Gentleman Réserve Privée

Gentleman Réserve Privée, the fragrance of a sophisticated and daring man. The men's fragrance Gentleman Réserve Privée takes us back to the heart of Givenchy's history, and more precisely to 1975, when the house launched its new Gentleman, in complete break with the compositions of its time. It was then a more powerful and highly couture fragrance.

Where to buy

Since 2017, the story has continued and the Gentleman by Givenchy line has offered a new vision of masculine elegance, combining daring and delicacy. It is precisely in this spirit that Givenchy's Gentleman Réserve Privée fragrance was created in 2022.

The alliance of perfumery and distilling

Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy dares an unprecedented experience. It is a men's fragrance that was created by master perfumers and master distillers. It brilliantly combines two entirely different olfactory worlds: that of perfumes and that of liqueurs. As one might expect, it draws inspiration from whisky and links it to the sophistication of more floral scents or more intense, woody notes. The whisky absolute contained in Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy was created in Grasse, the capital of perfumery. Its barley, however, comes from a Scottish distillery. The result is a juice uniting the expertise of two worlds, giving rise to an intense and captivating fragrance. Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy opens with a fresh breath of Italian bergamot, paired with an absolute of Scottish whisky. At its heart, Gentleman Réserve Privée contains the floral and refined scent of the star ingredient of the Gentleman collection: iris. It is enhanced with chestnut and Laotian benzoin resin. In its base, Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy becomes more masculine and virile, in a very woody breath, brilliantly combining Virginia cedar, Haitian vetiver, and Indonesian patchouli.

The amber bottle of Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy

Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy is a very luxurious fragrance, intended for a modern-day gentleman. This is also reflected in its bottle. It resembles a whisky flask, elegantly topped with an opaque black cylindrical cap, like a top hat. The bottle of Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy is thus split into two equal parts. Its upper half is opaque. It plays on warm coppery brown shades. Its lower part, meanwhile, plays with transparency, while being tinted with a warm amber color. These two parts are joined by a label marked with gold lettering. Givenchy's cap, for its part, is stamped with the brand's logo, for a highly luxurious touch. Finally, in a more sustainable and responsible commercial approach, the bottle of Gentleman Réserve Privée by Givenchy is made from 15% recycled glass. As for size, it is available in two different formats, in 60 ml or 100 ml bottles.

Olfastory’s review

It all began in 1975, when Givenchy created a first fragrance named Gentleman. It was in complete break with the other scents in vogue at the time. It was a very powerful and couture composition, intended for a courteous yet daring man. In 2017, Givenchy decided to reinterpret this best-seller to make it a more contemporary fragrance, for today's gentlemen. Since then, Givenchy's Gentleman line has offered a new vision of elegance, more nuanced than in the past. Gentleman Réserve Privée fits into this approach while daring to reclaim the flavor of whisky. Here is our review.
