When past and future come together
This scent confuses me deeply. So let's first do what I always do when I'm confused: break down, clean up, analyze. This begins first with the scent pyramid, I take only a fraction of the listed notes really perceive, that looks then approximately so:
Head: Galbanum, Neroli
Heart: iris, violet, narcissus
Base: oakmoss, tonka, cedar
Looks a lot clearer right away, doesn't it? For me, this fragrance also works exactly as my reduced pyramid suggests: Balsamic-sweet opening spiced with a slight nerolischäfe, which drifts relatively quickly into a powdery floral mixture, but always remains slightly dark and resinous. In the drydown, it gets heavier, sweeter and rounder for me, tonka and oakmoss building a soft base for a very tiny bit of cedar bite.
So, putting that out there very simply, but it wouldn't be a review if I didn't actually rate it. Unlike the majority of the previous discussion posts, I'm female (identify as such) and wear the fragrance myself, which is by no means made easy here. Every other comment starts with "classic masculine" womanizer" "sexy, dapper man" and so on. Understandable, since this fragrance does have a DNA that we have long, long associated with classic men's colognes. But Grey Flannel is almost half a century old now, so maybe it's time to rethink it.
It smells familiar, I'm also almost certain someone in my circle (50+) wears it regularly, but still, there's something refreshingly timeless and exciting about it, as evidenced by the lively discussion here alone. It's definitely a fragrance that's a matter of taste, with a very classic build and a depth and sillage that you have to go for.
Not easy, does one it nevertheless one is rewarded with a fragrance composition that meanders through a wonderfully balsamic forest, throws itself head over heels into a sea of flowers and then beds down on sunlit oak moss. To be honest, it doesn't sound particularly masculine or feminine to me - It just sounds great. If you want to smell like he or she has a sense of style, you'd like to be outside, but also kind of lost in thought in a corner at a jazz club, Grey Flannel. And let's face it, at the price you also have nothing to lose, so girls, ladies and Co: dare you.
Grey Flannel may be a piece of history that each:r can evaluate as desired. But it is undeniable that this fragrance will definitely still have a future. (At least in my fragrance wardrobe)
