Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jean Jacques. Gentlemen Only Absolute opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Givenchy's Gentlemen Only Absolute carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a creamy, spicy-sweet winter warmer that's absolutely adored by its fans. While some call it a 'less refined' Spicebomb, many crown it superior - a shame it's so hard to find.

About

Opens with a bright citrus kick from bergamot, quickly followed by a plush, warm onslaught of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a leathery saffron. The heart unfolds into a smooth, creamy vanilla and sandalwood embrace, creating a sophisticated and inviting aroma. It's elegantly sweet, never cloying, with a refined oriental backbone perfect for cooler climes.
