Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene, eau de toilette

The story of Grey Flannel

Grey Flannel, launched in 1975, was American couturier Geoffrey Beene's first fragrance and became a masculine classic, inseparable from the grey flannel that dresses its bottle.

Galbanum opens a fresh, vegetal green, lifted by petitgrain and bergamot. A powdery violet forms the heart, surrounded by rose, geranium and a fougère facet, before a chypre base of cedar, oakmoss and tonka bean.

A masculine green chypre, elegant and timeless, to wear from day to evening.
