A closer look at Givenchy Gentleman EDT
Gentleman EDT is made by Givenchy. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Is Gentleman long lasting?
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Dior Homme 2005 and Mont Blanc Individuel last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like leather and black vanilla husk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings

Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €84. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Dior Homme 2005 and Maison Alhambra Glacier Le Noir but less than Prada L'Homme.
