Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene

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
