Fragrance Reviews by RubenC

This has a uniquely sweet floral leather scent, if that makes any sense, that remains on me throughout the day. I wish it had more smoke and spice but I guess my Ph reacts differently. I don't hate it, but I'm not really sold on it either.
This definitely has strong longevity, a plus for anyone wanting to get there money's worth. A distinctive scent to be sure.

This scent was too sweet for me, borders on a feminine appeal. The silage is long lasting though.

This was a favorite of mine back in the early 90's and at one point I thought it was out of production, so it was pleasing to know EuroItalia is still producing this gem.
The warm citrus topnotes are quickly enveloped by warm spices, settling in with the woods, vetiver and musk to give a very pleasant alluring base scent. The longevity is decent, about 4-6 hours, excellent for evening and winter wear.

This fragrance is very pleasant to wear, not overpowering and very suitable for daily wear. The cinnamon and cedar top and mid notes rest smoothly over the vanilla base, giving a nice dry down with decent longevity.

I get a strong vetiver scent on first application, and although I love certain vetivers this can be surprising if your not prepared for it. The dry down is much more pleasing for me although the patchouli tends to be stronger at first. Much preferred for evening wear, but can be used during winter months as well.

I find Givenchy Gentleman to be complex and distinctively unique. This fragrance takes some getting used to but definitely rewarding.

My first sniff says to me, "floral" hmmm, maybe not. I let it sit for a few and the woods and vanilla appear more so. This may be more suited for an older generation or until the vanilla - floral craze returns.

This one is very peppery to me, and after a few hours I'm unsure whether I like the dry down or not. It is strong and the silage is good, for a vetiver this may be my least favorite.

I tried to like this, I really did, but alas this is not for me, too much towards the floral notes. The powdery after notes are feminine for my tastes, possibly when I'm in my senior years I may ave a change of heart.

This was one of my first fragrances back in the 70's and still is a reliable favorite, and classic. This fragrance has stood the test of time, for myself and I'm sure for many throughout. Inexpensive - Yes!, but price does not necessarily denote quality.

This was a coming of age experience back in the mid 70's for me. And has stood the test of time, a classic in it's own regard, made for many a weekend night.

From the first time I tested this scent, it was a very pleasant aroma and not so overbearing. The sandalwood is distinctly unique, I don't seem to catch the Eucalyptus in the top notes, and that is possibly just me. For me the longevity tapers off in strength and still is present after more than 10 hours.

I can detect the citrus, but the basil and lavender are undetectable to me. Still has a pleasant scent, not very strong, the staying power is decent about 4-6 hours for me. The middle notes and base notes are unnoticeable, my sample was from a tester at Nordstrom, and the bottle appears different from the images I've seen.
