On the same trip my man, been wondering about vintage CW for almost a decade but only recently have i ventured in the world of fragrances because my last teenage frag ended (Boss Element) and i have no signature again, CW being my first and most enduring scent through childhood and teenage years.
I have tested GIT in expensive, perhaps ill-stored decanters and it smells nice but too grassy and no oakmoss/dampness scent, Tres Nuit will be my first buy since i started learning about frags (December last year) and that Floris JF i read yesterday that it's expensive, no good performance and shipping costs a lot but seems to be a fruitier GIT.
Other than that i read about Aventure Knight from Haramain but they say it's too oriental and strong for its own good, Chez Bond no. 9 seems to be similar to CW in the aperture but the drydown is supposedly creamier/floral rather than woody.

>but it is much more floral
How so? iris, violet?
Also about Aspen because it is the same bottle and made by Coty i always discarded it but your words have interested me, what i truly miss from CW is not the high-quality non-stringent calone but the greeness/oakmoss aspect of its base note, which is totally absent in Coty CW.

For me it's almost a different frag, it's very sharp in the aperture and dries down to a salty old lemon while vintage opened with pleasant soft calone and lemon with a strong hint of greeness and dried down to the smell of humid cedar with a bit of tobacco. Fresh vintage CW was something else, much more complex than today and it's a shame few newcomers know exactly why it was so rampantly popular to the point of surpassing Drakkar Noir.
