Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel

A Distinctive Green & Powdery Classic with Quiet Elegance

A characterful men's fragrance where green freshness, violet, powdery nuances and earthy woods create a truly individual signature.

Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel is a classic men's fragrance introduced in 1975 and created by perfumer André Fromentin. Unlike many easy-going fresh fragrances, Grey Flannel has a strong personality from the beginning: green, slightly bitter, powdery and unmistakably vintage in character.

Its identity is built around an unusual combination of fresh green facets and a soft floral-powdery character, with violet and iris playing an important role. As it develops, earthy moss, vetiver and woods give the fragrance greater depth and create the impression of a well-tailored classic rather than a conventional modern men's scent.

Grey Flannel is particularly interesting for fragrance lovers who enjoy perfumes with personality. It does not try to smell like every other clean or aquatic men's fragrance; instead, it has a more intellectual, understated and slightly mysterious character. Its unusual green-violet profile is precisely what has kept it recognizable for decades.

When is Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel best to wear?

Grey Flannel works particularly well in situations where its sophisticated and quietly unconventional character can be appreciated. It suits the office, smart-casual occasions, dinners and relaxed evenings, especially when paired with classic or understated clothing.
