Bowling Green Cologne by Geoffrey Beene, Bowling Green is a woody and spicy fragrance for men. It was launched in 1986 by Geoffrey Bean. This fragrance has top notes of orange, juniper berries, basil, cloves, vetiver, bergamot, lemon, and other fruity notes. It has middle notes of nutmeg, artemisia, lavender, cinnamon, jasmine, lemon verbena, sage, oakmoss, pine tree needles, and cardamom. Its base notes are coriander, rosemary, sandalwood, fir, patchouli, amber, oakmoss, cedar, geranium, and Brazilian rosewood. This fragrance has moderate sillage and is long lasting.

Geoffrey Been was founded in 1963 by the fashion designer of the same name. It is part of the Elizabeth Arden group. The first fragrance this brand created was Grey Flannel for men, launched in 1975. The second fragrance, called Bowling Green, was released in 1986. These fragrances were a chance for people who could not afford the cost of the high-end clothing to own a product from this popular brand. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey all, Justin here. Today I'll be reviewing men's scent Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene. Now this fragrance is classified as a woody spicy scent with significant aromatic accords, and is meant for daytime wear in the spring and summer. Now, one of the predominant notes in this scent is lemon, supported by the other major notes of lemon verbena and lavender. Now, the top notes are primarily citrus and fruit ones. Now, the middle notes are florals and spices, like cardamom. Finally, the base notes are predominantly woody, green notes along with those of amber and patchouli. All right guys, that's all for now.

Simply awesome!

I fell in love with Bowling Green in the mid nineties, just before I moved from Canada to the Czech Republic. I'm still living in the CR, where this fragrance is unavailable. Fortunately, I was able to "reunite" with Bowling Green through FragranceX[...]The cologne, and FragranceX, rock!IMO, the

cologne itself is perfect for all occasions - it's classy, masculine, and strong (but not overpowering). On top of that, it's great value - a superior fragrance for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Can't stay long, sorry!

This was the first time I bought this (1 oz, as a test). It is a wonderful scent. I would use it everyday. Unfortunately, the scent doesn't last more than an hour or so. I was very disappointed.

Oh, this is good. This is real good.

Spray the amount you feel like having. Go nuts. This scent is incredible. I used to wear Grey Flannel a lot but now that I have found this...I can't wait to wear it. It is fantastic. Smells like a bit of irish spring soap with a little pine. Such a fresh and clean foresty smell. Oh so good. It is uber long lasting at 12hr+. Projection is good and as it slowly dissipates it projects less. In other words projection is good for the first 4 hours then it cools off some and forms a nice bubble around you. Sillage is good. If you are working hard and your body heats up it will begin projecting well again. Great for office or anywhere. Is not over-bearing or cloying. Worth the buy and a super nice surprise as a blind buy.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Love this vintage cologne

I had a friend bring this back from America in the 1980's because I'd heard of it but it was difficult to buy in Britain at the time. I am a big fan of Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel and I wanted something different. I do not like to smell like every other man and this smell suits me. I wear it every day during the day and it draws compliments and positive comments. It is not too heavy but you can still smell it in a positive way.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

A good aroma that many don't recognise

I had someone bring this back from America in the early 80's because it wasn't easy to get in this country. It is still a good classic aroma that I will carry on using. I should say I don't like to smell like every other man in the room so I search out niche or forgotten colognes on fragrancex

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

IT'S OKAY BUT....

WHEN I HAD HEARD THAT BOWLING GREEN WAS NO LONGER IN MARKET I WAS SURPRISE. ONE OF THE BEST FRAGRANCE I HAVE EVER WORN, NOW TO WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT FRAGRANCEX HAD IT I BOUGHT TWO BOTTLES. BUT YET I WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTED, WHY? THE COLORING OF THE FRAGRANCE WAS NOT THE SAME(IT WAS A LIGHTER COLOR)COMPARED TO THE ONE I HAD PURCHASED LAST YEAR FROM ANOTHER STORE,I STARTED TO WONDER IF THIS WAS A KNOCKOFF VERSION.. YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.

I would buy this product again and again

My husband wore Grey Flannel all the time but the scent is way to powdery so we switched to Bowling Green and found we both liked it much more. We ordered it twice from this site and the first bottle was great but the second bottle smelled so different ...maybe it was old ? We have been since trying to order more, but SIX months have past with me on waiting list and it seems to continuously be "out if stock". I cannot find it anywhere. This has become extremely frustrating !!

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Is Bowling Green back?

Bowling green cologne has been away for quite a while. I have used this product for over thirty years and always got compliments on it. Recently, it has become available again, though only in one ounce sprayers. Hopefully, the four ounce bottles will be available soon. I haven't been able to find anything comparable to this great scent.

This product draws compliments from everyone young and old. There is no similar product on the market. If you want to smell good and not like all the others. This is it.
