How is this by the way? I've heard it follows the 1989 Green Irish Tweed trend alongside Cool Water and vintage Sung Homme
I love it! Was my go-to frag back in the late 80's / early 90's. Retains its quality even today IMO. Every time I wear it, my wife will snuggle up close to me for a sniff. Def. some GIT in it's DNA, though not as refined as GIT. Aspen and CW are more comparable with each other than either to GIT. Well, to my nose anyway. Interesting note, Pierre Bourbon was the talent behind both GIT and CW. I've found no direct link between him and Aspen, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were.
An easy blind buy decision if you're interested. Regularly found online sub $20. And if you end up not liking it, you're not out a lot of money.

It's been on the backburner a while.
If interested, as a fan, there exists a single flanker you can look into called "Aspen Discovery". Not too rare or expensive either for an oddball release, but still interesting nonetheless. I've been fascinated by trend of companies making these strange attempts to modernize a classic in the early 2000s. If you like Paco Rabanne PH, there's a flanker release from the 2000s called Eau Paco Rabbane PH in a clear bottle.
Just a small tidbit, and thanks for the opinion/review/recommendation

Le Galion - Eau Noble
I’m pretty obsessed with this one this spring, after a long hiatus. A fresh masculine chypre, in the vein of Eau Sauvage, but whatever they use for a modern oakmoss really gives is legs, so it lasts all day on me. The opening is one of those spring in a bottle sensations, of course the freshness burns off quickly but the powdery oakmoss that remains is sheer, uncomplicated elegance.
