I tried it in-store: a very fresh, citrusy opening with dominant ginger and spice notes. Later, it resembles the Original, keeping that fresh touch of soft woods and spices. Somewhere along the lines, it reminds me of Dior H S. I’m not sure if it’s worth it: it lasts, but only on the skin. For spring or daytime, it’s not bad, but…
I like this version of Only Gentleman: fresher than previous ones, yet it retains part of its essence. It gained freshness with mint, cardamom, ginger, juniper and lavender, though it lost the earthy base of patchouli and incense. It keeps the woody touch of birch, sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, with a shy hint of vanilla, coumarin and geranium. The best part is its dry-down: it lasts about seven hours with a moderate but annoying trail. It seems usable all year round, reminiscent of L’Homme Libre, and deserves a try.
I absolutely love this version of Only Gentleman; it’s much fresher than the previous ones while retaining the soul of its older sibling. It has raised the freshness level with mint, cardamom, ginger, juniper and lavender, although the earthy base of patchouli and the hint of incense have been dropped. What it does keep is the woody base of birch, sandalwood, vetiver and cedar; the vanilla, coumarin and geranium are noticeable but very subtly. What really caught my attention is its dry-down: it lasts about seven hours with a moderate trail, present but not intrusive. It seems suitable for any season and smells a bit like L’homme Libre. I recommend it for a try!
Everything is very well integrated. It’s an interesting fragrance, although to be honest, I don’t think it’s very suitable for me.
Excellent for daytime, but I was disappointed by the longevity; it barely lasts three hours. Good combination of ingredients, I recommend trying it, though it doesn’t make my top five.
Exquisite, versatile and comfortable for any weather. It shifts from citrus to woody, with a base reminiscent of soft incense and sweet seeds. Longevity is around five hours.
Like the Original, I found it boring and suffocating, but Casual Chic is a different story: not divine, yet brilliant, fresh and addictive, with that Givenchy vibe. Strong notes of ginger (I thought it was tangerine), juniper and an incredible sandalwood. They’re somewhat similar, but that citrus note saves it. It lasts well and leaves a trail; I’ll definitely be buying this one this summer.
Like the Original, I found it boring and stifling, but Casual Chic is a different story. It’s not divine, yet it’s bright, fresh and addictive, with that Givenchy air.

The opening scared me a little; too many fresh orange and citrus notes. With the dry-down came the positive surprise: touches of wood and very pleasant spices appeared, in the line of classics from the early 90s, and it stayed that way for several hours. I think it is a very balanced fragrance with a very good, fresh, and summery aroma, but without a doubt masculine and with its retro point in the dry-down. The huge problem is that it stays almost from the beginning close to the skin. It does hold, it is possible to notice it several hours later, but at a negligible volume level, which does not do justice to the quality of the composition. In its effort not to bother, it is like that handsome but shy type who doesn’t take over the world because he doesn’t dare to stand out. Despite everything, it’s not bad. Note: 7.5.
Casual Chic is more like the Original than the Intense: fresh, summery or mid-season, and quite balanced with many notes. The exception is one note that stands out after 20 minutes and can be slightly off-putting at times (I believe it’s coumarin). It’s not overpowering, it didn’t make me discard it, and I still find it pleasant. Personally, I prefer the other two in the line: although they share the cedar-fir duo that gives them character, in my opinion, this Casual Chic gets lost in a mix of very different notes that, while balanced, dilute its personality. Scent: 6.5/10. Projection: 6/10. Longevity: 6/10. Versatility: 8/10.
Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is more like the Only straight than the Only Intense, meaning it is fresh, summery, or mid-season and quite balanced to have a good quantity of notes given today’s perfumery. The exception to this balance of such disparate notes is a note that starts to stand out after about twenty minutes and makes the fragrance slightly repulsive at times (I calculate it is the coumarin). This negative point is not serious; it didn’t make it unviable. I still consider it a pleasant fragrance. However, personally, I prefer the previous two mentioned from the Only line because although all three share the cedar-birch duo that gives them their essence and identifies them so much, and I particularly like it, this Casual Chic instead of combining it with patchouli or some other stronger note of the style, in my opinion, gets lost in an identity of very different notes which, while balanced, dissipate their personality. Scent: 6.5/10 Projection: 6/10 Longevity: 6/10 Versatility: 8/10
A curious opening without pure citrus. I note the ginger, juniper, and mint. I like it very much how it smells. Afterwards, it becomes more woody and sweetens a little. Moderate longevity, moderate trail. For spring, summer, and day.
I am fascinated by this Givenchy perfume, much more than the Gentlemen; it is almost equal in quality, though the scents are very different. It is a very aromatic fragrance with spices, woods, and some citrus, even if not listed, a very particular aroma as it is one of those that women won’t forget and conveys many things to the mind. It is comforting, subtle but with excellent fixation, fulfilling, balanced, long-lasting but not with high projection, rather moderate. A great option for offices, outings, for casual or formal wear, it is very versatile. If I were you, if I wanted to try a Givenchy perfume, these two must be the first: this one and the Gentleman, without doubt, but in terms of age, this is for 20-30s and the other for 50 and above. Its aroma moves from a fresh opening to woody and finally becomes sweet with vanilla and coumarin; it really surprised me completely. Very satisfied with this purchase, one of those that you repeat. I will add a contribution: curiously, all perfumes that carry woods, lavender, mint, and vanilla turn out to be very seductive like this one, as well as those with pepper.
Delicious, fresh, clean, and energising. Like all the Givenchys, it is of excellent quality, with good longevity and a moderate, non-invasive trail. I see it as good for a summer morning, for the beach, after sport… and for little more. I’m sorry, I don’t think it is very versatile. Of course, I wouldn’t use it for the evening or a romantic night out.
Fresh and invigorating. It is one of the most underrated in the spring/summer range. I don’t know if it’s because it’s a flanker of another flanker or due to bad reviews on some YouTube channels. Personally, I find it fresh, citrusy, woody, leathery, and a little sweet, all combined. Givenchy Gentlemen Only Casual Chic opens with a strong explosion of ginger and juniper, which give it splendid freshness alongside mint; lavender adds cleanliness before moving to a sublime dry-down where amber, vanilla, and cedar stand out. All for one and one for all is the maximum expression of this fragrance, where the notes are perfectly blended. It is different from all the citrus scents available at these temperatures. Every fragrance has a catch, and in this case, it is its trail, which is very soft. For personal enjoyment. If you are looking for a fresh, sweet, woody, non-abrasive EDT for daytime summer use that is completely different, this is a very good option. Cheers to everyone!
Casual Chic is a day fragrance that, for now, offers rich flashes of ginger, but the sweetness of the vanilla gives it a more versatile touch, although not for the evening. I don’t know if anyone agrees that it carries a bitter orange note similar to Hugo Iced, however, it doesn’t last long. What can you expect from a summer-cut perfume? Of course there are exceptions, but this isn’t one. I like it but it doesn’t entirely convince me.
It would need to be tested in heat and applied well, with several sprays on its own. I tried mixing it with others, but given its character, it’s not the most suitable because it’s a little flat. With so many votes for birch, I expected something more smoky and woody, but the truth is it stays fresh, partly due to a gentle mint note which suits it perfectly. The rest are woods, spices, and ambroxan (fortunately not in the Sauvage style)… as I said, rather abstract and soft for everyday wear. It’s that kind of perfume where, if it smells good, you wish it had a bit more character. It performs only moderately.
This fragrance can be summed up in one word: Warm Spring. I love it, but I must say that its longevity and trail are very weak.
For me, it simply smells incredible. It has given me top-tier results. Perhaps it doesn’t break the mould with a nuclear projection, but it certainly does what is needed and leaves a mark wherever you go. I’ve noticed it even after twelve hours, and people have complimented it many times. It’s one of my favourites; I recommend it wholeheartedly.
To me, it’s simply an exquisite fragrance. I’ve had excellent results: perhaps it doesn’t project in a brutal way, but it does enough to be noticeable, and people can tell where I’ve been. I’ve even been noticed after 12 hours and have received several compliments. It’s one of my favourites and I highly recommend it.
This fragrance is very rich. While it’s not a beast in projection, it has the vibe of all the Givenchy Gentleman Only scents (spicy, fresh). It has quite good longevity, is sensual and captivating, though discreet. More than ideal for romantic outings, casual meet-ups with friends, the gym, or the office. It’s fresh, spicy, and elegant; but above all, supremely versatile.
Hard to find as it’s discontinued; if you can get it for no more than $90, it’s worth it. Similar to Chanel’s ‘Egoïste’, as it brought back that memory. I looked up its ingredients and comparing them, they share five notes in their DNA: lavender, geranium, cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood. Not counting the variables between these ingredients, there’s juniper instead of rosemary and amber instead of vanilla. The striking similarity is obvious, though the ginger gives it another twist, creating a jovial, youthful, and daytime aroma. RECOMMENDED.
I bought this fragrance two years ago with high expectations, as the Gentleman line was catching my attention at the time. The first impression was of an elegant and seductive fragrance, ideal for a charming and jovial man. Unfortunately, I must say that the longevity is very poor. What a pity.
An exquisite fragrance, fresh, clean, it earns compliments, smells like fine perfume; the quality of its ingredients is noticeable. If it lasted longer and projected more, it would be spectacular.
A very fresh, clean perfume for daily use, non-invasive, ideal for the office. It withstands heat well if applied sparingly, good projection, but… it smells like a cheap shampoo called Alert. It’s already discontinued, and if you think you missed out on a jewel, the truth is you didn’t, although one must be aware that very few perfumes seek to innovate.
When I was told it wouldn’t be available again, I bought four 100ml bottles; that says it all. I loved this perfume and the Gentleman Only line in general. A super fresh, modern scent for the masculine image of that era. The notes of juniper, ginger, mint, and woods gave a rich freshness. There are surely a thousand similar scents, but I never found an alternative that delivered what this one did. I hope they relaunch it or something similar appears, because for me, it was a magnet for compliments.

I often say that some fragrances shine because they’ve been discontinued. In the case of Only the Gentlemen, I feel they weren’t fair to it; I’m not sure how well it was received, but judging by its performance, it couldn’t have been much. Today, worse ‘waters’ sell for higher prices. Created by Jean Jacques, director of Caron, it’s one of the compositions where I’ve most enjoyed the ginger: vibrant, fresh, almost citrusy, dominating the opening and energising, with no real spice or heat. The cardamom, which I usually can’t stand, is masked by birch and juniper berries, giving it a green, woodland character, not particularly deep. Gradually, the cleanliness of lavender emerges, with mint and geranium, leading to a woody dry-down of cedar and sandalwood, softened by vanilla and coumarin. It’s versatile, chic, and all-rounder (except in cold weather), with a 90s touch and a hidden ambroxan that modernises it. It performs quite well, though with moderate sillage; it’s that kind of pleasant fragrance with which you can use 15 sprays without overwhelming anyone.
Simply put, it’s a jewel in perfumery. I don’t know how they managed to create something like this. 1000 x 1000.
A rich, cheerful, and versatile scent. It has a distinctive touch with a certain 90s vibe. It’s a real treat to wear; it doesn’t overwhelm you or those around you. Performance is typical for a designer brand. In short, a pleasant and enjoyable perfume that fulfils its purpose without being a ‘head-turner’.
One of the best ginger-based fragrances I’ve ever tried. Fresh, spicy, and utterly delightful. If you enjoy ginger, you’ll adore this. Suitable for any occasion and of exceptional quality.
