You can spin off these flankers endlessly: Gentleman nude, Gentleman ski, Gentleman apres ski, Gentleman country chic (add a little cow dung note into the mix), Gentleman Dandy (floral feminine), .you get the picture? This one might be the one that I'd like the most, judging by the note breakdown. Its a shame because its a beautiful fragrance. For me 20-30years old this is good however its more for the older crowd with its spicy touches. But I was surprised by the absence of citrus notes. 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. Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boise . Very very bad longevity,I tested this for 3 days and the sillage is almost 0. I must say that I love the whole line because of creatively balanced perfumery. 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. This is a brighter, more floral Iris than the EDP, which is darker and has more of a gourmand vanilla facet to it. Fragrantica Inc, United States. Perfect for casual and office wear. Edp and cologne are still better than this, in my opinion. Its not overpowering and you wont be the loudest in the room. The cacao reminds me a bit of Guerlain Heritage, tho this one is more modern clean woodsy. The scent profile is very nice, but I own a number of better alternatives from the same ballpark. Fresh Woods in the opening, dries down to a synthetic sandalwood with a little bit of patch and iris. And don't get me wrong, i have the fragances listed below as well. I tested this on paper in Ulta. It's so screechingly synthetic from the first spray and that ambroxan hangs on in there ruining and overpowering all the iris and cacao notes from the EDP. I definitely will be copping this soon. 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. Now this is getting ridiculous.What next? Mike Lowrey from Bad Boys for Life wears this. It is good though, and masculine which is a plus since iris can be a little too unisex for me sometimes. Unfortunately throwing in a ton of ambroxan into the formula does not make for pleasant experience with this one. It's still a bit bright and fresh while being thoroughly dark and seductive. 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. Its woodier and smells less like a powdery makeup bag. Those two added touches are a definite improvement on the original. Givenchy Gentleman EDP is really quite good at what it does, and I have a bottle. This scent is absolutely glorious! Sheeeeesh this smells masculine, mature, mass appealing, and deserves more praise imo. But it doesn't last. I generally prefer citrus aromatics or citrus woody but this one is very nice and comforting to wear. 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. I love this scent. Smells expensive, formal and elegant. Absolutely better than I could have imagined. Please read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boise is a woody, spicy and powdery fragrance. 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. The iris smells much lighter to my nose than the other dark bottle flankers. Some quick thoughts while testing on my arm. 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. The "burnt wood" or "fire wood" accord is balanced with intense cocoa note and smoothed by sandalwood and iris. I was surprised at the longevity and projection on the Boise. This is lazy modern perfumery at its worst. This deserves recognition and respect. Very well crafted and refined, a beautifully balanced fragrance. Not obnoxiously sweet and the iris helps keep this clean. Decent. OVRLDD - you are spot on, like a 50/50 mix of Prada L'Homme and Ferragamo Uomo (either original or Signature) - perfect description. 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. I absolutely adore this fragrance. This line is good. I directly compared it in the store to Gentleman EDP for about 40 minutes and every time I smelled the strips, I much preferred the Boise over the regular EDP. Beautiful chocolate digestive biscuit with a soft iris touch. More suited for formal wear and going to work. Woody, iris, and mildly spicy. This is a classy, elegant, chocolate sweet, warm, woody scent. I wear this during the day in autumn and winter months. Im not into iris if its too prominant. I tried several samples and tested in on my skin for several wearings before buying the bottle and I do not regret it. The central part features iris concretes from China and Italy, cocoa, and cedar from Virginia. I don't love it, but you know it's the first day so it's very possible that I could change the like into a love, but this does deliver a pretty different sort of fragrance experience as it's not really completely similar to anything I've ever smelled. This is the OG 2017 Gentleman with added iris and maybe a very light touch of cocoa powder. Very woody and somewhat floral. This scent is so familiar, especially as the top begins to fade. I've heard Boise described as Givenchy Gentleman EDP mixed with D&G The One EDP, and I do get that. Only issue is longevity. It doesnt project and doesnt last. For office sure why not but dont expect anyone to follow you around. My wife also loves this on me so you will definitely get some compliments with this scent! Gentleman Boise was also co-created by Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp and its fragrance is classified as woody-floral-spicy. 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 (. Boring release, nothing special and average longevity with soft to average projection. Olivier Cresp created lots of flankers. I own Gentleman EDP and like the EDP Boisee quite a bit more. I owned the EDT first and then snagged this later on discount. Probably the best of the the gentleman line. 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. With all that being said, I'm not amused or drawn to it. Magnificent fragrance at a super affordable price. I'll give my thoughts as soon as I get my nose on it. But i'll recommend iris lovers to give this a shot, it's a different twist on iris based fragances. This perfume is not special and it's boring. Fantastic spicy-woodsy fragrance. Epicene Gamma IFF: The Common Part of Spicy Men's Colognes of the 1980s? Perfect for fall and winter. My only beef with this is the drydown gives me Armani code vibes. Very pleasant scent, i just wish this projected a little more. This is good especially the the heart notes. When I sampled this I went crazy over it, I thought it was the perfect woodsy / Christmassy scent. Sillage and longevity is very poor for an EDP. That example is beautifully blended masculine gourmand. And I don't care that there is no leather note listed hereit's def here and it's the main note. Great for colder weather. First day wearing this, and I like it. If you did.. One spray would be good. 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. This is not a full review but more of a short comment praising the quality of Givenchy perfumes. 7.75 out of 10. This is better than the original Gentleman (circa 2017) this has a more masculine and elegant vibe. Anyways, i bought this because i have gentleman edp and gentleman cologne and i love them both. This is quite different yet very elegant and gentleman'ish, i can see myself picking this up for a date rather than the EDP or the Cologne. I love this scent. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! 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. Smelled this today and to me this seems like a manlier, less metrosexual version of the EDP which I own. You might be able to pull this off during summer. This feels quite similar to Givenchy Gentleman EDP (surprise surprise) but with a few differences. Guitar 2016 below is right- very generic and short lasting. This one is perfect IMO. From the top, I get a lot of coriander and pepper smells, the top does dry down a little to expose more sweetness. The kicker for me is that the performance of this is worse than Gentleman EDP, and I don't think the difference in scent compensates for the poorer performance. A very masculine fall fragrance. Its fairly long lasting, great for office or casual outings. 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. Initially from the paper strip I thought 'yes this is good!' I personally don't have high hopes for this one. A great addition to my collection. Gentleman EDT was good, but this EDP Boise is even better. Dark and mysterious but not overly sweet like many oriental style fragrances. You might also be able to pull it off on a spring evening. This had so much potential to be incredible like the previous release but it falls flat very quickly. Its warm and spicy. @cassiano I am leaving Dior behind for greener (and more stable, less expensive) pastures. 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. Every time I wear this one I feel its impact is lost unlike the hugely distinctive fragrances that join it in the Gentleman range. It's a generic fragrance, It opens up with like pepper spicy then dry down is woody. | | Nederlands | Srpski | Romn | | | | |, Copyrights 2006-2022 Fragrantica.com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. There just isn't much to it - pleasant fresh woods in the forefront that disappear all too quickly into sandalwood. I enjoyed the original (I mean the current EDP, not the older one), so as a man who gravitates towards woody fragrances, I was very curious to try this. Good, not necessarily a game-changer. Overall 9/10 is very good and is not getting the recognition it deserves. Creaminess is definitely there from the sandalwood on the dry down. Can be worn for any occasion. It has good projection and longevity, and it won't overwhelm anyone around you. Still good at first but then very quickly it becomes extremely familiar. Not a bad fragrance especially for cold winter nights but not necessarily novel and unique. Don't blind-buy it. I can live with that. 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. Beautiful composition. A friend of mine told me I smell like a typical Morrocan rich dad, and I'm not mad about it. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! Just got my bottle and oh boy, this smells 90% like zara pour homme lll. The EDT has a nice pear note that I enjoy but I was disappointed with how incredibly poor the performance was. More for winter and autumn times and when the weather is colder. An elegant mix of clean scent with some cocoa trails. Not bad, but also not game-changing mind-blowing addicting. It's also not as sweet as it lacks that prominent vanilla note, instead with the cacao which is slightly more bitter, like dark chocolate. One of my favorite fragrances ever. and so I asked the SA to spray my arm. I really love it. 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. 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. Contrastingly, Boise goes in a soft, woodier direction. I mean,do you have to put half the bottle these days for somebody to poorly smell it on you???

The iris in this just works perfectly compared to some others that Ive tried. Smells a lot like D&G The One EDP, with better performance tho. SO, even if you normally don't like iris, this still may be worth testing. A pleasant, if a bit boring, addition to the range. My new favorite scent. 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. Excellent, refined and well balanced fragrance that I love, but stopped wearing it due to its seriously subpar performance. Other ppl are saying it projects good so maybe they got a different batch mine is from august 2021 overall very nice scent. With a touch of powder. I love the whole Gentleman line so I might be biased, but this is another masterpiece in my mind. lol. Iris gives a slightly noticeable hint of powder. It reminds me of Korloff No Ordinary Man. Nevertheless, I love it and will continue to wear it regardless - it evokes the very essence of my childhood in Arabia! I created an account just to say how wonderful this fragrance smells. Everything blends so well and I just love to keep smelling it. Too familiar. What a well dressed gent looks for in a gourmand. Feels like the mix between Dior Homme 2011 and D&G The one edp. Similar to the rest of the givenchy gentlemen line, boisee is a EDP flanker that smells very spicy and strong. Would you say that this is a sufficient candidate? The opening smells so damn good! I'm gonna give it further wearings before I really say much more than that though, but this is an all seasons, signature scent type of fragrance that you can wear just about anywhere and for any occasions from dating to work to intimate situations. I only wish it lasted longer. The more I got acquainted with it, the more I find in it other popular fragrances. Best designer release of 2020 by far. Worth trying if youre looking for a crowd pleasing fall/winter scent. Take Prada L'Homme, and mix it with a bit of Ferragamo Uomo Signature, and oual! Hello everyone, just wanted to give my thoughts on this one. Probably spicebomb would be better for the younger boys. I really like it but not as much as the EDP which is more interesting. This stuff is great, I love it. Has a bigger opening but calms down in the dry down. Just bought this one from a store cause it smelt nice on the tester strip. Umema: The Perfume That'll Never Be Smelled. Not as sweet as the original and not as bitter as Eau De Parfum. Casual, original, and intense? Not pleaseing at all. I don't even usually like Iris, but everything about this one is phenomenal. I'd opt for those fragrances over this one any day. Aroma by Costa Brazil: Candidate For Best Fragrance 2022? I am a woman, and just bought it for myself. They've perfected the sort of DNA that originated with Dior Homme, which is amazing but way too heavy on the Iris and gives that lipstick-y and really pungent, nose tickling aroma. They're both powdery, sweet iris fragrances, but as the EDP dries down, it becomes sweeter and more resinous with the balsam, benzoin etc. Performance is not beast-like but does the job. 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. 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. I have the Gentleman Cologne and love it so I knew I had to get my nose on this. There's also a freshness to it as well. 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.
