Eau de Grey Flannel Geoffrey Beene for men

officially same to echo dunhill.. love it!~~ my sis also give the exact same opinion..so strong if u snift at the bottle, i suggest u guys try it on ur skin, if ur skin +vely react to the scent then there u go..perfecto!~ :)

I like the original Grey Flannel because it is different & the Violet and grey feel lends its uniqueness. Unfortunetely it is too recognizable and very 80's esque that it doesnt hold with the rest of the classics like lets say Fahrenheit? I bet if it didnt exist and Tom Ford had released a fragrance called Grey Flannel as one of their private blends series it would be a hit because GF has that strong woodsy unisex dark mossy not for everybody scent that Tom Ford has in his private blend series. Would be great if Grey Flannel gets a remake and the bottle and notes get a complete makeover revitalizing its unique violet/vetiver notes like they did with Dior Homme. This Eau de GF is not as popular and noticeable as Grey Flannel's unique but not for all signature scent. Eau de GF is NOT an alternative take to Grey Flannel. In fact it should have had its own name to not compare or compete with the classic unique Grey Flannel. That is possibly why Eau de GF didnt do as well. This should have been Grey Flannel sport. But even at that, this has no notes except for vetiver from the orginal GF. This is more of a Sport, Citrus, Aquatic nautic scent. Along the lines of a, "just showered, after shave clean cut guy" type of way. Of course it does not smell like a fashion house scent or a "break-neck, "all notice me" scent. If you like Axe scents...this is like a cologne version of Axe products.

I cant wait to receive my order!! I hope this fragrance suite to my honey and wont dissapointed me~ will update my opinion later.. :)

I recently bought a small bottle of this blindly on the back of my adoration of the original Grey Flannel. I needn’t have bothered as EdGF turned out to be a crushing disappointment. Fresh & clean? Yes. Interesting? Absolutely not. This is as boring as the original is intriguing. An instantly forgettable emaciated medicinal-metallic smell that adds nothing to the genre of aquatics, let alone men's fragrances in general. It can’t even be saved by its wonderfully minimalistic presentation (bottle, blue liquid, cloth pouch, etc.). I would say it’s hardly worthy of the Grey Flannel name, and is probably surpassed by a myriad of aquatics of which Chrome Legend is still the current king of the crop for me.

Can I be honest? This fragrance makes me gag everytime I smell it. I can not stand this smell & I get upset when people ask to smell it because it's bad news for me! I guess back in the day it was cool but now it is just time to give it back & never spray it again.

This is a great scent and for a great price! I was pleasantly surprised how nice it smells considering how cheap it was!I purchased it for my dad (in his mid 50s) as a father's day gift. Despite the fact he almost never wears cologne/perfume, I knew that this scent was conservative and casual enough that it is something he wouldn't mind wearing occassionally. On the other hand my 29 year old husband who is quite fashionable and wears cologne everyday also said that he liked it and wanted it too! So overall I think this is a fantastic everday scent and suitable for men of any age.

This version of Flannel is woodsy,fresh and wearable for everyday usage.I love this scent.This is a very fresh scent,yet has a woodsy kick that makes it good for evening or day wear.Lasts along time as well.Eau De Grey Flannel is one of my favorites.

Another strange '90s fragrance. At first sniff it seems like just another calone-heavy snore. Excessive application brings the cedar into sharp focus, as well as the eucalyptus, which by all measure should be a minimal ingredient in perfumery. I'm not a fan of cedar, but here it is well complimented by calone and citrus notes. The eucalyptus is never overpowering. If one sniffs hard enough, a pine note seems to lurk somewhere within the composition as well. I like this fragrance more for its old-world approach to a relatively new ozonic-aquatic style. Truth be told, there's nothing really aquatic about Eau de Grey Flannel. There's also nothing exciting about it. For $9 at Marshalls, you can't expect much else, but in this regard you get exactly what you pay for and not less.

Got this from TJ Maxx for some peanuts plus tax. I blind purchased this due to a reviewer on youtube that I respect. Let me tell you, for the price and the quality of the juice I don't think he hyped it up enough. I think I am going to buy at least another bottle if not two. I wish I could find it in more than a 4.2.

What this smells like on intial spray and top is a woodsy lemon. It is a bit metallic but more citrusy for me. At about the 2 or 3rd hour it becomes floral and soapy with hints of wood and just a little bit of citrus there. Some have said it smells like Rocky Mountain deodarant but I think it is more like a really nice male shower gel with hints of citrus in it. I get around 4 hours per 5 sprays so you will have to refresh but for 9.99 plus tax who cares. Especially with a 4.2. You can spray this 3 times a day and still felt that you robbed the store you purchased it from.

Because of the price and the scent I can't give this anything less than a 5/5. Sillage is good for the first couple of hours, projection is good during the first couple of hours and the longevity on skin is about 5 hours. But again if we are looking at overall value 9.99 then you are getting a steal. Especially if you compare this to Mugler or Original Vetiver (the scent isn't as classy but just as good to the common nose).

Don't try this, don't walk pass this, buy it at first sight. It is a good everyday scent when you just feel like blending in yet you will be noticed and people will say you smell nice. Perfect for the office.

I totally see the resemblence to Fierce! I got this for ten dollars at TJ Maxx and I really like it. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it's still nice. In my opinion, there's something a little heavy or maybe metallic about the fragrance, and although it's called EAU (water) de Grey Flannel, I would just give it a different name entirely. It can be worn all seasons, and something fruity comes out on my skin in the Summer. I have to disagree with another reviewer, it doesn't smell like its' color to me at all. If I were to give this a name, it would be pH Modern, and it would come in a silver bottle. I dunno, that's just my weird little opinion. It's great for ten dollars though, and the woods notes are great!

Smells like it belongs in the family with Platinum Egoiste and A&F Fierce. Not as strong as Egoiste and brighter and fresher than Fierce. For $10 at TJ Maxx, that is a pretty good family to be in.

This sits pretty close to the skin. It is not a loud scent.

It is hard to explain this cologne when you are still new to the whole fragrance scene like I am.

I don't know if this helps any but the color of the liquid in the bottle is sorta like what the cologne smell like. It is not cheap smelling, I don't think it smells like detergent.

Beautiful and it smells way above its price range. It smells like a very concentrated floral bouquet but in a non-feminine variant. You will stand apart from others at the party, and depending on the party guest list you might stand above the other colognes!

This is nothing like the classic Grey Flannel but it is a good one! It has character too. This is a woody/fresh fragrance. I can smell a mint note in the opening. It's nice, soft and pleasant with decent sillage and longevity. Drydown is a soft sweet vetiver. It's very pleasant

It represents four words to me lemony-fresh soapy-clean .....very good considering the price

by the way longivity is satisfying to me ;)

on my skin it turns into a fresh sweet, slightly woody scent.

i read that this frag smells almost exactly like Aramis - Surface. Is it true?

The father of this scent (so to speak) the original Grey Flannel I own. It is my least favorite but I am willing to try this scent since the reviews seem to suggest this is the better of the two. Although I am not going out of my way to try or buy this fragrance, I am keeping a open mind. So once I do try it, I am hoping it is an improvement over the original.

Smells the way that you would think of modern to smell like if you were back in the 90's. It's fresh and a bit predictable, but for the price it's exceptional. It's about as sporty as a fragrance can get. Reminds me of Swiss Army a bit as well.

Just bought a bottle and was immediately captivated by it. I'm still surprised that it's popularly priced and yet really nice.

NOTE: this is not a light version nor summer variation or versioning and there is no any sort of resemblance with the original GREY FLANNEL.

Here I agree with tommy_girl... I found this quite resembled to AXE SHOCK deodorant but Eau De Grey Flannel has a character + maturity in the composition as it develops with olfactory pyramid construction for which a deodorant is not capable of.

It’s not something extra-ordinary but if you want to have something cool, refreshing and joyful occasionally then it’s a must have (For me it is).

I ranked GEOFFREY BEENE as below:
RANK 1: GREY FLANNEL
RANK 2: BOWLING GREEN
RANK 3: EAU DE GREY FLANNEL

But overall they all fall under A+ and A not below!

I believe this fragrance is underrated.this is exactly the kind of cologne I like in a man.it's manly,without being overwhelming with it's male power nor being too sharp to the nose.it's very fresh at the same time.
to me the fresh notes are the only recognizable part of it.it reminds me a guy who's just came out of shower and who smells incredibly aquatic.so it's obvious that some cheaper colognes or deodorants may smell the similar way.but personally,I get some similarities with kenzo l'eau par.
I've never smelles the original grey flannel,so I can't compare them.but since "eau" perfumes are lighter,I think this one smells righter and better to my sensitive nose.

Eau de Grey Flannel is not to be confused with the original oakmoss paradise with which it shares part of its name.

This one is neither green nor mossy but focuses on the anise in the opening and the herbal heart. The only thing it has in common with its namessake is the vetiver in the base, and even that is not enough to make it seem like a logical fragrance flanker.

Eau should have been given its own name and marketing plan. Those looking for diet Grey Flannel, like me, will be disappointed and the scent would have probably done better on its own. At least it would have not suffered from the comparison to the real GF.

couldn't help but agree

although it's in the woody category,I think it's aquatic too.the citrus sense and the sexy pocket!
