What wearers say
“Edit: Last night I realized I had a free sample of Gentleman Boisee I never used since I had purchased the bottle and I gave it a test. The difference is in the opening! They dry down the same. I checked the batch code and found the sample was from 2023. The batch code on my bottle was 2024. The opening on my bottle is so tame and meh. The opening from the sample just punches through and starts your day right.”
“Stunning iris fragrance, probably the best of that 'genre'. But the crappy performance and longevity are criminal given the high price. Givenchy is guilty of this repeatedly - beautiful fragrance one can't buy because it's too much money for juice that disappears in a couple of hours. Would be the perfect office fragrance if the longevity were improved.”
“Smells great imo. Slight oriental vibe that I enjoy. Performance is not great. Poor longevity, sillage, and projection. I get better performance out of DG the one edp. This is an evening fragrance in all weather except extreme heat. My girlfriend thought it smelled too much like baby powder. Want to love this, but it is only a like unless it gets better with use.”
