Which Should You Buy?
Givenchy Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is a fresh, spicy, and woody crowd-pleaser that's sadly discontinued. While some find it unique and classy, others are put off by a divisive 'pickle' note or find it too generic. It's a 'your mileage may vary' situation, but generally a safe bet for a clean, office-friendly scent.
This one's a proper grower, not a shower. Initial sprays can be a bit 'what's going on here?', but give it time and it settles into a surprisingly unique, clean, and modern fresh aromatic. Don't expect a vetiver bomb, though; it's subtle, supporting a prominent musky geranium that some will adore and others simply won't get. It's a divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.
