I think it was well thought out and charming. If this one is going away any time soon I will be buying in bulk.

As for the question of it following any of its Givenchy predecessors, I don’t see it. I have passionately disliked the previous Givenchy’s including Play and Pie. This one could almost be counted as a departure for Givenchy but in the best direction possible.

I hope that everyone goes out there and tries this one soon as I am eager to see if I missed the mark here.I went to Macys to try it. Go go go and test it.

For whatever reason, ALL Givenchy colognes smell like fragranced lotion to me. This cologne though is MARVELOUS!!! Honestly, I don’t know if I could pull it off it smells so good. They did a great job with this cologne! I am so NOT Givenchy fan but this one redeemed them in my eyes. I was shocked at the dry down of this one. Really quite fantastic. Its delicious. Underneath it though it smells a little bit like Issey Miyake for women but this is not an androgynous fragrance. Its masculine! I think that I will buy it one day.
