I have used and loved GF since its launch and now really fighting the urge to get Knize 2. Got a sample from ALzD and have been hooked by its smoothness (while smelling almost exactly like GF) ever since.

IMO there's nothing like GF but a few valid alternatives could be Knize Two and Futur. The Unicorn Spell comes just right after but it's definitely more understated...

Grey Flannel for grown ups?! Are you shitting me or what? Most normal people would think Grey Flannel is very adult in fact some would think it's to adult.
