   |  Exciting? Exhilarating? These are certainly not terms that come to mind when one thinks of Monsieur de Givenchy. This is way too herbal for me. Go with Eau Sauvage or a traditional eau de cologne.10 November 2009 |
  | Typical olden-style chypre. Having tested more than a handful of similar-type fragrances, this one doesn't possess anything worth raving about. A good scent with more notable peers. 21 September 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 |
 | This isn't a rough citrus nor is it a fresh citrus like in Eau de Paco and the like. This is a full citrus that lasts and is very classy and smoother. If you are looking for a rougher citrus masculine go for Eau Sauvage but if you want a debonair citrus Monsieur de Givenchy is perfect. I prefer Eau Sauvage. 15 September 2008 |
  | Like it but very short life on me..can anyone find me a long lasting citrus scent ( same applies to eau d'orange verte and eau d' hadrian too) 22 May 2008 |

| This is a beautifully conventional high end fragrance circa 1960. The term lavendar water works with this. It is light and watery, and makes me think of old Rock Hudson-Doris Day movies, in which the NYC business men wore medium grey suits, skinny ties and drank martinis after work. Since that seems to be the style again, I would think Monsieur de Givenchy would be a nearly perfect fragrance for right now. So, put this one on, stop over to the King Cole Bar, and ask Rock to shove over when you stop in for a cocktail. You will offend no one with this one, and I am sure not a few will like your style. 29 April 2007 |
 | Too classy and overpowering for me.Thus, it hates my chemistry.It is best for persons 45+ of age. 13 October 2006 |
