First day wearing this, and I like it. For me 20-30years old this is good however its more for the older crowd with its spicy touches.
And I don't care that there is no leather note listed hereit's def here and it's the main note. Casual, original, and intense?
This is not a full review but more of a short comment praising the quality of Givenchy perfumes. Smells amazing, lasts through the work day, awesome reactions from the ladies, not much more to say, another Josh Andsome Handsome approved scent. Smells rlly warm and woody for sure gonna pull some hoes but doesnt last very long for me max 2h on skin but 10h+ on clothes. This had so much potential to be incredible like the previous release but it falls flat very quickly. The woods with iris makes for a delightful treat during intimacy. Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boise . This stuff is great, I love it. Fragrantica Inc, United States. This line is good.
Its a shame because its a beautiful fragrance.
Umema: The Perfume That'll Never Be Smelled. It used to project much better but after having the bottle for nearly a year and keeping it in my bag/drawer I feel like it doesnt pack as strong of a punch as it used to. The EDT has a nice pear note that I enjoy but I was disappointed with how incredibly poor the performance was. Just got my bottle and oh boy, this smells 90% like zara pour homme lll. Still good at first but then very quickly it becomes extremely familiar. This is manly, sophisticated suited and booted. If you did.. One spray would be good. So glad I leaned on my vintage 80's GIVENCHY Gentleman to get me through when the revamped one came out just about three years ago. This is good especially the the heart notes.
I tested this on paper in Ulta. Very well crafted and refined, a beautifully balanced fragrance. They're both powdery, sweet iris fragrances, but as the EDP dries down, it becomes sweeter and more resinous with the balsam, benzoin etc. Decent. Probably spicebomb would be better for the younger boys. That being said it does seem to last long with a decent sillage based on the testing ive done, Im still going to use it for my wedding since it retains a great deal of the woodiness during its evolution that im looking for that goes great with the setting where the ceremony is taking place An open country big wooden building surrounded by trees at sunset , in a slightly warm but windy climate. Think I love it. Imagine smelling fresh pencil shavings along with a lipstick and some pepper.Although the iris isnt super lipsticky like in dior homme intense.This could be a great scent to dip your toes into iris fragrances. It's a generic fragrance, It opens up with like pepper spicy then dry down is woody.
I was surprised at the longevity and projection on the Boise. My only beef with this is the drydown gives me Armani code vibes. A pleasant, if a bit boring, addition to the range. More for winter and autumn times and when the weather is colder. Every time I wear this one I feel its impact is lost unlike the hugely distinctive fragrances that join it in the Gentleman range.
I love this scent. Not pleaseing at all. Amazing fragrance, my favorite in the Gentleman line. Magnificent fragrance at a super affordable price.
I own both and really like both, but this one seems weaker than the EDP.
I did a "sink test" with this one the other day and I was still getting hits of it in the bathroom a day later even after using the sink. On my clothes I can smell it maybe 6-8 hours, but on my skin theres literally nothing after a couple of hours (maximum), which is a great pity. From the top, I get a lot of coriander and pepper smells, the top does dry down a little to expose more sweetness. I've been using this fragrance for over six months and it is admittedly not my favorite one, probably not even in my top 10, but I reach for it quite often. I love this scent. I pulled my sample back out a couple of days ago and god damn, this just smells good. I created an account just to say how wonderful this fragrance smells. Givenchy Gentleman EDP is really quite good at what it does, and I have a bottle. Nevertheless, I love it and will continue to wear it regardless - it evokes the very essence of my childhood in Arabia! This stuff has such a mind blowing opening, which is the main reason I grabbed it, Its dark and mysterious but at the same time fresh, very woody but also slightly sweet, somewhat flowery but also spicy, with just the right amount of that characteristic iris, its truly a unique, refined and elegant smell, the only downside is that this lasts at most 25min, then I feel like it changes pretty quickly into somenthing darker and kinda generic that is really good and still classy but not even close to the magical opening that got me to buy it when I tested it in the store. The woods smell more heavy to me is this one.
Not obnoxiously sweet and the iris helps keep this clean. I owned the EDT first and then snagged this later on discount. The EDP is rated 4.22 and I think this should be much closer to that, but I suspect the woodiness has put off some people who are looking for Iris with this line. It is just a beautiful, clean woody scent that is perfect for cold weather. Performance is not beast-like but does the job. Creaminess is definitely there from the sandalwood on the dry down. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! It also lasts nicely, especially on clothes. I really like it but not as much as the EDP which is more interesting. I'll have to comment that I smell no iris, cacao nor woods, its quite a spicy green fragrance for me. I can live with that. I'd opt for those fragrances over this one any day. A friend of mine told me I smell like a typical Morrocan rich dad, and I'm not mad about it. I have the Gentleman Cologne and love it so I knew I had to get my nose on this. Boring release, nothing special and average longevity with soft to average projection.
Too familiar.
Its warm and spicy. Great opening, but the performance is horrendously bad, unfortunately. WPC: Interview With Alexandre Illan, Perfumer of the Rammstein Line and More, Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh Eau de Parfum, New Magnolias This Summer (2022): L'Eau D'Issey Eau & Magnolia, Miu Miu Twist Eau de Magnolia, and Beautiful Magnolia Intense Estee Lauder. I already have Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense, among other similar frags, so a question whether I need this, but I might. 8/10. Not bad, but nothing creative here. It is good though, and masculine which is a plus since iris can be a little too unisex for me sometimes. I asked what she'd score it 1 to 10 and she unhesitatingly said, "11". Contrastingly, Boise goes in a soft, woodier direction. More suited for formal wear and going to work. Bought a bottle a couple days ago to wear it for my wedding next month, even though I have a decent collection I wanted to get somenthing I have never worn before for such a special day and from the other options I had this just smelled like the perfect one, and also it had a great price.
Those two added touches are a definite improvement on the original. Only issue is longevity. The patchouli is not the hippie kind.
Definitely pepper and spices up top. Guitar 2016 below is right- very generic and short lasting. The composition is rich and counts on nobler raw materials, such as black pepper from Madagascar and Vietnam, essences of coriander from Russia and Ukraine, and geranium from Egypt, at the start. This feels quite similar to Givenchy Gentleman EDP (surprise surprise) but with a few differences.
This is stunning. I'm definitely going to get some use out of this now that the weather is cooler but I don't think this is a must try or blind buy worthy. When I sampled this I went crazy over it, I thought it was the perfect woodsy / Christmassy scent. Im not into iris if its too prominant. Great for the cooler weather but would be cautious in high heat. Feels like the mix between Dior Homme 2011 and D&G The one edp. Otherwise, this isn't bad. Unfortunately on me it sits just on the skin and does not last or project long or strongly enough to justify my further investments in the scent. Other ppl are saying it projects good so maybe they got a different batch mine is from august 2021 overall very nice scent.
Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. Performance is great, scent is great and the price is reasonable so this would be a good purchase for most people - if you can find it. In this fragrance it blends really well with the cedar. Its woodier and smells less like a powdery makeup bag. This scent is so familiar, especially as the top begins to fade. Can be worn for any occasion. Very very bad longevity,I tested this for 3 days and the sillage is almost 0. I have them both and these perfumes smell very much the same :D. This is a fantastic fragrance. The iris I only smell briefly in the opening (my least favourite part to be honest) but it probably just blends in well after that. I tried several samples and tested in on my skin for several wearings before buying the bottle and I do not regret it. Umema: The Perfume That'll Never Be Smelled, Carner Barcelona - the Summer Journey Collection, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum, Amber and Ambergris are Two Different Notes, Rice Perfumes That Stand Out From the Crowd, Givenchy Gentleman Eau De Parfum Boi (. I absolutely adore this fragrance. But I wouldn't use this during those really hot days. One of my favorite fragrances ever. SO, even if you normally don't like iris, this still may be worth testing. I am a woman, and just bought it for myself. Fresh Woods in the opening, dries down to a synthetic sandalwood with a little bit of patch and iris. This is better than the original Gentleman (circa 2017) this has a more masculine and elegant vibe. There's also a freshness to it as well. I definitely will be copping this soon. Beautiful composition.
Boise does have a slightly more mainstream designer vibe to it, which is not a bad thing as it might get better feedback from those around you.
You might be able to pull this off during summer. Decent performance. So yes, this doesnt rely on Iris quite as much, but it blends the woody notes with the Iris perfectly and there is still plenty of powdery Iris. Epicene Gamma IFF: The Common Part of Spicy Men's Colognes of the 1980s?
Got this on sale at a department store here in South Africa for R999 ($62) for 50ml which is relatively cheap for this fragrance here. Very woody and somewhat floral. I mean,do you have to put half the bottle these days for somebody to poorly smell it on you??? Hello everyone, just wanted to give my thoughts on this one. Worth trying if youre looking for a crowd pleasing fall/winter scent. Very nice and versatile. That example is beautifully blended masculine gourmand. The central part features iris concretes from China and Italy, cocoa, and cedar from Virginia.
Lasts about 10 hours on my skin and projects within about 6 feet for the first hour and a half and then in the dry down fades to about within arms reach. lol. Boise is a worthy flanker to Gentleman 2017 (which is one of my favorite designer launches in the past 5 years). Boise takes the pear, iris, and lavender accord of the original and adds a very sophisticated woody character. The sandalwood reminds me a lot of Feminite du Bois -- dry and dusty but also sweet, with warm gourmand-spiciness. Gentleman Boise smells very polished and expensive, but I do agree with the other commenters who said that this suffers from disappointing longevity. It's still something that I will enjoy wearing though, especially around the holidays. And don't get me wrong, i have the fragances listed below as well. Olivier Cresp created lots of flankers. and so I asked the SA to spray my arm. The first time I tried this I wasn't really impressed. Woody, iris, and mildly spicy. | | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. Gentleman Boise was also co-created by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp and its fragrance is classified as woody-floral-spicy. I must say that I love the whole line because of creatively balanced perfumery. The whole gentleman line is the only line with iris that I really love, but the EDT is just too sweet, though a really good scent. A very nice and underrated fragrance from Givenchy. With all that being said, I'm not amused or drawn to it. Very pleasant scent, i just wish this projected a little more. Just bought this one from a store cause it smelt nice on the tester strip. But it doesn't last. A great addition to my collection.
Some quick thoughts while testing on my arm. This is a classy, elegant, chocolate sweet, warm, woody scent. It's pleasant, sweet, irisy, office safe, dumb reach. I learn the smells of Gentleman line nowadays. The iris in this just works perfectly compared to some others that Ive tried.
Great for colder weather. I personally don't have high hopes for this one. My new favorite scent. Initially from the paper strip I thought 'yes this is good!' Its not overpowering and you wont be the loudest in the room. Probably the best of the the gentleman line. Mike Lowrey from Bad Boys for Life wears this. This scent is absolutely glorious! DON'T understand some of these new releases. I generally prefer citrus aromatics or citrus woody but this one is very nice and comforting to wear. The iris is definitely there from the begining, as for the cacao: i can smell it in the drydown after an hour. This is my favorite of the gentleman series sofar. The cacao reminds me a bit of Guerlain Heritage, tho this one is more modern clean woodsy. Edp and cologne are still better than this, in my opinion. This smells like you have your life together and are going places. The iris smells much lighter to my nose than the other dark bottle flankers. Its fairly long lasting, great for office or casual outings. Perfect for fall and winter. Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. WOW. There's a woman in my office who loves fragrances as well and when I sprayed this for her to smell she loved it. Just trying to save someone from maybe blind buying a full bottle. I feared even the 2018 EDP release (new black bottle) wouldn't quite "hold a candle" to the OG EDT released in the mid-1970's. Perfect for casual and office wear. Definitely my favorite of the Gentleman line.
Absolutely better than I could have imagined. Iris gives a slightly noticeable hint of powder.
This is lazy modern perfumery at its worst. It doesnt project and doesnt last. You might also be able to pull it off on a spring evening. For office sure why not but dont expect anyone to follow you around. Gentleman boisee is basically a very refined and extremely well mixed version of Issey Nuit d'Issey meet Joop (you get the sweetness of Joop with the woodsy accords of Nuit d'Issey). My wife also loves this on me so you will definitely get some compliments with this scent! Smells expensive, formal and elegant. Both are fantastic fragrances but there's just something about the Boisee that I find intoxicating and addictive. Unfortunately throwing in a ton of ambroxan into the formula does not make for pleasant experience with this one. Sillage and longevity is very poor for an EDP.

| | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. Best designer release of 2020 by far. There just isn't much to it - pleasant fresh woods in the forefront that disappear all too quickly into sandalwood. Woody, warm, cozy, hints of iris, cacao, and spices. The base of the olfactory pyramid reveals sandalwood from Australia, burning woods, and patchouli from Indonesia. I only wish it lasted longer. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! An elegant mix of clean scent with some cocoa trails. Take Prada L'Homme, and mix it with a bit of Ferragamo Uomo Signature, and oual! Only complaint would be that for a fragrance named boisee it isnt as foresty as I would have liked, the sandalwood is for sure the dominant wood. Very well done fragrance! I have the same issue with this that I had with the OG and with Carolina Herrera Prive and that's I can get sick of smelling that synthetic leather note. It reminds me of Korloff No Ordinary Man. When you own 150 fragrances, it's really hard to be impressed anymore, but this is VERY nice and I don't understand the mediocre 4.04 rating. What a well dressed gent looks for in a gourmand. A lot of people are giving this negative reviews and I couldn't disagree more. Another ABSOLUTE BANGER from Givenchy, if you're not at 3/4 chub from just spraying this on yourself, there's definitely something wrong with you. This one might be the one that I'd like the most, judging by the note breakdown. The "burnt wood" or "fire wood" accord is balanced with intense cocoa note and smoothed by sandalwood and iris.
And I don't care that there is no leather note listed hereit's def here and it's the main note. Casual, original, and intense?

Another ABSOLUTE BANGER from Givenchy, if you're not at 3/4 chub from just spraying this on yourself, there's definitely something wrong with you. This one might be the one that I'd like the most, judging by the note breakdown. The "burnt wood" or "fire wood" accord is balanced with intense cocoa note and smoothed by sandalwood and iris.
