Greyland Montale for women and men

Comparisons with Gucci Pour Homme I are inevitable but where the Gucci is a bold peppery/incense laying on an woody/ambery base, Greyland strikes as much more starker and minimalistic. The main peppery/incense accord is immediately joined by a sharp cedarwood note that while it's perfectly executed at the same time adds even more severity to this extremely manly composition. Other woods, cumin and leather work as rough (but fascinating) refinements. Nice.

If you like bone-dry fragrances a-la French Lover, CDG Monocle Scent 2 Laurel or the aforementioned Gucci Pour Homme, give Greyland a chance.

Downside: zero sillage, weak lasting power.

Rating: 6.5-7/10

I like it, because it is similar to GUCCI POUR HOMME, ...but this is more modern ....

It's extremely masculine, but still enjoyable for my nose, well, I woulnd't wear this as I'm not so much into unisex/woody/spicy scents, but it is good. It has Montale touch to it, but as Guusje already mentioned - it is similiar to Isos and somehow I remember enjoying Isos a bit more. So - if you like this try Isos and vice versa.

I love the name of this frag and the images it evokes for me. Unfortunately it's a bit of a cumin, hoo-ha, armpit overload to my nose.

Where they ever came up with a boring name like Greyland for this wonderful frag, I can't begin to guess.

This is one to put on with an extra dab somewhere on your hand where you can enjoy it yourself throughout the day. Top and middle are very linear, with lots of 'skank'(at least, that's how it comes out on this woman), then, at the end of the day, it has turned somewhat more 'lady-like'. I'm not sure which ingredients are responsible for the 'skank', but the rose is possibly what sweetens it at the end. Very long lasting on me, which is saying something. A must-have for me.

Remind me a lot Gucci pour Homme with it's peppery-incensy burst. But the blend is WAY better and with a higher quality. I love this one! It's more natural than Gucci pour Homme. Montale's having a little something; blends are fantastic! One of the better niche and without the highest prices. Under 200$ for those fantastic "oeuvres d'arts" it's worth every dollars!

This one is very special and not for everyone.Spicy and a strong cedar note.
I like it very much.

When I speak about Montale I just can't choose which of his perfumes I love better, I do admire Greyland, very warm and spicy-woody, with an excellent black pepper in the top.
