  |  I used to wear this in Highschool!!! OMG brings back memories (good and bad). This was my one cologne and I wore it year round...BIG mistake. Kinda cloying in the warmer months. I didn't know I was wearing a classic however...cool feeling.08 September 2008 |
 | I have used GF since the early 80's and I loved it hugely back then. Now I am not so sure any longer. I'm having this idea that the formula has changed over the years. It's more chemical now while 20 yrs ago it was authentic/real. Could it be that GF is using chemical rather than natural ingredients nowadays becue it's cheaper. I would gladly pay double the price if it would be for the "old" GF. It's difficult now, at least for me it is, to wear it even for nostalgic reasons. It's different now.... and I'm sad for it!! 02 September 2008 |
 | No, I don't hate it, but it's too suburbia prom night rented tuxedo retro 70's. Some like it out of nostalgia, others because they can't find a citrus with longevity and some plain like it. I'm not one of them, much too overbearing a juice, If you want a violet rush that's dignified and distinct, try Joseph Abboud. GF is too high a price to pay for longevity. Pass. 18 July 2008 |

| Quite a shocking opening, Citrussy and sharp with and floral backing that smelled to me quite artificial. Once that disspated, the heart was quite powdery and smelled a bit old ladyish. It dries down after a while into nice sandalwood, maybe a little patchouli. This reads like a bad review, but I actually found it quite interesting. The transition between the very different stages was pulled off effortlessly, with each new note developing when it feels like it should. I tried it on a day in the house in winter and was not keen, but after wearing it out on a warm spring day i found it to react better to a warm climate and humidity. I'll try it again, maybe on a hot summer 23 May 2008 |
 | Wow, this stuff is potent. At first when I sprayed it, it was way too overpowering, and very green. It has a very retro feel to it obviously, but after awhile, it becomes more manageable. I don't think it's bad, but it's not really my taste either. Not for the younger crowd. 23 December 2007 |
 | The first our is really good! Freshy, lavender and sparkly orange. But Grey Flannel, diminishes soon into a mountain of sticky, itchy moss. It doesnt mix well with manly sweat. And in the end feels, somewhat outdated. 28 November 2007 |
 | very fruity and un-appealing .. Actually reminds me of walking into a fruit shop on a stinky hot day and most of the goods are over ripe . 08 May 2007 |

| i can not say that i dont like this fragance, i like so much, but to my girls doesn`t like, they likes the other (bottle blue) in my opinion the other is more younger 29 December 2005 |

| A very different mixture of floral (violet), greens and musk. Very long lasting and sweet. A guy needs a fair amount of panache to bring this one off successfully. 12 February 2001 |
