Givenchy Play featuring Justin Timberlake

Givenchy Play

Surprisingly this is one of the few men’s fragrances from Givenchy that I’m not fond of. I wanted to like it, but unfortunately the Givenchy Play fails to pull me in. The scent is tolerable at best, reminiscent of a woodsy scent. However I’m a huge fan of Givenchy PI and Neo .

Givenchy Play comes in the following: Play 1.7 Eu de Toilette Spray($53.00), Play Eu de Toilette Spray 3.3 fl oz($71), and After Shave Lotion($45.00).

The new men’s fragrance from Givenchy is available at retail stores Dillard’s and Macy’s.

Prada Man and Infusion D’ Homme Review

Brandon Crittle — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:55:19 +0000

Prada has been a essential figure in the fashion world for decades now. Clothing, Accessories, and Fragrances-you name it Prada has made it successful. Recently the luxury brand released two new cologne for men: Infusion D’ Homme and Prada Man. Just right away you can differentiate between the two.

Infusion D' Homme by Prada

Infusion D’ Homme. Upon the first smell it’s very light. Instantly I was taken back at how wonderful it smelled. I’ve tested a lot of fragrances lately but, this has to be one of the best fragrances I’ve smelled in quite time. For those hesitant about the light airy aroma, don’t be. I think Infusion D’ Homme is perfect blend light and masculine.

Notes: Citrus and Wood

Prada Man

For guys that like fragrances with a more unique smell to them, I recommend Prada Man. Prada for Men has a very masculine scent, not too overbearing like some men’s fragrances.

Notes: Vanilla and SandalWood

I honestly can’t choose between the other because both fragrances have managed to make a long term impression on me. I give Prada credit for creating two great colognes for men. In my opinion, both Infusion D’ Homme and Prada Man have potential to become classic fragrances. If you’re serious need of an update in the fragrance department, then these two colognes are just what you need. Don’t miss out!

Infusion D’ Homme Gift Set :

3.4 oz. Eau De Toilette Spray
3.4 oz After Shave Balm

Prada Man Gift Set:

3.4 oz Eau De Toilette Spray
3.4 oz After Shave balm

Both fragrances can be purchased at Macys and Sephora

Fragrance Review: Givenchy Pi Neo

Brandon Crittle — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:29:13 +0000

While I was browsing the fragrance department at Macy’s, I came across a couple of designer fragrances. I sampled quite a few, but what really caught my attention was Givenchy PI Neo-the latest scent from the French brand.

Givenchy is also specialized cosmetics and highly noted as one the top brands in the fashion industry. The line has released countless of fragrances over the years: PI and Givenchy Gentlemen to name a few. I can tell you first hand that Givenchy PI Neo doesn’t disappoint. The theme behind Neo is space with a combination of futuristic and natural elements. What I like most about Givenchy PI Neo is the smell isn’t overbearing. When you first spray it doesn’t have the sweet vanilla aroma of it’s predecessors PI and Givenchy, but you there hints of it and you can tell right away, especially after the scent settles in for a bit.

With the Givenchy PI Neo your bound to get compliments from your special loved one-must have for your collection.

Ingredients: Toscanol, Myrtle, Patchouli, Mandarin, Bergamot, Myrrh and Cedar.

Avaliable In: 1.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray($52), 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray($69) 3.3 oz After Shave Lotion($45) 2.5 oz Perfumed Roll-On Deodorant ($18) and 1 oz Eau de Toilette Spray($39).
