Gentlemen Only by Givenchy, 2013
Reviewed by rbaker

An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.

If the fragrance is as good as the shoes we'll be disappointed. Shoe snobs for the most part don't like J&M that well... so us fragrance snobs'll be in the same boat.

Backordered until Early December

Not going to be the SOTD for Thanksgiving....

And, I agree that J&M are not the greatest shoes out there. From the USA, I would rather have some Allen Edmunds.

Amazing that a fragance from a shoe company isn't a leather based fragrance.

Allen-Edmonds also had a fragrance... I sniffed it once at their store next to their manufacturing facility in Wisconsin, and it was a citrus/fresh fragrance that was actually really nice. Not sure if it's still made, though (I didn't see it on their website).
