GivenchyPlay Intense by Givenchy for Men - 3.3 Ounce EDT Spray

I blind bought this due to a recommendation by someone and wasn't disappointed. When I first took the cap off and smelled it, I'll admit that I didn't enjoy the scent at first. The real magic is after you've sprayed it on your skin and let it dry for a few minutes. When I first smelled it before spraying, I thought it smelled very strong and pungent. Like an extremely ripe fruit or something. After I sprayed it on my skin though, it's like it became a completely different (and enjoyable) scent. It smells very fresh, sweet, and almost feminine in a way. The pink pepper definitely stands out, along with a hint of coffee. This could definitely pass as a uni-sex cologne, but don't let that put you off! I've always opted for the more aquatic and masculine colognes, so this was a radical departure for me. I wasn't disappointed.The longevity is great on this cologne. It also projects very well, so no need to spray more than 3-4 times on your body.All in all, this cologne wasn't what I expected, but I'm definitely not disappointed. If anything, it exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend this cologne enough!

What can I say that hasn't already been expressed in this title?? This cologne is AMAZING, if you're looking to leave a lasting impression on anyone you encounter, go with this. It's a very sophisticated scent with a subtle sweetness. I originally purchased this cologne right when it came out from my local mall for $92.00, and it was well worth it... It smells exactly like what a $92.00 cologne SHOULD smell like. It comes in a decently sized bottle as well. Over the course of about a year, I completely used up the contents of the bottle. It was only recently that I was browsing Amazon and found that the same cologne was going for HALF THE PRICE ($46.00!?!?!?!?!). Boy, let me tell you, I couldn't click the "Add to Cart" button fast enough. I just received my bottle today, and it's that same brilliant stuff. I've been reading some of the other comments that say the cologne they received wasn't authentic... I guarantee you that mine IS. My cologne specifically came from [...] retailer. I've got other colognes from them, so they're really the only one's I trust.HOPE THAT HELPS GUYS :)-Brian C.

I've used this cologne for quite some time now. I was introduced to it at a random perfume/cologne store in a mall. Some guy really knew his stuff and one thing lead to another and I bought it and loved it.There is no effective way to describe this other than a sweet smelling product. It is perhaps more of a "going out" cologne rather than an everyday smell good cologne, if that makes sense. It doesn't last 16 hours. It does last long enough to make some good impressions though.I bought this product from Amazon and not another seller due to the whole "fake product" issue. At a price that was still cheaper than in stores, I decided I would rather pay 7-8 more dollars to ensure I am getting the real product from Amazon rather than a fake one from a random seller I knew nothing about.

REAL impressed with Play Intense... I am addicted to Play Original, and looking for one to compete with it, this I think will take a very close second, though... but seriously, something tells me that over time, it is going to take first, and very happy I chose the large spray instead of the small, wish I would have done the same with Play. Bought on amazon and just delivered today, I probably should wait a few days and use it some more till I make a review, but already it has me hooked. Bought on Amazon, I saved a great amount and it is the same scent I got turned on to through a retailer.... REAL glad I bought it here, I would say try Play before trying Intense... both are absolute winners, Givenchy has made me a newfound fragrance addict, lol... great stuff!

I wanted to rate this 1 star so that other people wouldn't buy it and then it'd be more rare, but I just can't do it. This is a really great cologne and I like the bottle form factor a lot since it makes traveling with it much easier. There isn't a lot of excess bulk plus the flatter design allows for easy transport in my shaving bag. I won't go in to the scent itself since its been done to death already. Plus I feel that if you're considering this cologne, you've smelled it elsewhere and already know it. And furthermore, reading about a smell is a lot like reading about a food. You can't fully understand it until you've tried it yourself.

i love givenchy brand perfumes i use to be addicted to givenchy blue label 35% of ppl around me come and ask whats this perfume this one its either fake or this is the way its i do 10 spray at least and walk out and my wife doesnt even notice it at work i ask my friend can u smell my perfume and he asks what perfume lol its nothing compared to the crazy nice smell i got from givenchy blue label its nice to have on but no one will smell it other than u after 10 minutes i wish they just start making blue lable again :(
