I got into collecting last year and i have to say that your videos have been a tremendous help in finding great fragrances that suit my taste and I really appreciate how you're always trying to improve the editing of your videos. Keep it up Ash, you da man.
Can't wait to try this one. I just sampled Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir Parfum today, and it immediately ended up on my wishlist. I have a feeling you're gonna like it too!
I have just tried this, it's very addictive, I agree about it not having a whisk(e)y note persay, but I think rather than having a whisk(e)y note, I think this has the notes of a decent aged Bourbon itself, if you've ever smelt your glass after finishing a straight bourbon like a Maker's Mark for exsample, you'll see what I mean (Pro tip for whisk(e)y tasting btw, this way you can pick out the notes without the acolhol blast)
Ive been collecting for over a decade. I have a respected collection... this cologne is EXTREMELY underrated. One of the BEST for cold weather, even as an overall scent. Extremely classic with a modernized compliment. P.S. The dry-down is heavenly, on another level, comparable only to Green Irish Tweed and Tom Ford's.
I just got it and the collar comes off with the cap. If I get it on right it will click in place but it keeps popping off. I was wondering if that's something common with this?
I received my 100ml bottle today. Bought it purely on the the review here by Ash. Love it! its amazing...cant stop smelling it. Thought it might be too much like One Million Prive which I'm not a fan of. No way....soooo much nicer.
I drove in the pouring rain to the retailer knowing they had 1 bottle left in the store grabbed it and its to me Niche material, the Guvenchy line im really liking the Iris note how its been done, a bit different to Dior Homme Intense but totally happy paid $180 AUD which unfortunately we dont have discounters like the US plus this stuff will never go to discounters, perfect time now as its coming into Winter in Australia so Ive got a stack of Autumn/Winter designers that im really wanting to pull the trigger, you could wear this in Spring but definitely not summer. But total class, also the Boise is great aswell, but this one to me is the best in their line.
Bergamot on the top note Nutty and woody mids Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver in the base. Reads pretty similar to One million lucky. I think the Givenchy could be a slightly more mature gourmand. Excited to try this 😍
Mate one million lucky is toilet water compared to this , they dont even compare. This is a mans cologne 1 million lucky is a boys comogne that lasts for about an hour this line Givenchy Gentleman has taught me about Iris , so you could even layer it up with Dior Homme Intense has the iris not but a bit more lipsticky this new Givenchy doesn't compare to any other designer brand it stands alone.
I purchased the edp and the iris to me was too full on, then i got the Boisee and yeah baby , i used heaps already i love it and last night in Australia it was late night shopping and i was looking thru a retail chains colognes and finally they had it, it was pouring rain so I went to the Department Store and they had 1 bottle left, so I just said put it in a bag, ive put it on thismorning and its brilliant, the iris ive learnt is how their line works and ive got used to it , so its now Autumn/fall and then winter in Aust so it will be getting used alot. Great fragrance you cant go wrong if you have the edp or any in the line you are not going to be dissapointed and im only new to the Givenchy Gentleman line, so for me the boisee and this one are complete legends
I got a decant of this about a year ago. It was wonderful and lasted all day. I finally got a full bottle from Macys and it’s very weak. Lasts about an hour. I can directly compare it to the decant and there is a huge difference. I hate when these companies do that. I would not recommend the current formulation.
This is my favourite in the line. Love it!! Even though I have put my fall winter scents in the back row now that we in the northern hemisphere are in spring, I wore this today as my SOTD. :)
I love this and hoped the whiskey would be stronger or last longer so for me still valentino uomo intense still my fav as least strong in iris and more soft leather smell
It's called reserve privée, I think, because that means private reserve, which is usually about whiskey. A lot of companies have private reserve whiskeys. So yeah.
Got my bottle yesterday and I love it! The whisky note for me is very strong in the opening and I don’t get the chestnut until a few hours after spraying. Definitely getting a second bottle!
After giving it a couple of wearings , I found out that it is just a smoother and less harsh version of the edp . No prominent notes of whiskey or chestnuts of what so ever . With all that in mind , it is still a descent release.
Just got my 60ml bottle yesterday. Tried twice with 4 spray on my neck. Sadly, the smell doesn't come to my expectation compared to my Givenchy Gentlemen EDP which had more strength dan bold of iris plus better longevity and performance. A let down.
I had the same experience. Smelt nice enough for 15 minutes then the scent just disappeared (genuine article bought from Givenchy website). Do not blind buy.
How the Bills and Bengals led the way in the hour after Hamlin collapsed endous help in finding great fragrances that suit my taste and I really appreciate how you're always trying to improve the editing of your videos. Keep it up Ash, you da man.
I love the gentlemen edp but this one is a stair up, it is a less "lipsticky" les sharp (the edp has pepper that pushes) thus thus a a softer smoother and more "gentlemeny" version than the gentleman edp. The buzzy is not like in ch prive but more like mixing the scent private accord and gentlemen edp. The projection is closer than the edp though. But it lasts slightly as much as the edp but the edp lasts longer on me
I haven't tested nor bought this new one but if it's anything like Gentlemen, the 60ml bottle will be sufficient as it's a powerhouse. *Tested it. It is an excellent fragrance.
You know it’s not going to for a while and when it does it’s going to be like 98$ plus shipping… and it’ll probably be second or third batch; I was going to do that too but they just got 100ml in yesterday so I pulled the trigger. I’ll use my 60 ml as my traveler
Only givincy i ever bought was xeryus what a stunner sadly discontinued was thinking about getting gentleman givincy edt or edp. My partner was in a store asked her to have smell of both and she hated both but think i will have to order one from there range and she what i think lol. But not been disappointed by all the aftershaves i have bought through reviews so can see how Givenchy gentleman can be so bad giving all the great reviews its had in its line.
Personally i got the edp and took it back it was just a massivd Iris bomb, but I have got the Boisee and now this one and the same DNA is there the way they use iris is their trademark but this one is the bomb its near Niche quality and its not in everyones collection so you will get noticed if thats what your after
Hey Ash. I'm bent between getting this one and Ferragamo spicy leather. Which of the two would you say packs a heavier punch in terms of projection and longevity? Dig the channel btw🙌🙌🙌
Great video Ash! I also love this line, so it’s only a given that I will buy this. The EDP is my favorite, but I love all of them! 🤟Oh…and make yourself a hot toddy, with whisky and honey in it. Get a nice buzz on, and you should wake up feeling better. Or, maybe not able to feel worse…👍
@@moe_8894 I like it better, but that’s because the EDP has a more pronounced Iris note. It’s more floral and powdery in that aspect. Boisee has a much more nuanced iris note and is more woody (hence the name). Boisee is also great, I just like the EDP more because I love iris notes in fragrances.
Sweet, this could be what i’ve missed in all of the others in the line. Really enjoyed the Cologne, EDP and Boisée but all of them have had terrible performance on me. Looking forward to check this one out.
I got into collecting last year and i have to say that your videos have been a tremendous help in finding great fragrances that suit my taste and I really appreciate how you're always trying to improve the editing of your videos. Keep it up Ash, you da man.
Glad to help
I fully agree with that
@@GentsScents waiting Acqua di Gio EDP
Ditto
💯
The Givenchy Gentleman line is just awesome
I agree, I absolutely love this one. I've got a few others of this style but this is the best.
Can't wait to try this one. I just sampled Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir Parfum today, and it immediately ended up on my wishlist. I have a feeling you're gonna like it too!
I'm trying to find a bottle. Got a sample & it was a YES at 1st sniff.
Ash you are the best reviewer in the fragrance community. Thanks for all your hard work🥇🏆👌🏻
This will be my signature scent for upcoming winter months
I have just tried this, it's very addictive, I agree about it not having a whisk(e)y note persay, but I think rather than having a whisk(e)y note, I think this has the notes of a decent aged Bourbon itself, if you've ever smelt your glass after finishing a straight bourbon like a Maker's Mark for exsample, you'll see what I mean (Pro tip for whisk(e)y tasting btw, this way you can pick out the notes without the acolhol blast)
Just picked it up. The dry down was talking to me. Excited for fall / winter to rock it more
What about the projection% longevity?

Last cologne I bought was Mont Blanc Explorer about 2 years ago. Guess I'll be picking this up.
Love it. Very underated and not many wear it so it's a unique to everyone
I tried this one yesterday on my wrist, 24 hours later and i can still smell it vaguely ⭐️⭐️
So far, Givenchy Gentleman line has not failed me yet. This will be the next fragrance I buy. If it gets enough hype, maybe it'll get discontinued. 😂
Bergamot on the top note
Nutty and woody mids
Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver in the base.
Reads pretty similar to One million lucky. I think the Givenchy could be a slightly more mature gourmand. Excited to try this 😍
Patchouli? I'm out.
Mate one million lucky is toilet water compared to this , they dont even compare.

Just getting started in the frag head game! Love the channel Ash and by far the best fragrance content around 💪
Unique description, I'm definitely buying this one 🇹🇹👍🔥 Every iris frag we love, in one bottle.
Got a bottle yesterday, and it's great
Amazing review. I love that fragrance!!!

after 4 months, is the performance the same or has it gotten better?
Ordered it yesterday together with Narciso Rodriguez bleu noir for him le parfum, can’t wait till the parcel employee will deliver it.
Hows the Narciso?
This is my favourite in the line. Love it!!
Even though I have put my fall winter scents in the back row now that we in the northern hemisphere are in spring, I wore this today as my SOTD. :)

Update: Got a 100 ml backup bottle lol
@@realBaseball5 sillage?
Total opposite for me, I get chestnut upfront and whiskey for days (literally days) after
How is the performance? Projection and longevity ?
After giving it a couple of wearings , I found out that it is just a smoother and less harsh version of the edp . No prominent notes of whiskey or chestnuts of what so ever . With all that in mind , it is still a descent release.
Appreciate the insight!
This sounds like the ultimate Iris mix!
I'm happy you finally made a video on Reserve Privée, I absolutely love it
Sounds absolutely amazing definitely going on the list 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Just got my 60ml bottle yesterday. Tried twice with 4 spray on my neck. Sadly, the smell doesn't come to my expectation compared to my Givenchy Gentlemen EDP which had more strength dan bold of iris plus better longevity and performance. A let down.
It's because you sprayed like a lil girly girl, spray like a BIG MAN 🤣🤣
I had the same experience. Smelt nice enough for 15 minutes then the scent just disappeared (genuine article bought from Givenchy website). Do not blind buy.
I just picked this up today. I have to wait to Xmas to use it but I fell in love at first sniff.
How's the longevity?

mine is coming in today
update: just received mine and loving the scent im catching every now and then as it dries down.

The edp is not lipsticky at all it's one of my favs
Your logo is amazing!!
Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and can you do a full review when you test it out and I glad you feel better and have a blessed day
I haven't tested nor bought this new one but if it's anything like Gentlemen, the 60ml bottle will be sufficient as it's a powerhouse.
*Tested it. It is an excellent fragrance.
Using this for a week now and it's awesome.
Been WAITING for this video, nice review. I don't own the edp so this will definitly do.
I’m actually buying it today.
I tested it two days ago. 👍
Mine will be in on Friday. Can't wait for this one.
Another great video Ash! Where would you rank this one amongst the rest of the Gentlemen line?
I miss some little bit of darf leather in it. That would make the scent complete for me. But still its awesome
Nice, this was one of the releases I was looking forward to, thanks and get well!
I should probably revisit this designer house, I remember I loved Very Irresistible by Givenchy
I love this! Quickly became my favorite from Gentleman line. Already have 60ml bottle but when it hits discounters am getting 100ml backup.
You know it’s not going to for a while and when it does it’s going to be like 98$ plus shipping… and it’ll probably be second or third batch; I was going to do that too but they just got 100ml in yesterday so I pulled the trigger. I’ll use my 60 ml as my traveler
How is gentleman only?
It wont hit discounters not this one. This is their master piece.
@@dazzac74 already did but prices are still too high as it is new product (abt 90 bucks for 100ml), give it some time and they will settle down
Never actually tried anything from the line but got my eye on it because I know you recommend a lot
U gotta try the edp it's absolutely amazing. Masterpiece to me I'll forever buy it
Only givincy i ever bought was xeryus what a stunner sadly discontinued was thinking about getting gentleman givincy edt or edp. My partner was in a store asked her to have smell of both and she hated both but think i will have to order one from there range and she what i think lol. But not been disappointed by all the aftershaves i have bought through reviews so can see how Givenchy gentleman can be so bad giving all the great reviews its had in its line.
u can find on discounts
U can find it on giftexpress
Big question: would this be the best place to start with the Gentlemen line?
Absolutely, in my opinion
I can't wait to get my hands on this, just not at retail..
Same here
Mixed Gentleman Reserve Privee and Dior Farenheit by mistake and the dry down was amazing. Can you try it?
Got it yesterday, and like you.... I was like woa... I might like this more than Boisee!
It's now in my to -buy list...
Réservé privée VS edt intense ?
Reminds me too much of Dior Homme Intense, but with a more soapy dry down.
So which one you prefer?
Checking out the Givency line and I am liking it, a lot. Sampled a couple this week. Trying to make up my mind which one to get.
Personally i got the edp and took it back it was just a massivd Iris bomb, but I have got the Boisee and now this one and the same DNA is there the way they use iris is their trademark but this one is the bomb its near Niche quality and its not in everyones collection so you will get noticed if thats what your after
@@dazzac74 thanks. I bought the edt Intense and loving it. Will probably continue to buy a couple more from this same line
Hey Ash. I'm bent between getting this one and Ferragamo spicy leather. Which of the two would you say packs a heavier punch in terms of projection and longevity? Dig the channel btw🙌🙌🙌
Yes ASH, what is your ANSWER??????
Me too I’m confused on which one to get, which one did you pick?
the best perfume under $100. i will unsubscribe from all haters of this scent
Haven't seen anyone saying about longevity,it dose not last on my,maybe hour or two then gone 🤔
Could still smell it a day after on my clothes
Just smelled the fragrance today.
I thought the same : Gentleman EDP meets Valentino Uomo.
C'mon ash, you've got to revisit toy boy. I know your wife shut it down, but it is frickin awesome.
Toy boy is a banger 🔥☄️
I *NeEeEeD* a CH Men Prive *PARFUM* edition! Someone please make it happen 😅
This a man’s cologne. Top notch.
I'm so excited to smell the perfume.
What’s up, bud. Can you do a video about fragrances that you enjoy from artisan/indy brands?
Can’t wait for the official review. I’m wondering if this one would be redundant to own if you already own DHI
I have pre 2020 DHI too and you can buy the givenchy! they are not too similar and the givenchy is easier to wear
I just placed an order for this one myself. I can't wait for it to arrive!
Can you do a givenchy Top 10 including all there mens fragrance? Not just the gentleman line.
You got it, I’ll make a Givenchy overview of the non hard to find ones some time soon
Great video Ash! I also love this line, so it’s only a given that I will buy this. The EDP is my favorite, but I love all of them! 🤟Oh…and make yourself a hot toddy, with whisky and honey in it. Get a nice buzz on, and you should wake up feeling better. Or, maybe not able to feel worse…👍
Is the edp better than boise ?
@@moe_8894 I like it better, but that’s because the EDP has a more pronounced Iris note. It’s more floral and powdery in that aspect. Boisee has a much more nuanced iris note and is more woody (hence the name). Boisee is also great, I just like the EDP more because I love iris notes in fragrances.
Thank you for your opinion ❤️
I bought this today its intoxicating
I hope it's better than EDP. That one is foul. I love DHI so I'm hoping it leans more towards that than Gentlemen EDP
It is exactly that. A dhi version of the edp. I love the edp but this is less lipsticky and less peppery. U should try.
Was looking forward to Coral Fantasy but it was a letdown for me, cannot wait to try this one out, looks like it is a must-have 😃
Yeah me to. Or the new Ch badboy cobalt blue
Which to buy first this one or gentleman society ?? Im going to have both eventually but which should i get first.
Reserve Privee for sure.
Society is weak, the Extreme Version is better (i have a Bottle) but Reserve Privee is Back Up Bottle-worthy 100% 😊
Got into fragrances through this channel, my go to is bvlgari man wood neroli
I got Givenchy EDP and Armani SWY Absolutely(chestnut). Do I need to get this?
Hey Ash great first impression orders mine mine just now! Will you be doing any more subscriber collection roasts? I recently sent you mine lol .
Fav of the year?! I'll go see what is talking about tomorrow
Sweet, this could be what i’ve missed in all of the others in the line. Really enjoyed the Cologne, EDP and Boisée but all of them have had terrible performance on me. Looking forward to check this one out.
Which did you like better the boise or the edp ?
Boisée was the best in the line for me followed by EDP.
Thanks for your opinion ❤️
I find this one to be weak on me as well.
Hey Ash, random question. Is there a place that you can recommend that isn't ebay to sell frags you no longer use?
Funny how "Stay safe" is now a common farewell statement even though COVID has fizzled out long ago.
cant wait for acqua di gio edp review !
Sir...Boisee remains my favorite...iris is too dominant STILL; in this version.Never been an " iris fanboy"
U need one of those two the OG gentleman or reserver privee who's the best ??
Just went to Dillards And Copped A Bottle 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does it have any similarity to Hugo Boss The Scent Accord?
Finally found it on sale, will be posting a review on itt
Is it anything like Escada Pour Homme? And if not anything like Escada PH?
How would you compare the whiskey note to CH Men Privee?
Its my sotd. I got it 15% off already. Its really nice
Sounds like we need a Chelsey Iris show down review.
Ah man, get better soon!
where do you got that bumber jacket.
got a sample of this and im getting lipstick , then also smells how jawbreaker fireball tastes very strange keep smelling it and im not sure
Will replace my dior homme once that’s finished.
This was the next house I was going to try
Do you see any similarity with Nasomatto Baraonda?
Ima buy it next fall! 😌😚Ima sleep on it.😅
