i think I will buy this in Intense for my 17 years old son. Along with Bulgari’s Homme Soir which I find extremely atractive and gourmand ! They are both perfumes for young elegant boys )

I quite like and enjoy this scent. Givenchy Play starts with a sweet-citrus aroma [but not cloyingly sweet], then morphs quickly into a plastic-y, sweaty accord [but don't be put-off by the latter description, it's actually rather nice] finally the dry down is soft, powdery, woodsy and musky with the sweetness amped up a little more but still without being cloying. This fragrance reminds one of being in a barbershop; it’s a soft sweet masculinity that is musky enough to attract the ladies. The sillage is soft to moderate and it wears close to the skin so whomever is near has to come close to get a whiff. You can wear Givenchy Play year round, into the office without offending anyone and on the weekends; this is a very wearable scent. I most definitely recommend this fragrance. A MUST BUY!!!

Play Intense is uber gourmand on my skin… made me reach for extra pieces of Torrone last night.

I ended up buying both Play and Play Intense in 3.3 oz bottles yesterday! I can’t get enough of either of them! I didn’t like the Play when I sprayed it on paper, but when I sprayed it on my skin…..MMMMMMM! I love them both!

Play Intense has such an amazing lasting power! Ive never experienced such great lasting power from an EDT! Its really wonderful! Its another one i really want! Im really lovin the scent and the fact that it lasts and lasts is a huge plus in my book! Nice job Givenchy! O and i only sprayed a tiny bit on myself at Macys today and it really outlasted everything else i tried! Again, great great job Givenchy!

Dear God, as if the original Play wasn’t ordinary enough, they’ve gone and made an Intense version? Have these people got no friends who will tell them that it wasn’t that good in the first place?

Rappleyea: thank you…I hope some day that image of l’il Giorgio fades (that’ll probably happen the day Bois d’Encens isn’t so over priced)

I agree that it is unfortunate when a celebrity devalues a fragrance. There has been a collective sigh of relief now that Hilary’s contract has ended. Ewan McGregor is another one that makes me cringe for Davidoff. But I suppose it’s all a matter of personal taste, just like what we prefer in scents. Justin was SO much cuter when he was dating Britney. He shaved and had hair on his head. I’ve not been enamored of him of late, however, I must say that his stints on SNL have been some of the best stuff on that show in years. He is obviously a very talented guy: he sings, dances, acts, has a fashion line. Too bad he isn’t attractive.
