Gentlemen Only Intense

by Jean Jacques

Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Jean Jacques. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Lemon, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Leather, Patchouli, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Amber, and Incense.

Our verdict on Gentlemen Only Intense: Statement

Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense is a polarising scent - some laud its smooth, dark masculinity, others dismiss it as ordinary with disappointing performance. Often compared to designer peers, its appeal largely hinges on whether you get past the initial blast and experience its full drydown.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its smoky, sensual character and often-criticised moderate projection make it less suitable for the office or casual daywear. However, the rich amber-leather profile and 'date night' appeal, as mentioned by reviewers, boost its fit for formal events or romantic evenings.

About

Opens with a sharp, peppery kick, infused with bright citrus and a hint of birch. This quickly deepens into a smooth, leathery heart, rich with earthy patchouli and violet leaf, underpinned by warm cedar. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of smoky incense and amber, softened by creamy tonka bean and vanilla, creating a sensual, dark aura.
