My first conscious memory of GIT is of an old batch, one of those with bottles simply labeled "Millesime" and a sticker with the perfume's name underneath: naturalness, sillage, and a series of ebbs and flows that continued throughout the day.
I still have 20 ml that I hold on to, proving that if a fragrance is of quality, after almost 20 years, it still is.
It's true, times have changed, the rules, the properties, and even GIT has changed a bit, but for better or worse, it still retains something of the proud elegance that made it what it is.
The references are many, and those who have tried to imitate it anyway, but the King is not dead, long live the King!

As a user of Aesop body care products, I find in this fragrance the same natural, minimal, more conceptual than eccentric style of the brand. What's written in the pyramid is mostly found one note at a time: petitgrain, green tea (dried, not green leaves), yerba maté, and hay are all there, just a little, but all of them. Clearly, it's nothing to tear your hair out over, but if you're looking for the same sensation as using an Aesop hand cream or shampoo—that is, a refined naturalness—this is the right place.

As a non-lover of gourmand fragrances, I have to say that the blend of sticky notes of coffee and vanilla with a "cleansing" incense makes the fragrance more than enjoyable despite its overwhelming presence.
However, in my opinion, it's best used - in our latitudes - only in winter or when it's cold.

I have a soft spot for Nishane and I won't deny it, but I think the brand has outdone itself with products like this and Safran Cologne, because the quality is coupled with a very good price per ml (especially when combined with a discount/offer). A beautiful cologne opening, with citrus notes flanked by leaves and flowers, a alternating effect that continues throughout the fragrance, helping to maintain the fragrance's sense of freshness. It doesn't feel like much innovation (which is difficult when talking about colognes), but the blend is definitely above average for the category in terms of perceived quality and appeal. In this type of fragrance, the risk of having a musky base is that of falling into banality, but in this case, a good blend with vetiver deftly avoids the bullet. It's a good thing that so few people are still swearing by this fragrance, thus avoiding the hype. I almost regret writing this review already...
