Givenchy Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum Extrême is
a bold, modern flanker launched in 2024 that infuses a dark iced coffee accord with a smooth, powdery iris and rich woody undertones. Crafted by perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni, it builds upon the original 2023 Gentleman Society DNA by introducing a sharper, more contrast-heavy combination of cool aromatic top notes and deep gourmand elements. It is highly regarded as a classy, luxurious cold-weather staple.
The Scent Profile
The fragrance is classified as a Woody Floral Spicy blend structured in three distinct layers:
- Top Notes: An immediate, invigorating burst of ice-cold peppermint, clary sage, and warm nutmeg.
- Heart Notes: A sophisticated combination of coffee extract absolute, iris concrete, French narcissus (daffodil), and a complex multi-vetiver quartet.
-
Base Notes: A smooth, lasting dry-down of Madagascar vanilla absolute, Australian sandalwood, patchouli, and Himalayan cedarwood.
