Grey Flannel Toilettes Spray Ounce, Eau De Toilette, 4 Fl Oz

Great scent without that overwhelming smell. Longevity without clearing the room. Great value for the money

Love the great scent of this old standard cologne, a scent that never goes out of style !!!

I have been using this product for over 40 years, and it is the same as always. Would recommend buying this product.

Smells really good it smells like aqua velva mixed with acqua di selva and earthy pine

I am not crazy about the scent. I bought it without smelling it first. It’s kind of floral when it first goes on. It’s also pretty strong so not a lot is fine.

Not for me but my partner loves it.

As expected

Love it !!

Grey Flannel is one of those polarising scents that has stood the test of time, and then some. First launched in 1975 from one of the era's most regarded designers and perfumiers, it has remained largely unchanged ever since. A classy looking, minimalist smoked glass bottle, with a simple, rather cheap label and tight-fitting plastic cover for the EDT spray. Outer packaging is a basic, unremarkable, branded cardboard box. So much, so innocuous & even inexpensive. Well -at just over £19 as of 1 October '23 it isn't especially high priced. If you don't know it of old though, the package belies the reality, because Grey Flannel was, and still is, one of the most potent of the '70s-era scents: more so than Pacco Rabanne, and a precursor to the monster that was (and still is, despite being hobbled by ill-judged reformulations) YSL's Kouros. 'Potent' is in fact an understatement -if you're accustomed to the aenemic, short-lived scents that largely took hold post the mid-'90s, 'go easy' is the message, because one or two sprays of this will last a full day on most skin types, and very obviously. It's a complex scent, with massive potency on initial application, the blast of alderhydes being quite overpowering. In theory it's a chypre style, with a belt of florals underpined by vetiver and oakmoss. Once the first cavalry-charge of bitter galbanum, bergamot, lemon and neroli, it dries down to a hefty, powdery stability, with the complex mix of florals and herbs balanced by the heavies of aromatic woods, grasses and nuts masquerading as amber. Old-fashioned in a good way, and quintessentially 'British' despite in fact haling from the US and France: think a hot flannel in an old-fashioned barber-shop, the kind of scent you might find Ratty and Mole recognising in the midst of the English countryside, or perhaps Sir Clinton Driffield wearing in J. J. Connington's masterpieces of detective fiction of the 1920s and '30s. Tailor-made suits, custom shotguns and walking-sticks, and that odd feel of well-heeled scruffiness you might find in a northern counties country house or castle on a wet autumn afternoon. Ideal for the colder months of the year, and given both the potency and the relatively large 120ml bottle, exceptional value. It may not suit those obsessed with the latest fashions or brand-names, but for those who've either moved beyond that, or never cared in the first place -a superb scent, which is one of my favourites alongside Bronnley's magnificent English Fern. Highly recommended.

Il mérite encore plus que 5 étoiles , j ' adore cette odeur et contente que ça soit une grande bouteille, je n' arrive pas à définir mais je trouve qu ' il ressemble fort à un boisé floral
