   |  This scent is currently under review16 June 2009 |
  |  A very nice and classic chypre -- stylistically, very much in keeping with Chanel Pour Monsieur. As you'd expect with old-school frags that aren't stuffed to the gills with modern, synthetic molecules, longevity and sillage are both poor by modern standards. There's a tiny touch of civet that blooms fairly early and remains discreet.23 March 2009 |
 | Nice initial cirtrus burst. Nice sandalwood drywood. Overall- nice. But in today's world where there are hundreds of frags waiting for your attention, being nice just doesn't cut it anymore. This one bores me to tears. Give me Insense anytime. 21 January 2009 |
  |  Distinctive and classic. Have had MdG in my wardrobe intermitantly since I was in my early 20's and still go back for a "smash" every so often! Love the way the lavender tones the citrus and, along with the oakmoss, holds the formula together in such wonderful balance. Since I don't wear it that often, I haven't developed olfactory fatigue to this marvel and it lasts quite a while on my skin. Put it on as my SOTD about 9:00 am and it is still going strong now at about 3:00pm. Really like this one!17 December 2008 |
  | Carlos-uk is absolutely right in saying that MdeG is closer to Armani pur Homme than to Eau Sauvage. Beautiful interplay of citrus and woods. Sillage is not very pronounced but longevity is good, especially in moist sweaty climes. 09 December 2008 |
 | Sometimes, when we are at our most extreme point of preciosity and enervation, only Monsieur de Givenchy can satisfy us. At such times, all other scents strike us as too strong, too sharp, too sweet or too bitter. It is then that Monsieur will soothe us with his exquisite refinement and restraint - and all the more so if we take care to close the windows so that the fumes of the infamous Marbert Man, the brash vapours of Calvin Klein Eternity, and the richly thunderous reek of Joop cannot waft up to offend us from the busy streets below. (Marcel). 26 November 2008 |
