Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel Eau de Toilette

Smart service!! The playfulness of this perfume is astonishing! It is definitely pleasant to wear. Long-lasting and smoothly changing notes, it is unusual... Cloudy... Tempting... Reading about it is a pleasure in itself... Pleasantly surprised... Thank you sincerely for the heartfelt makeup...

Thank you for the fast delivery of my order. It was a pleasant surprise to find a gift from the website in the box.

I purchased this fragrance based on the description of its pyramid and bottle design. I was really curious to see what I could get for a reasonable price. And I have to say, it impressed me. Not just impressed, but I often prefer it over other more outstanding and expensive perfumes. Some people mentioned that it is both complex and simple, and I agree with that. The pyramid is quite intricate, but the scent, while not simple, has a composition that is mostly bitter and mossy, creating a sensation as if it is all about pine needles, moss, and dampness. But I like it. That's its uniqueness. However, over time it becomes a bit blurry and takes on a mass-market tone.

For me, it is a rough version of Hermes "Gentiane Blanche" without the playfulness and shimmer, but like an oxygen pillow - you can keep inhaling it. Personally, it calms and soothes me, although it might irritate others. But to make a fair judgment, you need to sniff it more than once or twice. It's a masculine scent of freshness, purity, and meditation. It frees the mind from negative thoughts. Absolutely for those who enjoy rough, brutal scents. Not for children. It is quite long-lasting.

I bought it for a change, but I made a mistake. The perfume is very mature for a 60-year-old. It reminded me of when I used to go to the hair salon and they would spray cologne from big bottles after a haircut. But the scent is not bad. People from a previous era will like it.

Grey Flannel, I bought it based on the reviews of a perfume blogger, and for me, it's not at all Eastern, but a pure classic. At first, there is a sharp mossiness, and then a slightly dusty violet note. It smells like aristocrats. It is very well put together. Respect to the makeup.

This fragrance is like a breath of purity. I wear it with immense pleasure. When I'm tired from the rush of cleaning and other heavy artillery, this perfume is simply a savior. It brings a sense of calmness and confidence for the days ahead.

I was choosing a fragrance as a gift and relied on the comments. The majority of people wrote incredibly enthusiastic reviews, while the rest compared this perfume to the distant USSR, soap, and pine needles. When we received this fragrance, my loved one and I decided to test it before giving it as a gift. We sprayed it on a cork stopper and, honestly, we were horrified. The long-lasting scent of pine, a mix of flowers, and a nostalgic childhood memory, a grandmother's scent in a cupboard. There was a moment of disappointment, but then we decided to try it on our skin. And here I was very surprised; the first spray gave a sharp scent of a pine forest, but not as overpowering as on the stopper. We waited for about five minutes, and the fragrance began to unfold its charm. The pine changed into violet. It seemed like a masculine fragrance with violet, but it revealed itself wonderfully. The sharp notes disappeared, and what remained was a truly amazing scent, unique, expensive, and worthy, like a suit. Definitely, this fragrance is not for young boys. Before buying it, it's better to smell this fragrance, as not everyone will appreciate all of its charm, but I took a risk and did not regret it. The result of this purchase was a satisfied birthday person, and I ordered this fragrance for my significant other.

I'm not sure about the East, it's more like an English gentleman - quite original, although, as you can see, also classic. The scent itself is niche, but in terms of longevity and average development, it does lean towards mass-market. Not bad for a collection.

On the SCENTDIRECT website, Grey Flannel is described as a "Chypre" fragrance, and that is exactly right. At the start, it is a clone of Sisley's Eau de Campagne. If you were to test it with your eyes closed, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. After about four minutes, a mossy herbal explosion surrenders to a nocturnal, YES! YES! It is the scent of a blooming violet in the cool night, filled with the smells of the earth and grass resting from the heat. In the drydown, the same violet remains, supported by vetiver and iris. In the sillage, though Grey Flannel doesn't really have a sillage, it creates an aromatic cloud that exudes a confident and alluring aura of a freshly washed and healthy body. This joy lasts for 6 to 8 hours, depending on the temperature. Moisture (rain, snow) awakens it, while dry environments with temperatures above 20 degrees intensify and monotone the violet. Summer is not the season for this fragrance. Late autumn, winter, early spring, and rainy summer evenings are perfect for it. The scent is stylish and, if I may say so, casual. It doesn't require a strict suit, but a white element in your outfit would be desirable. Grey Flannel is a very elegant perfume.

Service - excellent!!!
Perfume - amazing!!!
It definitely doesn't leave anyone indifferent. Choosing blindly or based on reviews is a personal responsibility, as it was for me this time. But I didn't make a mistake!
The scent is complex and simple at the same time! If you delve into human physiology a little, it will surely become clear why it is always different.
My bottle doesn't have a sprayer. Everything is authentic, masculine!
Thank you sincerely, Make Up!
