Gentleman No. 4
Geared toward men seeking an uncomplicated daily scent, Gentleman No. 4 presents an approachable balance of crisp citrus, fresh spice, and dry woods. The composition works best for casual weekend outings, quick office shifts, or post-gym refreshing during spring and summer months. Its blend of tart lemon, herbal sage, and white cedar extract delivers an instant cooling effect without lingering too heavily in enclosed spaces. Because community feedback points to shorter longevity, this fragrance suits anyone who prefers reapplying throughout the afternoon or desires a polite scent that never overwhelms bystanders. It is an affordable, easygoing option when heavy resins feel like too much.

EDITORIAL“Parfums Constantine Gentleman No. 4 Fragrance Review and Wear Guide”
Gentleman No. 4 by Parfums Constantine introduces itself with an energetic splash of crisp lemon and juicy bergamot. A touch of cardamom and sweet palisander rosewood rounds out the citrus sharpness, preventing the opening from feeling overly acidic or synthetic. The initial impression is bright, clean, and immediately invigorating, resembling a chilled citrus tonic on a warm morning.
Within fifteen to twenty minutes, the opening sparkle recedes into an herbal heart led by aromatic tarragon, dry sage, and a prickly kick of pepper. White cedar extract provides a sturdy woodiness that keeps these culinary herbs well grounded. As the top fades further, the base reveals a soft, comforting layer of musk, warm amber, and earthy saffron alongside mixed woody notes, giving the dry-down a subtle, powdery cleanliness.
Across its lifespan, the composition moves predictably through its accords, beginning with dominant citrus before yielding to fresh spicy and aromatic textures. The zesty lemon accords project outward with vigor during the first few minutes, but they quickly yield to the warm spicy center. By the second hour, the scent has pulled in tightly to the skin, lingering as a delicate musky cedar veil with faint saffron warmth.
Performance is where expectations must remain grounded in community data. Community votes indicate that longevity is primarily weak, with three out of four wearers recording only one to two hours, and just one person reporting moderate duration. Sillage is voted as moderate by four contributors and intimate by one. Because projection drops off rapidly, this scent is best suited for quick morning errands, casual gym wear, or brief daytime meetings where polite projection is desired.
This fragrance suits men who appreciate lightweight, easygoing colognes for high heat and casual spring days. It functions well as a non-intrusive option for shared spaces or warm afternoons when dense colognes feel overwhelming. Conversely, collectors looking for an all-day office scent, prominent sillage, or complex resinous character should skip it, as the fleeting formula will disappoint those who expect longevity.
Overall, Gentleman No. 4 offers an enjoyable, refreshing combination of zesty citrus, kitchen herbs, and dry cedar at a budget-friendly price. While the weak performance means you will need to reapply regularly throughout the day, it remains an agreeable, uplifting companion for warm weather leisure.

Gentleman No. 4 shares a very similar style with fresh aromatic woody scents like Versace Man Eau Fraiche. Both feature a crisp lemon, rosewood, and cedar combination.

Is Gentleman No. 4 a good blind buy?+
