Givenchy Gentleman Society EDP Ambree: Reviewing the New Amber Tobacco Scent

Inspired by the audacious spirit and grand lifestyle of Hubert de Givenchy, Gentleman Society Ambree unveils a new, captivating facet of the modern gentleman.

Launched in 2025 as part of the expanding Gentleman Society collection and crafted by perfumer Karine Dubreuil Sereni, Ambree is more than just a fragrance; it's an invitation to join a state of mind, a daring and inclusive community.

The campaign, fronted by Benjamin Clementine, reinforces this message of assertive individuality. If you're a man who embraces his passions, stands confidently in the spotlight, and seeks a scent that reflects his vibrant character, Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum Ambree is designed for you.

You are a modern man who values confidence, sensuality, and making a memorable impression. This fragrance is perfect for those who are drawn to warm, ambery scents with sophisticated depth and a touch of daring. If you want a perfume that feels both luxurious and assertive, this is it.

Think of the comforting richness of pipe tobacco mingled with smooth vanilla and warm spices, or the sophisticated aroma of a well-aged leather armchair in a room with a crackling fire.

It starts with a lively mix of fresh and spicy notes like juniper and nutmeg. The middle is where the unique character of the scent comes through, blending delicate floral hints with the grounding scent of different vetivers and creamy sandalwood. The lasting impression is a warm, inviting amber sweetness, with touches of cozy vanilla and a hint of tobacco for intrigue.

While Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum Ambrée has its own distinct personality, fans of fragrances with prominent tobacco, vanilla, or amber notes might find similarities with scents like Tom Ford Tobacco Oud (particularly in the tobacco facet) or Maison Margiela Jazz Club.

Within the Gentleman Society line, it shares the core Narcissus and Vetiver DNA with the original Gentleman Society Extreme, though Ambree leans warmer, sweeter, and more resinous due to the added amber, tobacco, and vanilla.

Some reviewers have noted that if you own other flankers, Ambree might feel somewhat similar, but many find its specific blend and the quality of the vanilla and tobacco notes to be unique and highly appealing. The Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Prive is also a well-regarded flanker in the line, offering a different but equally sophisticated take.

Fragrance Family: Woody, Floral, Ambery (also described as Oriental Woody)

Top Notes: Clary Sage essence, Juniper Berries essence (Croatia), Nutmeg essence (Indonesia)

Heart Notes: Orris Concrete (France), Narcissus Absolute (France), Quartet of Vetiver (Madagascar, Uruguay, and Haiti), Sandalwood essence, Organic (Australia)

Base Notes: Peru Balm essence, Tobacco Absolute (Bulgaria and South Africa), Tasuki Vanilla Absolute (Madagascar)

Expect impressive performance from Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum Ambree. On me it lasted all day, and even longer on my clothes. 

Reviews consistently highlight its longevity, with many experiencing it lasting around 9 hours and some even stating it lasts a full day or "forever." The sillage is described as moderate to strong – it has a noticeable presence that is sophisticated and alluring without being overwhelming, making it perfect for leaving a memorable trail (think "Passenger Seat" to "Bottom of stairs" sillage).

I'm a firm believer fragrance can and should be warn all year round. But if I had to be decisive, I would say, given its warm, ambery, and rich profile, my default would be to say Ambree is ideally suited for the cooler months of autumn and winter.

For me this is perfect for all day wear due to its bold scent and powerful longevity, but its sensual and captivating nature makes it a suarve choice for evening wear, particularly for date nights or special occasions where you want to exude confidence and charm.

The bottle retains the sleek and iconic structure of the Gentleman Society collection, a symbol of modern elegance.

For the Ambree version, it has a striking new gold 4G design on the front of the bottle, reflecting the fragrance's opulent and warmer,  spicier character.

This bold gold detailing against the deep black bottle creates a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic that looks exceptional display.
