- the bottle reminds me of Antidote by Viktor&Rolf, this is a scary and mature fragrance, a true powerhouse.check out my brother FlexYoFace Chase Channel's review...he is the reason why i got this :)
• Givenchy Gentleman (19...
To my nose this is the grand father of hugo boss number 1. I think it was so influential it inspired antaeus and kouros but this with the honey feels like the honey from the vintage paco rabanne pour homme with the raised R on the bottle and the hugo boss number 1 feel without the tobacco from number 1. It is a stunner of a fragrence. I feel like an absolute star wearing this. This is a fragrence for a world before men were treated as second class citizens. I saw an old advertisement that started out by saying its a mans world... never would you hear such an "offensive" statement today from the focus groups dont want to offend anyone ad firms today. Well this is a fragrence for a man who is the alpha of his world whether its just the head of a family or head of a company or ruler of a nation. This was how a man should smell back when they made perfumes for Men. Someone who takes responsibility and doesnt shy away from his actions. Someone mature. A gentleman. If you can get the vintage bottle with the silver cap do it. I have a 60 ml bottle and i will treasure it for the rest of my days. This is a class in the art of perfumery. If you like to study fragrences and like the honey note like i do. If you like azzaro pour homme or paco rabanne pour homme or hugo boss number 1 this is required sniffing. Top 5 vintage masculines no doubt. Maybe top 3 if you twisted my arm.

Bravo Ramsey !
New to fragrances and to this point, Givenchy Gentleman 1974 is EASILY my favourite. Nothing comes close. I feel the same way about this channel. You know what you're talking about and you inspire trust. My favourite fragrance channel by quite a margin.
This is a great mature gentleman's fragrance - not scary at all - love it!
Very good review of a classic masterpiece. A bit hard to wear now but who cares it is great!
thanks a lot brother....your comments always make my day...hope to meet you someday in real life and learn about fragrances.really horrible times in the UK now a days...lot of these attacks...breaks my heart....i hope this madness stops :(
I love it very much a real man fragrance Gentelman & Kouros powerrrrrrr
Smells nothing like Kouros. The Givenchy Gentlemen 1974 is much, much more palatable and wearable. Great performance. Can be office, night out, elegant and is mixed with something dark and dirty. As Joy Amin said, very complex in a sense. Its definitely from the time it came from but also timeless. Kouros just smells like a bathroom from 1983.
The best review I've watched on RUclips. You talk really on a plain. I loved the tip on never wearing on summer. I live in Brazil and I will have to watch for that. Thanks brow.
This is my go to EDT...mossy, earthy, woody, spicy. complex and sophisticated. If I have a big meeting or a job interview this or Creed Aventis gets a jersey. I can wear this year year round BUT! I throttle back the application in summer. one spray only and respecting distance so there is no concentration on the skin. One distant spray on the chest and you'll love this as a summer scent. In winter I shoot twice ..on each side of the neck.
Not scary at all. This has an old school baseline that really works for me. I get tired of the modern simple, sweet, quick disappearing fragrances.
Me too
Another great review.
I like how you let your imagination run with it, to build a picture of the fragrance.
Good one...this is definitely a keeper; very classy sophisticated manly juice!
i feel for a little mature noses ....its a classic for sure.i like the reformulated juice..i wonder how amazing the original is :)
Gentleman is like Kouros' father :) I actually received a vintage bottle on Tuesday, and I also tested the currently available bottle in a shop. Only got 5hrs from the current - vintage was much, muuuch smoother was a ballsier opening (strong civet with the honey) and lasted longer too. Funny timing on this review :) great take bro
I ' m agree , the vintage version is better !!
I wasn't sure what would be the better for winter, Lalique pour homme or Gentelmen.You convinced me:)Great review.Thanks a lot.
I alternate between liking and loving this one. I find it to be pretty similar to Chanel Pour Monsieur EDP...not identical, but in the same genre. These are more mature scents that I love when I am in an old-school mood. However, although dated, they do have an old-school vibe to them so I merely like them when I am not in a mood to wear and old-school gentleman's scent.
Excellent review...much appreciated.
thanks a lot brother.i also often reach for it when its kinda cold and i am tired of wearing same old same old...i love this in my collection...ill rock more of it in upcoming winters :) pour monsieur ill have to try again...when i tried it last year i liked the edt over the edp , ill revisit them both :)
Fragrances like this and certain notes evoke memories and sometimes people aren't in the mood to bring back those memories, I believe.
A classic fragance.Very masculin and mature scent.Great review bro 😉
I’ve got a 100 ml bottle with the black collar and silver cap . The bottom of the box says 77 , 1% Vol . It’s definitely old school .
Just a tip, used to wear the original PI and get the most monster compliments than any other modern product.Make a decant of the new (weak) Pi...80% and 20% of this old stuff.......It is Killer!
pi i wanted to add...but hard to find within my location :(
Sounds like a ballsy combo.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this fragrance? My all time favourite.
I'm with RamseytheRam in thinking of Hugo Boss, Number One (which is now a Coty product) and YSL Kouros but also Varon Dandy. I bought all of these at my local CVS drug store.
I was looking for the Gentleman (2017) review but still watched this because I'm curious what the classic might be like. Maybe I will sample it one day, because it's hard to get and hard to wear. But I got another 4 Givenchy fragrances in the last weeks and I'm really happy with most of them, I only wore my signature PH (since 2003) and had some V.I. Fresh Attitude but I want to try more, Insense Ultramarine didn't impress me much but the newer, modern Gentleman seems pretty and easy to like/wear. May become my new everyday scent. Respect for your passion and enthusiasm to a true historic fragrance from an underrated house!
I like your simplistic way of reviewing, continue the great work.
my favorite Givenchy scent that lasts longer
best reviewer ever! i w8ed ur video all day!
I truly find it a sad commentary on the current state of affairs regarding fragrance when such masterpieces in perfumery as Givenchy Gentleman, and countless others (no discrimination here!) are referred to as "old man" and not "modern"... Actually, I find the term "modern fragrance" quite apropos when referring to the complete and utter dumbing-down of the fragrance consumer. The rise and subsequent thriving existence of the niche industry owes its very soul to the fact that design houses (not the artisans) have committed harrie karrie, either intentionally or not, in the board room's pursuit of profit margins! Please don't get me wrong, the Maisons have launched some extremely innovative, delightful ,and very creative perfumes over the last couple of decades, albeit sporadically at best (looking at you BDC) which have completely reflected, quite beautifully, the concept that was their genesis. IDK, maybe if and when the spell is broken the world of designer fragrances will once again be occupied by "not modern", "dated" fragrances that seduce and court our olfactory palettes instead of gratuitously picking our pockets!
Fragrances anymore are hard to distinguish one from the other.
Givenchy Gentleman is unique, and it *IS* so because it's not like what's OUT there today...sweet, citrus, bubble-gummy, fabric softener, light, etc...But hey, it it was great THEN (which it was...found it in the late 70s or early 80s), it's great NOW! Don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd, because again...this is *VERY* unique from what's available in today's market. A true classic.
I actually like this juice though it is a winter scent and you don't need much as it's a beast.
yes agreed :)
I’m 29 and this is one of my all-time favorite fragrances. I feel though as if the newest formulation lacks the longevity as the previous formulations :/
Yes, I agree.
@Joy Amin, How are you sir? Would you bless up with a review of Givenchy Gentleman 2017 please sir??? I curious to findout your take/opinion on this fragrance -Thanks again!
I TOTALLY! agree with Kouros comparison K Is a little more honey and amber ..a tame sweetness EXACTLY what a real XY should wear..I disagree on the season .. for me this is year round AM or PM ..It is that classy .. the new version is not the powerhouse of the 80s but is good enough for 4 hours or so
One of my absolute favorites.
Thanks brother I just bought it and I love it.
This is a fragrance that for sure is first cousins of Kouros, second cousin of Lapidus, third cousin of egoists channel, but funny enough it is s older than all of them and only works in winter ❄️ and especially when dressed up , 4 sprays for elegant settings and cold weather is a must
I remember Egoïste a real classic
I love this juice and kouros! Great review my friend Joy awesome as always! 😊
which one do you prefer?
Smelled in UK.. great for first hour..after that wanted to rub it off.. chaotic ... but damn unabashed manliness
exactly...its very hard to wear on the drydown , i liked it coz i like tough ones...no complements is right sir ;)
Hi my fragrance today more than 10h still smell in my skin. Classic perfume
Thanks for this, it's one of my favourites, plz review armaf just for you pour homme it's quite similar.
I love this frag beautiful frag.
He description had me laughing at work, such as good review
Hey there Mr. Amin, i am 20 years old and i bought this fragrance, i really loved it, here in Mexico it costed around 50 USD. I have to say the opening with the civet is quite challenging to use in my age but i love the leather drydown
Sir, do you know of an other patchouli gentelman fragrances of this caliber?
i prefer the vintage version . The fragrance is not the same for me it was more intense before than now ! I don't like the new bottle !
Masterpiece. I wish I could get the previous formula vintage bottle. You are cute, great review. 🍀 Cannabis is not drug its a 🌱. The latest addition is very weak altho still beautiful but I have to reapply it after four hours.
Try ebay, but its costy.
I thought this one was supposed to be a patchouli bomb....
Could you compare it with Giorgio Beverly Hills Pour Homme?
I think it’s a patchouli bomb too, but you feel it in the dry down. Intensely.
honey and cinnamon.
Is this like Stetson? I like stetson i just wish it wasn't so powdery.
Is it still available?
Merhaba hocam sizce siyah mı metal kapak mı eski batch? Teşekkürler.
I'm confused to choose between this fragrance or Givenchy pi? can give me a suggestion, and is it okay to blind buy?
Very patchouli heavy.
Please review Pakistani barnd j. fragrance
I love this fragrance but my bottle is very nearly empty! :-(
Save it for special occasions!
Does it smell somehow similar to van cleef pour homme?
I sprayed it in the toilet. It scared me too. 😂
Thank you
Is is it available to purchase?
Brother please do a top 10 cheap list
I feel it's exactly like One Man Show edt
Today's quality of Givenchy fragrances is absolute shit, but prices are still on the same line with YSL, Guerlain and Dior.
i kinda felt also not much attracted to givenchy line to buy more bottles...may be the Pi will be nice perhaps?
Sergey Gomenyuk I completely agree with you. by the way, don't miss Ivanhoe, a cheap but good fragrance. it has been evaluated by this guy latey.
Zhi-vo(n)-shee
At 6:55 you compare it with aramis pour Homme?
Azzaro Pour Homme
This one is just like Aramis (the classic vintage one)
Marijuana is NOT drugs. It is a plant. It is the most effective analgesic plant on planet earth. Do not call that wise plant used for milliana as a drug. This frag does not smell like marijuana at all and i cannot think any person that smokes marijuana would think so. And, since you have brought it up, I am going to ask a dozen friends their opinion. Great idea! Thank you, Joy! It is an older man's scent. It is very strong. I prefer Korous.
i prefer kouros too...every time it blows my mind :)
No one said it smelt like weed, dank bud, or any other type of weed sold in stores everywhere in Southern California. Maybe the original juice does, I have the formulation you have. It is wonderful!
No marijuana note on this one at all
Isn't Kouros an older man scent?
Wear it like a man
Dude I don't like this perfume. It smells like my grandpa. Lol I will trade it for any other givenchy cologne .
