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...
