Powdery, Woody, Sweet, but Not My Speed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product for my honest review. The entire Givenchy Gentleman line has been known for powdery Iris notes, and while Gentleman Society doesn't have Iris officially listed as a note (that I know of) you can still definitely pick up on a powdery aspect, especially in the opening. I also get a good amount of woods in the opening as well. The fragrance is ok to my nose, but it isn't really my speed. To me, it can become a little overwhelming with the type of sweetness the fragrance has combined with the powdery aspects. It isn't a bad fragrance by any means. It smells good, and while it isn't groundbreaking or super unique, it will probably garner compliments. I would recommend this fragrance for someone who is only looking to have 2-3 versatile fragrances to cover everything. If you have a large fragrance collection this probably won't interest you very much.

Smells nice but not unique
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really nice crowd pleasing scent. Great opening and dry down but mostly linear throughout. This is not a unique scent but will definitely get you compliments as it has that typical crowd pleasing smell.

Amazing Item
Every note in this perfume is perfect. It's a very clean and elegant blend. I wear it to work everyday and 98% of the time I get different people asking me what I'm wearing because they say it smells so good. I was outside talking to a friend and a lady walked up to me and had to know what I was wearing bc she could smell it 100ft away. It's amazing and I can not stop wearing it!!!
