Gentleman by Givenchy Cologne for Men Created in 1974, this woody aromatic opens with a top note of tarragon, cinnamon, and bergamot, giving its vibrant originality. The mid notes of patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, rose, and carnation convey its "well-bred" appeal, making it easily identifiable. The base of civet and russian leather give it the coziness of a seductive fragrance.
