Givenchy pour Homme
by Givenchy
Givenchy Pour Homme is a clean, refined woody fragrance with a crisp citrus and aromatic opening. It features notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, coriander, and violet, leading into a heart of lavender and vetiver, with a dry, elegant finish dominated by cedar and labdanum. The scent is delicate and discreet, with a light, powdery sweetness that avoids being overly sweet or synthetic. It projects moderately and has a moderate longevity, typically lasting 4 to 6 hours on most skin types, with a skin-scent character that makes it ideal for close encounters and professional settings. It's highly versatile—suitable for day or night, spring or summer—and resonates well in office environments where subtlety is key. The olfactory journey is subtle yet compelling, transforming from fresh citrus and herbal notes into a warm, woody trail that feels mature and restrained. While some find it aloof or underperforming, others describe it as a timeless, elegant signature scent—quietly confident and character-driven rather than loud or flashy.
