Gentleman No. 4 Parfums Constantine, released in 2015, is officially considered a masculine fragrance, falling within the wood and water families. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, wood, and musk groups. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Brand country — Russia: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Gentleman No. 4 is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Parfums Constantine comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Lemon and Rosewood. Exactly these 4 notes build sunny vitality that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the central layer you detect Black Pepper, Sage, Tarragon and White Cedar carrying a noble herbal direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Spicy and Mineral enrich the profile without taking over.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Musk, Spicy, Wood and Citrus. The framework further includes Aromatic, Ambery and Aquatic.
In summary Gentleman No. 4 reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.
