I can not understand the positive reviews. The bottle comes in a pretty flannel bag and that makes really what her! But the smell! Fresh aufgeprüht it smells easily as cheap bland-penetrating violet soap. Correct artificial and intrusive. The intrusive touch is permanent and creeps me at the moment, even from the lower arm through the sleeve of a fleece jacket in the nose! Ichhabe the EDT 5 hours ago sprayed with 3 small puffs. The often mentioned here "woody note" is definitely not exist! Even after hours! Classic conservative woody smell which is available at Amazon "quorum". The "Grey Flannel", however, smells, as if you stand in front of a sink, on the one, swollen by water piece perfumed violets soap is cheap synthetic. And it smells (for me) at all "male". It smells stale, pushy and after artificial aroma of violets. A "citrus" I can not make out well. It's just a stale smell that is "strange, intrusive, artificially flowery" circumscribed with the adjectives. And he is absolutely "unholzig"! He has nothing warm, deep, comfortable, nothing green or brown. He is bright and superficially and color are most likely for me to describe with "turquoise". I find it disturbing as moderate.
The first time I've EDT today sprayed lunch. Until 22:00 clock, the odor has not metamorphosing for the better. The second attempt (order 22:00 clock) brought subjectively also a better result. Tomorrow we return the bottle.
Those looking for something material from wood, to the mentioned try "quorum", which the well-known classic brown "Azzaro" is very similar! Someone who has no foregone dogs nose, it is likely to hold for the same - about a third of the price. Very nice and warm, spicy and woody, yes almost like Christmas as gingerbread, is also the classic "Egoiste" of Chanel. (NOT the Platinum!)
