Which givenchy play is better

Again, great great job Givenchy! I ended up buying both Play and Play Intense in 3. I love them both! Play Intense is uber gourmand on my skin… made me reach for extra pieces of Torrone last night. I quite like and enjoy this scent. The sillage is soft to moderate and it wears close to the skin so whomever is near has to come close to get a whiff. You can wear Givenchy Play year round, into the office without offending anyone and on the weekends; this is a very wearable scent.

I most definitely recommend this fragrance. They are both perfumes for young elegant boys :. You must be logged in to post a comment.

They want their fragrance name back.

Submitted by DonVanVliet , last update on Rate Collection Classify Notes. This is ok, for a low end synthetic. It is a citrus woodsy fragrance, that also seems to be powdery at times. This is the cheapest synthetic fragrance that I own. Mainly due to my better half. It is nice though. You can wear this wherever you want but you'll smell a 's mall kiosk after the salesperson sprays 6 different clearance price things on cards for you.

At least the sweetness and bits of floral peppery citrus make it feel more unisex than maybe it was meant to be. This is just before Givenchy "found itself" rebooting all its classics some for the second time and making an upmarket "niche" range to compete with Dior, you can expect these confused exercises where the fragrance feels perfumed by the marketing department, while the actual perfumers are ham-stringed on the painfully specific brief.

The packaging is the only cool thing, looking like one of those plastic earbud cases in a transparent pod-shape that was popular for fragrances in this decade since someone decided young people wanted their perfume to look like their gadgets. With how much hate the fragrance community had for this line when available, the last thing I expected was for everyone to do a and start singing its praises when it was axed in , but I underestimated the desperation to be relevant people have online.

It was suddenly "cool" to like Play because it's not made anymore even if it and its flankers was trash before, with people looking for clicks and subs on their online platforms talking up Givenchy Play like a missed opportunity. If this is you, then you deserve to get ripped off by eBay sellers just to buy one precious drop of clout on social media, because Givenchy Play is the fragrance equivalent of watching Vanilla Ice attempt to copy Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit but end up on reality TV for his efforts.

Thumbs down. Play - Givenchy Thinner and woodglue-like impressions. Watery lemon-orangey with a slight syprupy tang. Transparant woodsy. Very lightweight. Verdict: anorexia masculine. Constantine Show all reviews by Constantine. Starts off unbearably sweet and peppery then patchouli joins in and sweetness dials down without disappearing and there is some freshness but with paradoxical pepper which keeps on getting up your nose. Nothing playful about that. To be fair the offensive part dials down leaving you with a peppery sweet fresh fragrance which is not too bad.

But what a journey to get there and not very masculine. Similar but done much better is Dunhills Racing Green which is fresh without being sweet and slightly peppery. Good masculine daily wear and its one my wife came up to me and oooooo d at.

Great all day fragrance that doesn't offend the senses. Got my first sniff out of a magazine and had to buy the bottle TBuns Show all reviews by TBuns. I started my serious frag. Its light with lots of peppery citrus, sweet and very inoffensive.

Like many modern frags, it doesn't make a significant statement, at all. I give it a neutral even though I don't wear it anymore. I selected it from a large field of frag counter testers and took several learner steps with it. If you want a modern inoffensive peppery citrus and sweet frag it deserves a serious test.

If you want more character, keep looking. Funwithfrags Show all reviews by Funwithfrags. My main complaint isn't that it is not original - and it certainly smells the same as any number of modern designer efforts - but that it promises a lot more and doesn't deliver. Coffee, vetiver, tobacco? All absent to my nose. The end result is that GP lacks any hint of a backbone to prop it up, none of those "stronger" ingredients that provide a worthwhile base.

It wishes. Acidic orange citrus opening with pleasant hints of spice. The later stages are characterised by a synthetic-generic light flowery concoction topped of with some patchouli - the end is rather dull and inglorious. I get moderate sillage, adequate projection and five hours if longevity on my skin. Mediocre at best. Sly2scents Show all reviews by Sly2scents. Bitter orange and grapefruit is beginning to be in more and more designer fragrances nowadays, well at least the ones I like.

My only complaint with this fragrance is the projection but it does garner compliments. This is a useful scent. Great for graduations, a friend's wedding or a job interview. The "playful" mp3 bottle design doesn't match the fairly classy juice but I appreciate an attempt at a different design. The marketing didn't match the juice either. Compared to, for example CK Eternity, it's not as serious or mature but good for similar situations.

I wouldn't wear this everyday or a night out but I will definitely buy this. I know that his does not get a good deal of love here, and is viewed a overly synthetic and generic, but I think its a pleasing smell with a hint of sensuality. Light enough for summer, but with enough warm for winter; this is a good all around sent for me. It does lack depth and complexity; it is not a challenging sent. Still, it is one of the view that my wife and I both like we have very different fragrance tastes , so it remains a constant in my closet and my go to "date night" fragrance.

I have rated this a 4, which frankly, is a reach. As much as my wife loves the small, I enjoy it, but there is just zero projection. I need to spay it until the cows come, which frankly makes it not a good value. Pros: Warmth, good longevity Cons: lacks complexity. Possum-Pie Show all reviews by Possum-Pie. Grapefruit, pepper, vetiver I don't get how a nose could combine the same tired notes over and over, and put a different name to it.
