Mandarin orange, how do I love thee? I love thee with cedar… I love this fragrance so much, that I transitioned from male to female with it. It predated *and* outlasted my marriage of 13 years and is *still* my daytime fragrance every day even now. My one true love…

I bought this a year ago and had forgotten about it. Rediscovered it and it would be among my all time favourites if the performance wasn’t so poor. The smell is unique and amazing (in my opinion), but it is basically a skin scent right from the get go. There is not much projection if any, so it’s good for offices in that respect, but if you are wanting a scent that will turn heads this may not be for you. If it had more oomph and longevity, ladies watch out!
demidov565656 – :
Trust me the people that dislike this for any reason I would disqualify all reviews because they don’t know what’s good, as I said before 1st off you need to be the type of person who is unmistaken for others and that’s what this cologne is no doubt. All Givenchy makes is a hit
shjilav – :
One of the best out there regardless of these other clowns say. Most people can’t sport this depending on the type of person they are, however if your bold and confident I would not worry. This is Givenchy quality and won’t get mistaken for another cologne. I wouldn’t be worried about rocking this any day of the week. Fragrances like this are signature because they smell nothing like the soapy other products out there. Givenchy always makes great stuff however this is my number 1 for the house. Receive tons of compliments and will get you recognition when your at a meeting or on a date / public setting. Cologne won’t fix the person you are but it will enhance what your coming off as. For the money it’s still in my top 4 regardless of the cost.
xBogdan – :
Yes, the it does not perform like it used to. It’s different now. But my nostalgia makes me love how it is today. I love it anyway and I’m going to buy it from time to from time just for myself.
NeftEvittee – :
Very creative & unique.. if projection and longevity were a bit better I would assume this fragrance would be extremely hyped. Nothing is wrong with reapplying Givenchy PH, since the opening is so beautiful. I wish I could find other alternatives with a similar scent with that adventurous performance that fragrances have today… Maybe I’ll research The MFK house, please feel free to share any suggestion ms with me,

FEDILLENTYWEW – :
I received this today with high hopes, unfortunately my expectations were not met with this one. As another reviewer already said, this one is way too “perfumey”. I own blue label and in my opinion it is much better smelling and definitely more masculine than the original pour homme. This is too soft, sweet and powdery for my tastes, it could be worn as a unisex fragrance.
ryptyk – :
So got this fragrance in a trade from @Joenick68, thanks man. This is a great sweet floral scent, that liners in the air draws people in. But with all honesty, it does give me a headache.
If it wasn’t for the grapefruit(I LOVE GRAPEFRUIT BTW!) & cedar…i wouldn’t like it…Those two notes won me over…But i don’t know WHAT IN THIS, GAVE ME A HEADACHE.
But over all it’s a good scent…That won’t offend anyone…So perfect for work & dates.
I used six sprays…both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt.
Will I buy this again?…No.
Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Sample it first.

This fragrance is fantastic. I just love it and will always keep it in my collection.
salsat – :
Woody, spicy, fresh, sweet enough and, rarely today, truly masculine – a very good fragrance.
I know it looks like a commercial for the position of the missionary, but Givenchy Pour Homme represents the archetype of a mature man fragrance, without saying a bit it is outdated.
I was too young to appreciate and remember how this perfume smelled in its glory, but now I was very surprised by the resemblance to Bleu de Chanel EDP. If we look at the notes of the two perfumes we can see that cedar, labdanum and grapefruit are shared by both.
Of course, Givenchy has diluted to the extreme Pour Homme through reformulations.
Although the shelf in which it is exposed is now covered with dust, I see it better than 90% of what is new on the market.

This used to leave the most amazing beautiful masculine trail behind you when you walked through the office I had loads of compliments back in the day when it was original formulation, The boxes had decrative lines side by side …that’s the only way to visually notice the original and sometimes people sell older boxes with new bottles in it so they can over charge people so beware, other than that the new formulation smells like they took someone who you loved and gutted them hollow and put a imposter inside and tried to trick you telling you that nothing ever happened and that they are still your number one buddy… BEWARE lol if you like pine scented fragrance then you will love it like a pine tree scented car freshner hanging from your rear view mirror….Otherwise pass because this is crap without that magical ingredient. …Givenchy why oh why did you have to break my heart?
_katty_ – :
If you want strong over the top fragrance forget givinchy pour homme as this won’t deliver… if you want sexy kisses from your fragrance look this way as this is quite soft but beautiful. I got this one for my hubby and it’s really quite lovely it’s deffinatly for a kind man who has a true gentleman nature as my man does, it’s quite zingy at first then warm spice (and woods) but never heavy more light weight as men’s fragrance goes so spray it liberally as it’s a quiet one desperate to be heard.
A clever fragrantican below said it’s like the smell of an expensive New leather bag , yup it deffinatly is !!!!
Hint hint husband 😉
8 outs 10 fragrance
5 outs 10 for projection
7 outa 10 longevity ( is quite good really it is a softer scent but as long as that’s what u want it will last softly for many hours).
1010 bottle is cool.

“It is so beautiful that you may just want stick your nose to it and never move back. I used to buy it for my boyfriend year after year for his birthday and finely decided to use it myself. It is not really a unisex but on me it is soooo beautiful, I love it and get many compliments. My favorite for many years now, there is nothing like it! Simply a masterpiece!” I could not agree more with this review. I had a chance to buy it for $19.99 10 years ago.
VladymyrV – :
Givenchy pour Homme is a woody, citrusy, warm spicy men’s scent with a little bit of fresh sweetness and a leathery pinch note. It is inoffensive and easy wearable in summer and spring.
It opens with a blast of citruses with violet and coriander. After a few minutes you must stick your nose on your skin to feel it. So discreet but nice manly smell.
It lacks of projection and the longevity is moderate (4-5 hours), nothing exceptional. I recomend it only for summer and spring for places that the scent must not be so loud.
The most distinguished notes I get are grapefruit, coriander, cedar, labdanum, mandarin-orange and vetiver. The other notes are here but weak. Generally I like it a lot. I wish it had better projection..
juswar – :
I see the cedar note in the ratings, yet I would not at all compare this to Royal Oud (also known for cedar).
The citrus might be what sets it in a different direction.
I love this stuff… very linear and sharp, very plain, direct, manly smell.
It is well balanced, serious, but not sombre, friendly, but not hyper or giddy.
A nice professional smell that I think goes best in an office or church.
Longevity could be better though.
Score: 85.4%

vitsaraaz – :
It’s a very delicate and subtle cologne. I am kind of disappointed since the brand Givenchy is pretty decent in the cologne world and I had high expectations from it. Its mild right from the start. The citrus and woody accords are highly noticeable. On my skin, it becomes a skin scent after 20 mins. But again, I would want to give it a benefit of the doubt by saying that it might react differently for everyone.
I am glad that I have it in my collection (I can use it on the days when I dont feel like using other stuff) but I wouldn’t recommend a friend to go for it. It’s definitely a summer scent.
Flaym – :
I’ve long been a fan of Givenchy Pour Homme and I’ve had it almost since it was first out. I do think it has lost a little power over the years but that’s quite a common thing these days. On the immediate plus side, it is very versatile: day or night, winter or summer, work or romance, this one has them all covered (and that’s rarer than you might think). I’d say it is moderate in it’s strength and duration – usually when a perfume doesn’t last long, it means the person is dehydrated or eating poorly or both, rather than the perfume being weak. Givenchy Pour Homme is subtle. It doesn’t go around screaming its citrusy top notes or bombing you with woods or spices. It is a quiet pleaser. I like the cedar and the violet mixed in with the orange. There’s something else in there that isn’t in the fragrance notes, maybe blackberry, which I detect and keeps me intrigued. I like this a lot but I’ve never fallen in love with it. There’s something missing which prevents it from becoming a bona fide masterpiece and I couldn’t tell you what that might be. But it is very good. One day it will go the way of most perfumes and end up discontinued or ruined by a reformulation to meet the latest regulations. Buy a bottle now. If, like me, you have quite a number of colognes you wear, this one will last a long time because it’s never the first one in your thoughts. I would compare it to the players in football teams on whom others forge a reputation of greatness. It’s the quiet midfielder who retains and passes the ball like clockwork for others to launch attacks and score goals. When he’s not there, things don’t work quite as well. Oh sure, there are the flair players who score spectacular goals and this one will never be the player to make marketing men dream of riches, but, through all the noise and hype, you need a solid, reliable performer to hold everything together. That’s Givenchy Pour Homme. Buy it and hold on to it. One day it’ll be gone and it won’t be quite as easy to replace as you might think.
Ms_Chocolate – :
So, I can say the following about this one: I PERFECTLY understand why they have this particular one to be called (givenchy pour homme). The reason is, this perfume represents the TYPICAL smell of a man, a mature male to be more specific. I am not saying this is how a mature man should smell, am saying that once u smell this perfume,I’ll IMMEDIATELY visualise a masculine adult guy.
It’s not my type, but maybe someday I’ll grab this.
sanyka – :
I threw in a sample of Givenchy PH among some others, just because. Nothing special to be found here, very weak performance. Reminds me of something Gucci would put out, can’t really figure it out, Guilty perhaps… To be compared to Gucci is not a high score in my book!
ralex71 – :
For me this scent brings back good memories. It’s a lovely woody peppery note that makes it so nice. Longevity is not the best
Nataxa1972 – :
Heck no! The packaging as well as the juice are both awful to me. Pi is the winner out of the entire men’s line of fragrances and I will not be renouncing that one at all.
VANECA – :
Love this. I had it like 10 years ago. Got a 1 ml sample recently, and man, this juice is still so lovely. Brings back good memories. It is very crisp and woody with a little bit of fresh sweetness! Very gentle and charming. Now, projection and sillage? Well, beast mode! I am very surpzired that a few drops out of a sampler lasted a lot! The fragrance is not overpowering yet not weak at all! Nonetheless, i suggest to test it before you buy it to see how it works on your skin.
My Score: 9/10
kimizol – :
Doesn’t last more that a couple of hours.
richpalladdin – :
this one is underrated
dedizbistrog – :
Recently re discovered in a small parfumerie in my hometown ..citrus opening but the davana flower makes its entrance..And bring to the fragrance the RHUM effect ! And this IS what i like ! Stylish And Wam !
Витак – :
Enough nice fresh citrus scent for spring, summer, autumn, not offensive, not cheapy smell and not so masculine. I would buy for myself if has bigger sillage and better longevity.
rustikzaharov – :
Fragrance will last longer on skin that is well-moisturized, because oils on the skin trap the fragrance notes and make them last longer.If you have dry skin you can always reapply
lukinvladik7771 – :
This is a very nice and delicately sweet scent, but so soft that my 1ml sample was not enough to produce any projection at all. Nevertheless, this stayed with me at skin level until the next day. I think it’s perfect for intimate moments, and I love the scent, but useless for everyday wear. Unless maybe if grossly oversprayed it actually projects some? How much more, 1ml is quite a lot already…
PS: I have just tested the blue one: it is very similar, lovely delicate scent, and it actually projects – not much, just perfect, and for a long time. And it also lasts 12 hours + as a skin scent. So I think that mr. Morillas and Ermenidis took a belly flop in 2002 with this one, but later, in 2004 they corrected their mistake with the blue label. Better late than never!
Tusyatina – :
Masterpiece. I recomend it. Sweet warm and woody. Perfect.
Walter_chel – :
nice perfume, little sillage, not very long lasting on my skin, however the scent is not bad. i beleive the blue version is better.
клэптон – :
Don’t know much abt perfumes but I love this perfume.i think 2004 i and some Arab guy were the 2 young guys using this perfume in my class and it was nice with the compliments.but i did not get a refill. years later head of surgery walks by n d scent of this perfume on him projected power and class..so tempted to get a refill n that’s y am here to actually see pples review on it.
masnura – :
Blue label is better!
valentina – :
It’s cool, but seriously, there is some much more interesting stuff than this…for me it smells of Lipton Ice Tea. Not very appealing as a body smell.
lapind – :
Smells like moschino uomo, just lighter and less powdery. It’s ok. Nothing special but it’s clean and citrusy. Gets dry and woody after an hour. Longevity is average, and projection is subtle. Best for spring and summer.
melnik-alex – :
Very pleasant! Citrusy for sure and seems suited for day…summer for that reason. I think i will get this for my husband.
nauris07 – :
I’m sad to disagree with so many positive comments but i have found this to be the most uninteresting bland and forgettable fragrance i’ve tried in a while. I love Givenchy, Gentleman, Pi, Insense, Organza to my nose are masterpieces. I smell wood and thats about it 4/10
максим123123 – :
Lovely discreet wood, with a citrus opening free of the bergamot I can’t stand. Terrible longevity and silage on my skin but so pleasant while it lasts. Basically a discrete version of Cartier’s Declaration (for those of us who love pencil shavings.)
gzv853elipseskism – :
I don’t agree it has bad longevity, because it all depends on your body chemistry. Yes, I’m a woman and I’m a huge fan of this gem, I have got 3 large empty bottles and to my shock – on me it smells how I like it, but on my husband – I love it more. On him it stays more than 8 hours, and what I love is the dry down, the most beautiful in this scent. I don’t agree it’s poor quality as for Givenchy, bu everyone has right to own opinion.
I think this perfume is very sensitive for the light, because I purchased on eBay already two bottles with this sour , old , bad stored smell, so make sure you have correct one.
I believe if you want to try it – go first for 4 ml mini bottle. It;s relatively cheap and never spoiled.
SalkopyanPP – :
I smelled this today for the first time and it is my loss not having paid attention to this one before. The description above says it all – classy, stylish, and seductively fragrant. Elegant wood blends with gorgeous fresh notes to create a luxurious masculine statement. This affirms once more, in my mind, that Givenchy is incapable of making a bad or boring fragrance. A classic scent for any age or occasion.
Александр11 – :
It is a very bland generic scent with, from my viewpoint, nothing remarkable about it, much more woody than spicy plus in my opinion staying power is not great.
ment-bu – :
Givenchy’s Masterpiece
Amdusis – :
This juice is crazy good, anyone who overlooks it for another generic woody fruity run of the mill is mistaken.
I have owned since it was launced in 2002 and it was the best blind buy ever.
You get a crisp fresh blast of grapefruit, oilve, vetiver, cedar with a touch of menthol vibe. Its relatively unique if you study it instead of a 2 sec whiff, i personally have never found anything like how it dries down and the next day OMG it if you smell your shirt its the most gorgeous dry, airy, woody smell.
Its a young – mature gentlemans fragrance with a few of the notes missing that make it smell like a nasty old mans smell that so many colognes smell of.
Its a fantastic and i highly recommend it!
olimniya – :
this is my first love in parfumes! when i saw its commercial on a magazine, it was on the market for the first time, i was so impressed that i felt this parfume is just for me and i have to have it even before trying it, and i was right. you can get the character as soon as it is sprayed out of bottle. it smells spicy and lemon feels warm and sexy and lasts long. but it this strong love for this parfume has weakened since 2002. i still have it but not my favourite by the time i write this…
АнТоХаА – :
I don’t agree that this is citrus fragrance. I feel there olibanum and cedar, can’t find coriander or vetiver?
I’m a woman, but this is my beloved perfume. It’s very sensual , woody and just sexy, I feel so good wearing it and I feel full of energy and love for people – this is very funny, but I’m really nicer to people when I use Givenchy pour Homme.
Actually ii had very long sillage on me.
I might be not too construcive , because I fell in love with this fragrance when I have been working in Kenya, and most of men were using it. For me it’s just Kenya, african sun, happy and smiling people I’m completelly in love with this fragrance, since 8 years.
lolbigtorrent.org – :
An early morning walk along the Rue du la Petit Musc in the Marais in Paris is filled with many aromas. Among them is the blend of cooly sharp grapefruit, exotic Mandarin Oranges from the Chinese restaurant on the corner laced with other lush fruits and a hint of violets from the flower stalls on the Rue de Rivolli. Givenchy captured those heady Parisian flavors and stirred in exotic spices, warm woods, a few light florals and a dash of Vetiver to come up with this enticingly romantic at times erotic delight.
Always elegant but never aloof Givenchy Pour Homme has just the right touch of light hearted spring fun that can lead one into an unforgettable summer. Longevity six to eight hours on my skin. Four and a half platinum stars.
Босяк – :
This is an alluring scent.
It is fresh, but not acidic, classy, but not dated, subtle, but not forgetable, calm, but not boring…
Oh, my! I could go on and on for hours.
Even though it is a warm woody smell, it’s not as dominat as many other woody fragrences for men.
I find it suitable for men and women who desire a perfume that is calm, poised and doesn’t “make a fuss” .
This perfume doesn’t yell “Here we go!”, but gently murmurs “Come closer…”.
It’s lovely!
blok0077 – :
Certainly an interesting and unique ‘woody’ fragrance with a classic masculine (almost musky) character.. This is undoubtedly a gentleman’s scent, but the overall personality to me is late thirties onward. Just a personal preference, as others have noted, nothing too exciting about this scent. Just a simple, clean & natural classic.
The aromatic greenish-tan scent is pungent and herbal at first, almost leathery — this soon softens to a sweeter, barely recognizable citrus and vetiver suede. The woodsy spice of the cedar, coriander and vetiver dominate this scent, but the sweet floral and citrus notes round it out nicely.
Ideally suited for office wear and anything from business casual to corduroy. It’s a classic scent that arguably could be appropriate to wear year-round because it has enough fresh, fruity sweetness to get through spring & summer.
Overall: 7/10
Longevity: 5/10
Sillage: 7/10
Элвин – :
Nice woody fragrance with character. I think there is nothing to complain about this fragrance. But there is no Givenchy wow factor to this juice. I really love the base notes of this one and also longevity on my skin is very good.
I like this for office wear.

An absolutely superlative fragrance.Very refreshing,exhilarating & relaxing.Top quality.
12kvartal_club – :
This has become one of my go-to no brainer, linear fragrances that I reach for on a regular basis. There is nothing overly “interesting” about this scent, but it has a beautiful balance of subtle cedar, grapefruit, and vetiver. It is not a scent that many will remark on, except the occasional other who gets close enough, who will probably remark, “Damn, you smell good!” I have many interesting fragrances to choose from, but this is one I wear when I don’t want to stand out olfactorily, but I want to exude a subtle sweet confidence. A similar cedar as in Laliqe Equus, but without the overly sweet base, and a touch of grapefruit for balance and acidity. Love that cedar!!
nick23 – :
A nice scent, but lacks that edgy appeal. The idea was to create a “gentleman’s” scent but they were not specific on whether they were regarding a younger or an older gentleman. Either way, it is a mass market appeal fragrance perfect for any teen to a guy in his late 20’s.
The top notes to this are fantastic and last quite some time. Imagine a fresh citrus floral. YES!!! Even the transition to the heart is great with the fruits, exotic spices, and florals creating something interesting, something with an old world feel blended with a modern take. The base is a big disappointment though. This had so much potential! The top and the heart had a great thing working but this just turns into another ambery, cedar based floral at the base. The funny thing is that amber is not even in the note breakdown but it is defintely there, or at least my nose picks up on it. If you like the amber and cedar in allure homme sport, then I highly recommend this one but if you want this scent with that edge I mentioned, I would recommend trying Hearts & Daggers from Ed Hardy, at least that one stays spicy throughout the scent life and keeps me entertained everytime I wear it. Oh, and True Religion Drifter and Givenchy Pour Homme have the exact same drydown…. the exact same, I thought I would add that.
Overall, this is a perfect, safe scent that is highly inoffensive and will get positive attention. Sillage is good for 1-2 hours then it becomes a skin scent, and the scent life is around 4-6 hours. Since I do enjoy it, I give it a thumbs up but a “thumbs up” slightly into the neutral.

Muy Givenchy,
Discreta pero con mucha clase, el fondo o secado es finisimo, rico, masculino y sin agresividad.
Es mas para disfrutarla uno mismo en la propia piel que para dejar una estela olfativa.
Aunque tiene un arranque a lo CK luego deviene Givenchy, lo dicho, muy Givenchy.

valltergun_jubass – :
Clean, fresh and cool.
It starts with citruses sensation then you can smell the vetiver..and maybe i’m wrong but i could smell the cardamom.
it lasts for a long time .. and for me I would wear this just in summer times.

Just got this one and when I first sprayed it I thought it smelled like a cleaning chemicals? then the next day I put it on and my wife said it smells like a “man”! So now I like it!

I wore it the first time, its good, after some time I can smell cardamom. Its similar to blue label however on my skin does not last like it.

When I tried on my skin somehow smelt so synthetic. I couldnt believe it was from Givenchy.
I ll try again. It shouldnt be.
mcolkeen – :
bought this for my dad..he luv this..fresh smells n long lasting, the smell will stay on ur shirts..suggest this for guys who smokes, heavy smoker indeed
punisher_gun – :
As ticalau said, the bottle is a little ridiculous, but the stuff inside is really nice.
This is a warm, spicy wood fragrance that, to me, projects warmth, trust and youth. Someone left this fragrance behind in my apartment, so I have no idea who it actually belonged to in the first place. It reminded me of a young man in a suit and tie, smiling genuinely and offering a firm handshake.
Gentlemen, please feel free to wear this one whenever you wish.
dj_doty – :
Even though ginger isn’t mentioned as one of the notes, I’m sure that I detect it in this fragrance. Great smell though. It was a toss up between this and emporio diamonds by Armani, I chose this one and I’m satisfied with my choice.
gadgienko – :
How can a fragrance be spicy and sickly sweet at the same time !?
If you don’t know then you have to try this one.
Being spicy and sweet at the same time can be enjoyable for some but not for me. The note of coriander way too strong. I can say that this fragrance has just one note: coriander. The coriander is the one which is spicy and the others bring their contribution not like different notes, notes that are supposed to be detectable, but like a mixture, a sweet one. Together this two are like a bomb that waits to be detonated. And when you detonate it (spray it on your skin) a war starts, oh man, and then I hope you have a close source of water near you because this one you’ll make you puke.
A big stinker. The first fragrance that I dislike.Hmm.. dislike is not the right word. I hate it!
My advice: not a safe blind buy. Try it first, not once, but a few times, because this can be tricky.
bilbi – :
I really love this fragrance. To me it’s warm/woody and fruity/fresh all at the same time.
While I’m not yet experienced enough to be able to distinguish all the individual notes, I can clearly smell the mandarin orange & grapefruit, as well as the woody cedar. Such a great combination. In my opinion this can be worn anywhere at any time.
The longevity & sillage are great. I put this on before 3:00pm and I can still smell it quite clearly now at 8:00pm.
The House of Givenchy is becoming my absolute favourite when it comes to men’s fragrances. Another winner!
Stereo_01 – :
It has a special identity…classy scent to be used every now and then, especially in cold weather IMO….I like it but I will not be rebuying it.

I tried this one out today I was actually looking to try out “Gentleman” but the store had sold out. I really like the longevity and silage of this fragrance. It started out fruity sweet and woody and the woodiness has continued up until now – after 8 hours it is still potent.

A nice sexy-fresh fragrance. It is fresh, but not aquatic, it has some non-tart sweetness added to it, plus you can smell clearly the woods. Definitely, another great Givenchy.And another thing, if you like this but want another Labdanum fragrance that is not citrus oriented, try Alviero Martini 1A Classe Uomo. These two scents have a similar type of sweetness and warmth.

I’ve had Pour Homme Blue Label for a while and I love it but for some strange reason I never came across with this one until yesterday when I went to get my second bottle of Very Irresistible (great scent) and I saw it there. I tried it for curiosity and was speechless… Wow! what a great perfume! Masculine, elegant, chic… It was love at first sniff 😀
I don’t know why this isn’t very popular being as good as it is; I saw it on sale for 150$ (that’s cheap in a volatile Economy like the one we have in my country) and bought it instantly. I highly recommend that you try this one, it’s magic like all Givenchy scents.

It is so beautiful that you may just want stick your nose to it and never move back. I used to buy it for my boyfriend year after year for his birthday and finely decided to use it myself. It is not really a unisex but on me it is soooo beautiful, I love it and get many compliments. My favorite for many years now, there is nothing like it! Simply a masterpiece!

Addition: there is a “Givenchy pour Homme Silver Collector Limited Edition” of this perfume. It differs by notes of SILVER. That means sharpy belling notes, sounding like chorus, very similar to STDupont “belling” style. I think that was added for balancing purposes, because origin
