The essence of an Eastern man is perfectly encapsulated in Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel eau de toilette, whose external allure captivates the imagination of the fairer sex. Black hair, large green eyes, tanned skin, and natural charisma inspire admiration.
At times, the temptation is so great that it's impossible to resist, and natural instincts compel one to take notice. His art of subtle manipulation and playing with every fiber of his being reveals him as a seasoned hunter, eager to win a woman's favor.

The fragrance's composition primarily highlights woody shades and extracts of natural oils bestowed by the unique nature of the East.

I have 240 mg of this water. What can I say... an unusual aroma for a low price, and the final revelation of it... soap. Just soap. So now this soap will be stored in the cupboards.
This is a cologne with a spray nozzle made from toilet water (according to the barcode).
I really liked the fragrance. It is authentic. I bought it as a gift, but ended up keeping it for myself. Thank you, Makeup!
It caused symptoms of food poisoning. I have never experienced anything more foul-smelling in my life. And yes, it is very persistent - I struggled for a long time to get rid of this horror.
I bought this product solely based on reviews and descriptions. Honestly, I didn't guess the final scent, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would say it smells unusual, strange, but still pleasant. I can't even compare it to something modern. I stop sensing it myself after an hour or two, but people around me can still smell it after 12 hours. Clothes still smell after a couple of days.
Conclusion: The scent is subjective, but for this price, it's excellent.
Cologne for Grandpas 90+. I threw it out the next day.
I will add a review about my impressions. This fragrance has exceeded even the boldest expectations. It doesn't have the sharpness and assertiveness that are typical of men's perfumes, it is unisex. It has captivated me with the scent of a magical forest.
At the very beginning, it smells like crushed grass in your hands, then like a dusty flower with pollen. It is long-lasting, staying on clothes for several days.
I envision it as perfect for a spring day when there is still snow on the ground, but the air is warm and filled with the scent of spring and melting snow.
This fragrance is very interesting, quite long-lasting, and, in my opinion, not at all ordinary. It has a slightly bitter green start, as if crushing the stems and leaves of some plant, and a soft but noticeable "creamy-care" continuation. It sounds quite modern and, in my opinion, will look organic on anyone who likes it. I don't have nostalgic memories of Soviet hair salons, so it doesn't evoke any retro associations or grandpa images for me. Likes and dislikes are subjective, but in my opinion, the sound and characteristics are excellent even without considering the ridiculous price. And if we consider it as a top choice for its price, then even more so. It has taken a worthy place on the shelf among Hermes' gardens, Blackpepper and 2 CDG, Fahrenheit, Eau Sauvage, and V canto Alibi (just to outline preferences).
I bought it blindly, relying on comments and reading literature about perfumes. It's a typical American perfume classic from the 60s and 70s. It resembles more of a cologne but with a good and long-lasting, light, floral cloud. The scent is more suitable for men who are 50 and 60 plus, or very rugged ones who have tried many perfumes and decided to purchase something simpler and more budget-friendly for everyday wear. It's not a fragrance for winter frosts, rather more suitable for the transitional seasons. Against today's variety of scents, Grey Flannel gets lost. I only give Grey Flannel a solid three stars for its historical longevity.
I didn't like it.
As mentioned below, it's a cheap blend of hair salon fragrance and an old overcoat. It's a matter of personal taste.
Smart Service!! The playfulness of this perfume is astonishing! It is definitely pleasant to wear. Long-lasting and smoothly changing notes - unusual... Cloudy... Tempting... Reading about it is a pure pleasure... Pleasantly surprised... Sincerely grateful 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 the pyramid and the design of the bottle. I was really curious to see what could be bought for such a low price. And I must say, it impressed me. Not just impressed, but I often prefer it over other more outstanding and expensive perfumes. Some said it's complex and simple at the same time, and I agree. The pyramid is quite complex, but the scent, although not simple in composition, gives off a feeling as if it's focused on one direction - like the scent of pine, moss, and dampness, maybe? But I actually like it. That's what makes it unique. However, after some time, it becomes a bit blurry and takes on a more mass-market tone.
For me, it's 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 in order to draw any conclusions, you need to smell it more than once or twice. It's a masculine scent of freshness, purity, and meditation. It frees the mind from negative thoughts. Definitely not for children. It lasts quite long.
I bought it to diversify my collection, but I made a mistake. These perfumes are very mature for a 60-year-old. They reminded me of when I used to go to the hair salon and they would spray cologne from big bubble bottles after my haircut. However, the scent is not bad. People from a previous era might enjoy it.
Grey Flannel, I bought it based on the reviews of a perfume blogger, and for me, it's not at all the East but pure classic. At first, there is a sharp mossiness, and then a "dusty" violet. It has the scent of aristocrats, very well put together. Respect to the makeup.
This fragrance is a breath of purity. I wear it with immense pleasure. When I am tired of the intensity of cleaning and other heavy artillery, this perfume is simply a savior. It gives off an aroma of tranquility and confidence in tomorrow.
I was choosing a fragrance as a gift and relied on the comments. Half of the people wrote incredible enthusiastic comments, while the other half compared this perfume to the distant USSR, soap, and pine needles. After receiving 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 needles, a mixture of flowers, and a childhood memory, reminiscent of grandma's perfume in the dresser. There was a moment of disappointment, but then we decided to try it on the skin. And here I was very surprised, the first spray gave a strong scent of a pine forest, but not as overpowering as on the stopper. We waited for about five minutes, and the fragrance began to reveal all its charm. The pine needles transformed into violets, which seemed unusual for a men's fragrance, but it beautifully unfolded itself. The sharp notes disappeared, and what remained was a truly amazing scent, unique, expensive, respectable, and suitable for formal occasions. Definitely, this fragrance is not for young boys. Before buying it, it's better to smell this fragrance, as not everyone will appreciate all its charm, but I took the risk and didn't regret it. The result of this purchase was a satisfied birthday person, and I ordered this fragrance for my boyfriend.
I'm not sure about the East, but this fragrance is more English gentleman-like, quite original, although it also has a classic touch. The aroma is niche in essence, but in terms of longevity and average development, it does lean towards mass-market. It's not bad for a collection.
On the SCENTDIRECT website, Grey Flannel is described as a "Chypre" fragrance, and this is accurate. At the beginning, it is reminiscent of Eau de Campagne Sisley. 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 and herbaceous explosion surrenders to the night, YES! YES! Specifically, to the blooming violet of the night, which exudes a fragrance amidst the coolness of the night, filled with the scents of the earth and grass resting from the heat. In the end, the same violet remains, supported by vetiver and iris. In the trail, although flannel doesn't usually have a trail, but rather an aromatic cloud, there is a confident and enticing aura of a freshly bathed 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 dull the violet. This scent is not suitable for summer. Late autumn, winter, early spring, and rainy summer evenings are perfect for it. The scent is stylish and, if I may say so, casual. A strict suit is not necessary, but a white element in clothing is desirable. Flannel is a very elegant perfume.
1) The service is excellent!
2) The perfume is amazing!
It definitely doesn't leave you indifferent. Choosing it blindly or based on reviews is a personal responsibility, just like it was for me this time. But I didn't make a mistake!
The fragrance is complex and simple at the same time! If you delve into human physiology a little, it will surely become clear why it's always different.
My bottle doesn't have a sprayer. Everything is truly, manly!
Thank you so much, Make Up!
