Nowadays, it's still on the market, together with other men fragrances, passed the exam of the time.
WHAT KIND OF SCENT IS THAT?
After testing it several months, winter time, I came to conclusion - it's kinda winter-spring scent, which makes you feel comfy and calm, in warm and safe cosy place, maybe cabin in the woods with is fireplace or any other kind of lovely home, and outside of the window you see the last snow piles fading, under the sun rises. Under the fading snow is already visible the first green grass and first spring flowers.
Yes, this fragrance combines the warmth and the softness of the Winter and the first Spring signs - kissing Sun rises and young vivid green grass and first tree green leafs.

The first impressions (when you open the bottle and sniff from there) are green notes, fresh green, sharp green, a lot of greenness. All this "sits" on the base of flannel-textile basis - some tart taste basis. There is such impressions, like if you sprayed on flannel and now you are sniffing the scent from there.
TOP NOTES:
Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, Orange Blossom Water, Galbanum
HEART NOTES:
Sage, Geranium, Iris, Mimosa, Narcissus, Rose, Violet
BASE NOTES:
Almond, Tonka Beans, Cedar Wood, Oakmoss, Vetiver
Galbanum, Bergamot, Petitgrain, are very intense in the opening. Green, green, green. You feel green and citrus. Green freshness. Awakening after winter. Spring Sun kiss.
When the top notes fade away, are appearing on very "massive scale": first - Geranium, Narcissus, after - I detect the flower touches - Violet, Rose, Geranium, soft Mimosa touch. The Sage is not so much expressed on the skin, but if you spray on fabric - yes.

The common impression from these two phases is:
- Green, citrusy-green, fresh green
- Flowery, sweet scent, with (here-there) specific touches of sweet flowers
- Green, citrusy-green, fresh green
- Flowery, sweet scent, with (here-there) specific touches of sweet flowers
The base is calm, soft, comfy, like comfortable grey flannel - sweet almond appears, slightly touch of Tonka bean, Oakmoss...
It's so addictive scent - you sniff again and again your skin, and especially addictive are the top notes. The heart notes, too.
Take your warm and soft grey flannel, spray your lovely GREY FLANNEL, go to the window, where the Spring is almost there already, opened it and take deep breath.

CONCLUSIONS
It's not strictly winter fragrance, despite it provokes such impressions, which I described.
It's unusual and interesting.
If you are perfumery appreciator and want to try new scent, pay attention to GREY FLANNEL by GEOFFREY BEENE.

It stays hours, especially on the clothes. As the time goes, it stays closer to the skin, but still can be felt from the other people around.
Comfortable, soft, nice scent, suitable for day and evening.
