We thought we knew everything about Justin Timberlake. He's made us dance to My Love and laugh on Saturday Night Live, fed us in his New York restaurants, dressed us in his clothing line, and, most importantly, made us jealous with his romances with Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel. But the question still remains: What does Justin Timberlake smell like?
Luckily, his latest turn places him as the face of Play, Givenchy's new eau de toilette. He's cast as the modern man on the go, be it in the studio, on a transatlantic flight or just looking fine while listening to his iPod.
The fragrance, which is available in regular and intense scents, comes in a 100-millilitre bottle that calls to mind a glass iPhone. Play hits you right away with top notes of bergamot and mandarin orange, then softens out with a middle note of Amyris wood. Base notes of labdanum and tonka bean give the intense scent an extra kick.
We doubt we'll ever become lady-killing jetsetters like Mr. JT, but Givenchy gives us some hope that we can wear a little of the Timberlake magic next time we hit the dance floor.
