I would have to disagree with the gourmand part and it smelling anything like Angel men at all, but when I sprayed it on my skin I got a very repulsive synthetic smell like some kind of bean for the first 10-15 mins then it dries down into almost an aquatic spicy musk similar to Azzaro Bright Visit if you've smelled that before. Very pleasant and nice smelling after the initial 5-10 mins, Does anyone else get that ..?
Yaaay :D thanks for the reviews! These are going to be very usefull for me when i dont know what to get for my boyfriend :P I gonna go check out your PI review afterwards, i got it for him for our 1 year anniversary, it's his favourite but i was also curious about what other men think of it....haha so anyway, byebye ;)
This to me was Givenchy's attempt at trying to have thier own Angel for men, and didn't pull it off. Starts out like a gourmand, but the dry down is just a stale or smell like a cologne that has gone bad because it was left in the heat, smells very cheap in the dry down.
@morninggreen1976 Like I said, this was Givenchy's first try at a gourmand. Was it successful at being a gourmand? I'm not sure. Was it successful in sales? It isn't at any discounters and is still for sale isn't it? I can see where you're coming from about the dry down but it's one of those things that you tend to think on your first impression and work on it until someone tells you otherwise, vis-a-vis, Armani Code smelling like Dr Pepper or this like Tootsie Rolls :)
@959lover Well Thierry Muglers Pure Malt is getting re-releaded this sept. Spoke to the head office in Quebec and it is officially getting brought back this fall. So will be looking forward to this Gourmand as I missed it when it was initially released. Do you have review on this one? Great reviews take care
I really liked this when it first hits the skin. I get a strong chocolate, but sweet. I can see how you get tootsi rolls. But the dry down I didn't like. It smells really cheap to me in the dry down, like a really low grade cologne. Wass going to buy it for the initial spray, but was glad I didn't because the dry down was really disapointing to me and like I said it smelled really cheap
Dude you are so hilarious i swear. If i knew you i would be laughing my ass off so hard. Thats awesome man i love your reviews it puts me in a good mood.... Great Review
Hey Dave, I have Rochas Man but haven't had a side by side comparison. Maybe after my current project at work, I can dedicate some side by side time of the two. Seems like a great video idea, thanks!
@davie753 Very Irresistible smells like a harsh Rochas Man for the first few minutes(probably the MOCHA) then it dies down. The rest of the scent smells NOTHING like Rochas Man.
damn bro do you braid your hair? you should braid it, i wish i had your hair, i have straight hair and it was a bitch when it was long i used to braid it all the time definately a "lady getter"..
Bro, i'm actually really considering getting my hair cornrowed... I found a place, but I'm trying to figure out a design I'll like. Knowing me though, if I do it it won't be until maybe May lol. I sometimes take a long time making decisions. hahahah.
Amazing review! Love all the huge amount of details and right-to-the-point thoughts on the fragrance. lol I'll have to definitely check this one out the next time I head out.. Since I am a pretty big gourmand lover.
I appreciate the comment, because I see that's something I should really pay attention to when I am reviewing a fragrance, if it smells synthetic or not.
the dry down smell more like cocoa butter

I don't know if you tried rochas man, but if you did, how would you compare very irresistible to rochas man?

Rochas is much better IMO...

Great Video Ashkan
I retested this and tried to get it, but i don't...
Unfortunately i like most of Givenchy scents But "Very Irresistible" synthetic blend failed to impress me.
bottle is very beautiful but the juice is very lacking in harmony.
Keep it up man....
