The oakmoss binding might be the common element in all three, but I don't see it as prominent in GIT as it is in Fahrenheit and Kiton Men. This is the danger of playing the pyramid game.

If you carefully read the above quotation, you will see that I make the same point.
All the subsequent posts to the one you quote above were written to show how misleading and incomplete pyramids can be. I made the explicit point that one should trust one's nose over and above pyramids. You're preaching to the converted.

Answer:
This thread intrigued me to the point of heading over to Nordstrom's and giving it a test. In summary, Kiton reminds me more of Bleecker St. than GIT. Love the oakmoss note in Kiton so I had to buy a bottle of course. Also tested the Hugh Parson scents, the Jack Black line, and Gendarme but that's another thread.
BTW Found out Nordstrom's is having Fragrance Week next week. I was able to buy Kiton today and Jack Black Blue on presale. The sale starts 3/28 so I can pickup the JB and any others at the discounted sale price on Wednesday.
