For Men

A timeless scent that evokes the crisp edge of tailored wool and the green depth of a forest at dawn—Grey Flannel opens with bitter galbanum, zesty citrus and fresh petitgrain, transitions into a refined heart of violet, rose, sage and fern, then settles into a rich base of oakmoss, sandalwood, cedarwood, tonka bean and musk. It feels elegant, sophisticated, with a vintage flair that endures.

Scent Story
Grey Flannel starts with a bold green-citrus statement—galbanum’s bitter leafiness offset by bright citrus and neroli, offering a sharp freshness. The heart blooms into classic florals and earthy herbs: violet, rose, geranium, fern and sage weave together a soft, refined elegance. As the scent dries down, woods emerge strong—oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar—while warm tonka bean and musk round out the base with depth and staying power, creating a trail that lingers with a comfortable, distinguished presence.

Wearability & Lifestyle
Best suited for cooler weather—fall, winter, or brisk spring days—and for both daytime and evening wear when you want to project classic confidence. Excellent for business settings, formal or semi-formal occasions, or those moments when timeless style matters. Pairs well with wool suits, crisp shirts, leather shoes, and rich textures; classic outfits in grey, navy, or earth tones enhance its refined character.
