Givenchy 2019 EDC
Gentleman Cologne
by Nathalie Lorson , Olivier Cresp
Givenchy Gentleman Cologne is a Cologne launched in 2019, created by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp. Gentleman Cologne opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Iris, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambroxan. Givenchy's Gentleman Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.
A truly gorgeous, refined freshie whose opening scent is universally adored, but its shocking lack of staying power has made it a frustrating, though still highly praised, cult classic. The ultimate "love the scent, hate the longevity" fragrance. Seek it out as it's sadly discontinued.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh accords and generally poor longevity make it perfectly suited for office wear, where a subtle, non-offensive scent is preferred. It's also great for casual summer wear and sport for a refreshing pick-me-up, but lacks the projection or lasting power for a formal or date night. Many reviews highlight its 'office safe' nature and warm-weather suitability.
