Justin Timberlake Is the Face of Play

Everything Justin Timberlake touches seems to turn to gold. He’s got a can’t-miss combination of talent, looks, and cool that help to keep him continually in the forefront of the entertainment industry. Now, he’s the face of Givenchy’s new male fragrance Play.

I got a sample of Play today. The bottle is reminiscent of a mp3 player. Cute. The fragrance is fruity, but not too sweet. It has a sandalwood quality to it, but that’s not one of the notes.

It smells clean, without smelling like soap. It’s made for men and I intended to give it to my boyfriend, but I think I’m keeping this sample for myself. There’s nothing about the scent that screams MEN. It’s just very nice, one of those scents you want to keep sniffing. I really like it a lot.

Top note: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Bitter Orange, Grapefruit
Middle note: Amyris Wood, Black Pepper, Coffee Flower
Base note: Vetiver, Patchouli

It’s also available in a Play Intense version. I didn’t get a chance to smell this one, but the notes sound good. It’s a woody oriental.

Top note: Bergamot, Mandarin
Middle note: Amyris Wood, Pink Pepper, Coffee Flower
Bottom note: Labdanum, Tonka Bean, Vetiver, Patchouli

Both Playfragrances are available in an Eau de Toilette. They launched this month, August 2009, and you can find them at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, and Sephora.
