Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Givenchy Play Intense EDP
Givenchy Play Intense is a cult classic that vanished too soon, leaving a trail of devoted fans and a fierce aftermarket for this coffee and tonka masterpiece. It's truly a love-it-or-mourn-it scent.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Extreme Entertainment For Men EDP
Extreme Entertainment chases Givenchy Play Intense's beloved coffee-and-tonka gourmand. It nails the sweet cappuccino signature for a budget price, though it turns sweeter and flatter over time, missing some of the original's smoky woody backbone.
