And because of the above three factors, GOA is maybe suitable for day-time offices. But is it really a good scent in the office? Not certain. And also it's a bit modest to wear at clubs or social gatherings. In my opinion, it can be worn anywhere, but not the best anywhere. Givenchy has done well, even in these modern (and IFRA-compliant) times IMHO, as this houses releases range from doing well to hitting it out of the proverbial park. I am often one of the first to lift my sophisticated nose and roll my erudite eyes when the word "flanker" is muttered. I am a hard-core lover of the original (dare I say, vintage?) Gentleman. Iconic as it is of its era while always oozing class alongside raw carnality, I feared for the worst when GentlemEn Only was released. It did the same and was the same; for its era. Delivering class, sophistication and even sensitivity while remaining utterly masculine and subtly sexy. Something in my gut (& nostrils tingling just thinking about it) tells me GOA EDP may just be numero uno!!! Are un parfum autentic, intens, dar nu foarte puternic. Din fericire, nu are un miros care sa te copleseasca sau care sa te enerveze, ci, din contra unul care iti face placere si te imbie cu note diverse, foarte aromate. Gentlemen Only Absolute is a new fragrance by Givenchy, which comes out in the summer of 2016. The fragrance is a rich Eau de Parfum version of the "Gentleman at his best." Gentlemen Only from 2013 represents a modern tribute to the classic Givenchy Gentlemen from 1974. It was followed by Gentlemen Only Intense in early 2014, Gentlemen Only Casual Chic in early 2015 and Gentlemen Only Parisian Break in early 2016.

Zaista, kako su ga i opisali, Absolute je "visokomodniji" od ostatka Džentlmena. Svojom dubinom dobija još jednu dimenziju u odnosu na kolege, uprkos malom broju nota deluje kompleksnije i snažnije, a u isto vreme prefinjenije. Mie imi plac in special acordurile condimentate, piperate pentru ca mi se pare ca fac din aceasta creatie, una foarte eleganta. Eleganta este elementul pe care il caut eu la un exemplar olfactiv. There's a shortcoming of course. Ambiguous rather than shortcoming. A sweet element that can never be said to be few. This sweet part is not very elaborate. I read some comments comparing GOA to 1 Million, and I don't agree with that, but I can fully understand that the assessment comes out anyway. This means that the sweetness of GOA is considered an ordinary cliché. So here's my conclusion: The use of scents and the age range of the main target of it are not clear. It is well-made enough, but it is a little old fashion for young people to wear, and it is too flat a sweet taste for mature adults to wear. At night time, GOA is certainly inferior to Herod, Mancera Red Tobacco, Spicebomb or so. It can only be a better choice than them in the office, but there are already many other good perfumes for the office. If you already have a few bottles of perfume, maybe there's almost no reason to include it in your collection. GOA's sweet type is yummy vanilla which reminds us of Givenchy Pi in part, with a soft and dark smoky flavor like a baked marshmallow. And I don't know why, but I sense some coffee. It may be a good factor for dark vanilla fans, but it gives me a younger impression too much.I am more than willing to sniff this and openly rejoice at the influx of Parfums and Eaux de Parfum on our side of the aisles for a change. I have samples and decants of many of the last few years modern more concentrated men's scents...but have yet to "pull the trigger" and spend real cash on one since VC&A's Midnight in Paris (bought EDP & EDT keeping the former and swapping the latter, minus a nice decant). Originalul Gentleman, care a implinit 41 de ani la lansarea versiunii Only Absolute, impresioneaza si astazi publicul masculin. Insa, de la un timp, acesta implora dupa o doza in plus de rafinament si originalitate, care sa il claseze printre preferatele publicului masculin contemporan. La aceasta cerinta isi propune sa raspunda Only Absolute prin calatoria sa olfactiva in peisajul Orientului, unde se straduieste sa descopere noi teritorii pigmentate cu note stralucitoare de scortisoara, nucsoara si sofran, oferind purtatorului sau o incursiune de neuitat in lumea araba.

Gentlemen Only Absolute, inspired by high fashion of the Givenchy house, is announced as the scent of contemporary refined and elegant men. The sensual oriental, woody and spicy composition tends to embody class, sophistication and style. Pungent, slightly metallic bergamot in the top is followed by the warm heart which contains a trio of spices: nutmeg, cinnamon and saffron. A sensual combination of sandalwood and vanilla wraps the base of the perfume. So, that was quite a lot for the bottle alone and that, although the bottle itself is not responsible for the fragrance and its course. So let's move on to what's probably the most interesting thing for all of us. Descris ca un parfum de seara prin prisma temperamentului sau oriental – picant – lemnos, desavarsit cu note proaspete de top si cu o baza invelita in acorduri cremoase, vanilice si misterioase, parfumul isi demonstreaza potenta in cadrul anotimpurilor reci. Totusi, daca o sa va indragostiti iremediabil de lichiorul catifelat incapsulat in noua sticluta a diviziei Gentlemen, va sfatuim sa il purtati dupa lasarea noptii. Absolutul de scortisoara deschide opera orientala, fiind urmat de praful uscat de nucsoara si de ploaia de sofran care invaluie atmosfera intr-o aroma divina, calda si usor picanta. Inima evoca un sentiment de caldura ce este prelungit cu maiestrie de baza parfumului Only Absolute. Aceasta prinde contur prin intermediul amestecului de vanilie si santal, cele doua creme delicioase fiind dispuse in straturi. Vanilia la suprafata, iar santalul mai aproape de piele.Este adevarat ca are un miros familiar, insa acest aspect nu il face mai putin bun. Imi place foarte mult si mi se pare ca brandul s-a intrecut pe sine. Dintre toate parfumurile dulci pe care mi le-am cumparat in ultimul timp (Azzaro Wanted, Eternity Now si One Million), acesta este cel mai bun.

As others have already mentioned, this piece is one of the Spicebomb types and features vivid and distinctive cinnamon. I'd like to add just how Gentlemen Only Absolute differs from competitors like Spicebomb, Bvlgari MIB, L'Occitane Eau des Baux, and etc. There is something like a vanilla-based creamy soapy water, and there is a coldness in the middle that almost feels metallic. Maybe Spicy Nutmeg. I really like this part. However, this soapy water is slightly old school, thus adding a mature vibe to the scent. I think GOA is too mature for people under 30. In search of a fragrance for the cold season of the year, it is almost impossible not to miss this bottle with its red accents. It doesn't always have to be a hand grenade, with which probably everyone here in the forum knows what to do and there doesn't always have to be an extravagant bottle form available, which focuses more on appearance than on being. After all, the appearance of the product is often the only consideration when it comes to buying a new product. Spicebomb Extreme by Viktor&Rolf is a good example. The fragrance is interesting and therefore has a certain buying power, but especially the bottle is probably the thing that contributes to the final decision for many less perfume enthusiasts.

Una peste alta, vreau sa va spun ca este o alegere buna, cel putin din punctul meu de vedere si tin sa mentionez ca o sa imi mai cumpar acest exemplar si cand se va termina. Not really boozy. So there is no impression of profligate or free-spiritedness. It is not as seductive or alluring as it is.
