A confident woody floral that sets aromatic lavender and a crackle of black pepper against plush iris, then eases into a textured resin glow before resting on patchouli and black vanilla. The contrast feels polished and modern, equal parts suave and warm, with a memorable trail that moves easily from daytime smart to evening dressed.

Story and Positioning
Givenchy frames the modern gentleman as charismatic and free-spirited, and this eau de parfum captures that idea with a bold iris core warmed by vanilla woods and balsams. It reads refined yet inviting for dates, black tie moments, and cool weather wear. If you enjoy plush iris and vanilla styles such as Dior Homme Intense or Valentino Uomo Intense, this strikes a similarly elegant mood while keeping its own spicy resin signature.
Bottle and Design
A thick glass flacon with rounded edges displays a deep amber tone. Around the middle runs a lacquer black band carrying Gentleman Givenchy in neat white lettering. A compact black cap rests on a dark metal collar and seats firmly. The weighty base, calm curves, and tidy labeling give the For Him bottle a composed and urbane look.
