Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label, from Givenchy was released in 2004. The perfumer behind this creation is Alberto Morillas and Ilias Ermenidis. It has the top notes of Bergamot and Grapefruit, middle notes of Artemisia, Cardamom, Lavender, and Pepper, and base notes of Cedarwood, Olibanum (Frankincense), and Vetiver.
I remember trying the pour homme and I could've sworn this one too? Maybe I didn't so I've revisited it to see what I think and I'm pleasantly surprised. The opening is a very uplifting citrus not all sharp, bitter grapefruit, some sweeter fruity tones. A clean light, peppery musk greets you as it settles and in the drydown with a body of woods, cedar and vetiver at the back. It's not rocket science and it will never astound anyone but this is a very nicely put together and wearable fragrance. Givenchy Pour Homme seems to be a throwback somehow, because it doesn't have any obvious, modern trickery or faddiness...but I suppose it did come out in 2004! I want to see this heavily reduced and I would consider adding it to my collection, because it's a worthwhile fragrance, without being remarkable in anyway.
