Green Irish Tweed Creed for men

300 $, cool water...No I don't like cool water.There is no need to..

There is another fragrance that smells exactly like GIT and that is the Manchester United EDT in the red box 100ml, and it costs almost as much as coolwater..

This is my favorite scent, and I have many. Lasts a long time on my skin. Very green, oceany, clean and fresh. I've not found anything with lasting freshness like this one. I crave it while I'm wearing others.

This shit doesn't last 3 hours Max

Enough of this comparisons with Cool Water. Here I'm gonna talk about this and ONLY this fragrance since I'm reviewing it not Cool Water.

Green Irish Tweed starts very green mixed with a bright citrusy aroma (nothing harsh!). After 10 minutes this citrusy aspect starts to fade leaving space to flowers, but nothing feminine at all, instead it is a very unisex aroma if I may say.

Now on my skin there's something very oceanic and also somehow a little sweet, anyway a very, very pleasant aroma! A complet turnout from the opening.

I would also like to pinpoint that the violet here is nothing like the one we can find in Eau de Cartier Concentreé with that herbal/powdery aroma. Anyway, the perfect guy for this scent on my mind? Well succeeded young business guy wearing an expensive sunglasses, a jeans and a polo shirt driving around town in a fancy car.

For all y'all out there: monsieur Pierre Bourdon composed Green Irish Tweed in 1985 and Cool Water in 1988, which explains the similarities in their top and mid notes (but not in the dry-downs, which are quite different). For a better match with GIT, mix CW in 2:1:1 ratios with Eau de Cartier and Guerlain Vetiver. It will still not be identical to GIT in the dry-down, but will smell (ALL the time) a lot more natural and less like a chemical factory compared to GIT. (I work with chemicals, screened some 150 organic solvents a while ago, so I can really tell what industrial chemicals - as distinct from natural ones - smell like...)

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

TO BEGIN WITH I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS REALLY AN EXPENSIVE STUFF. NOW COMING TO THE FRAGRANCE THIS IS AWESOME RICH AND ELEGENT SCENT, A CLASS AND A MASTERPIECE BY THE GREAT CREED, AGAIN A VERY OLD COMPANY WITH A GREAT CLIENTILE, I LOVE THIS AND I ENJOY EVERY BIT OF IT, PEOPLE COMPARE THIS TO COOL WATER BY DAVID OFF AS COOL WATER IS A CHEAP COPY OF CREED AND STANDS NO WERE NEAR CREED GREEN IRISH TWEED.CREED A MUST IN MY COLLECTION AND NOT COOL WATER , PLS DONT CPMPARE COOL WATER WITH THIS.

I like it and i border line love it. However this is not a perfume for beginners. (because the opening is quite frankly a little musty)

However...This perfume is like the girl your not initially attracted to but you see her at a party (where shes not wearing her usual jeans and baggy shirt) and POW! your jaw drops.


Grade B+

I don't like this fragrance, so chemical and expensive!

A very nice green scent, top quality materials are used here no doubt. This is one of the cleanest freshest scents i have ever smelt and owned.(not aquatic fresh) this is like waking up 5am in the summer and going out to your garden which is in the countryside. so you end up smelling all the green grass plants violet flowers, damp soil. very green scent that smells amazing. this is very expensive but you do get what you pay for here. The lasting power is around 6-8 hours and very close to the skin after that, but can still be smelt by people who get close to you. the sillage is moderate not a beast but creates a nice cloud around you which is the way i like my scent to project.

scent 10/10

Just so everyone should know that this scent was introduced before CW and Chanel Platinum Egoiste, this came out during the 80s. The noses' behind GIT-Creed were also the ones that came up with the CW scent later in the 90s.

I agree to all those that remarked GIT as CW top notes with Hints of Chanel Platinum minus the Soapy/Detergent-Deodorant elements. But give it some time and it will certainly introduce the unique captivating scent it possess. Projection is really good and lasts very very long.

@Minity Meo

All the online stores you mention are ok with the Creeds.

eBay IS NOT!

I read a lot of reviews about this Creed perfume which is considered one of the most succesfull. I got the first bottled last week and I'm trying every day to evaluate the smell, merits or drawbacks and decide if this worths the saying.
The first thing I noticed upon spraying it on my wrist, was Cool water.....Cool Water so similar? then why to spend so much money to get something that which is more or less the same?...but this is not truth. The next morning, I put GIT and went to the office....and the trip away from the cool water, started with small steps....and honestly, this does not smell like cool water. it has the vide, it remindes you the cool water but is far away also from that. Cool water is aquatic more or less, this is green and fresh and worths the money you pay. The more you wear this perfume, the less the cool water it reminds you.
Beyond that, I got something else in this....something that I'm very familiar with! What is it? And i decided that the so familiar smell is Egoiste Platinum.
Platinum is more lemoni than GIT but they are similar....now, how can we discribe GIT? You take a blender, you put a bottle of cool water and egoiste platinum, some more green notes, basil for example, higher quality ingredients and you get GIT...this is it!!!! It is a very nice smell, very nice and natural but if you have those CW and EP in mind, this reminds them a lot but is more green! It lasts for hours I would say, can be used in any occasion and any seasons so having a perfume which is so versalite, nice and fresh, worths the price.

performance and reviews of this fragrance is totally over rated in the perfume industry.

I was very disappointed after buying Green Irish Tweed

Very simple smell , almost Linear, boring, without excitement.


My advice is that before buying this fragrance, please spray few puffs on your cloths and neck and ask your partner or friends about their feedback.

Do not buy online? Damn! FragranceNet, FragranceX, and any others big online stores sales creed, they are selling fake fragrances? Of course not, this is a joke hehe.

The elite cologne for the elite. Enough said.

BUY FROM AN OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR. DO NOT BUY ONLINE!

For all things bad and good, I thank God for the much increased availability of authentic samples.

When you pay £120 for 120ml, you crave, aspire and desire the best.

This, plainly speaking, is just a bouquet of violet, ornate florals and greens. Ambergris is probably my favourite note, its presence at the base lends this the sensuality that almost justifies its iconic repertoire.

Sadly, I have a thing against certain notes, and violet is one of them. Feel like someone, excluded, a long long and far away, from the Club of the Tweed.

Oh well, at least I like Dior Homme intense =)

Nothing special about it. Price tag is unreasonable. It did not stay even 2 hrs on my skin.

remind me of cool water...
but bit better.
love it when it settle down..

only frag that gave me a headache EVERY time is UNFORGIVABLE

Does anyone else get a killer headache when wearing this? I will sometimes get a headache from a new fragrance for the first two or three times I wear it but GIT has been giving me a headache for over a week now.

I was considering giving my bottle away, but today some random girl came up to me and asked me what I was wearing because she thought it was amazing. The last time this happened I was single and about 7 years younger. As for the scent once the green opening dies down I love the sandalwood base. I tend to not spray too much cologne usually one or two sprays. With GIT I am using two. I will give this one some more time. It might just be something I use for special occasions.

quite similar to Chanel Platinum, which is disappointing

Cool Water and GIT have a similar smell because they were created by the same perfumer. Cool Water is the poor mans GIT. How close are they? Imagine eating a frozen spaghetti and meatball dinner that's been microwaved vs a world class chef making everything from scratch and serving it up to you with a nice vintage wine to boot. There's no question about which one is better. The only question is are you willing to spend 5 times as much for it? Personally I'd rather enjoy one world class meal instead of 5 crappy ones.

Cool Water ain't even close.

Anyone who says it is, is judging Cool Water only by it's opening. That is the only stage where CW remotely resembles GIT. After about 1 minute, the synthetic, aquatic, "blue" vibe appears, and takes CW in a totally different direction. Not even close at this point.

GIT on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

One of the greatest masterpieces in the world of fragrancces. A intoxicating legend. 10 points!

If I were to chose GIT and Cool W of Davidoffs, I would go for GIT as CW is way back synthetic.

Yet, CW brings back memories as not every one can afford GIT whilst in his teenage years.

9/10

I just received my Green Irish Tweed..Dissapointed to say the least..Smells alot like Cool Water and doesnt last as long..and triple the cost..According to the reviews, its supposed to be Creeds Finest!..Creed Vetiver in my opinion is still the best and worth the $$..

I can not ignore the similarity with cool water.
Yes it's similar in top notes a lot then became different a little in middle and base but the top of git is much better,more naturel.
This will definitely get lot of compliment.
It's versatile can be worn spring fall and winter i dont see it as a hot weather fragrance.
casual and formal,day and night.
Longevity and projection seems both good but not good as aventus,about 8 hours.
I would say if u have a lot of fragrance and lot of money go for it but to be the first niche i would go with something more unique.

A tall handsome guy in Irish style: a tweed hat, a long brown coat and boots!
The only fact in Creed perfumery which you can't easily compare to any perfume or brand you want, is its quality. The perfumes are extremely high level blended and the quality is unique, seems there's no impurity in them.
Tweed is a linear scent, a little cold and tasteless with some serious patter which reminds a reserved man who talks rarely. An exact hint of 90's perfume makes it so charming and rings lots of bells! It's an herbal, aromatic and creamy scent with a little coldness undertone. It opens a little bolder than middle; spicy and muddy sweet.
And I can't see similarity to Cool Water, or I don't want to compare, these are from another spirits.

The Power Of Iris ...

Opens sour violet flowers dry down quite bitter & sour alegancy flowers .
Best iris sent Ever
Sent 9.7/10

The original mix according to Creed House:
Top Notes: French verbena, Florentine iris

Middle Notes: Violet leaves

Base Notes: Sandalwood from Mysore, ambergris

the best smell i have ever smelled in my life,lasting power 15+, anyone can wear it any time in the year,
i would give this great 11 out 10

Green Irish Tweed is one of the best men's fragrances ever, and definitely the best thing Creed has ever released (aside from Bois du Portugal and some of the Private Collection fragrances).

Does it have similarities to Cool Water by Davidoff? Sort of, but mainly in the base notes. Green Irish Tweed is a lot greener and higher-quality smelling, in my opinion. It has one of the best drydowns ever, and every guy with a passion for fragrance (or at least a hobby in it) should try Green Irish Tweed. Cool Water smells sweeter, more synthetic, and more like ketchup to me.

Now, taking all that into consideration, I will add one qualm: Green Irish Tweed can smell kind of cold and heartless, sometimes. The bottle reflects that, in a way - it's the Darth Vader of the fragrance world (the smaller sizes don't count). Green Irish Tweed simply smells like "gentleman" with not much emotion or substance, in my opinion, so when you wear it, make sure you put on your best character.

That aside, Green Irish Tweed is a great fragrance. I find this to be the fragrance that ushered in the "current" era (1985 - present); it still has relevance today, more than 25 years later.

The longevity is also very good. At least try it, otherwise you'll never know.

My corporate work scent. Awesome stuff and the only fragrance that I have come across that goes on super strong and stays that way for 6 hours and then just pooofff. Gone. Amazing smell, amazing projection, great compliments, and where the hell did the smell go? (after 6 hours)

Okay so I wanted to wear this a few times before I reviewed it. I didn't want to smell it on paper or get a whiff on my wrist or just wear it once then run an make an ill informed review. So what follows is my experience with this fragrance.

Let me start by saying this fragrance is about as overrated as Albert Pujos, Tiger Woods, Micheal Jordan and Barry Sanders or Peyton Manning. PLEASE don't let anyone tell you that. You have to do yourself a favor and wear this a couple of times. It is worth the sample on ebay or go to the nearest Nieman's and see if they will give you one. Please, please do yourself a favor and wear this and if then you don't like fine. But don't be detoured.

On to the fragrance. Cool Water is 1985 Ford Escort and GIT is a 1979 Camero with a modified engine and a supermodel in the passanger seat! There is no comparison. Sorry folks that won't fly here and I don't have a fish to fry in this picnic. I don't care if Creed was 5 dollar and Cool Water was 10 dollars. I am not caught up in niche names or non niche names I just want to smell good and this will make you smell better than GREAT!

In the top I get bright green notes, ah the lemon in the top is so beautiful mixed with the floral (Iris) hmmm. Then the violet kicks in and it is the best violet in any scent I have smelled. So natural. This top/middle combination lasts for the first 4-6 hours and then the base kicks in and oh the sweetness and woods is delicious. I also think this has ambergris but don't see it in this breakdown.

Let me make this clear this is by farrrrrrr the most complimented fragrance. I had two coworkers who just kept talking to me about how great I smelled and I own quite a few fragrances. This thing is divine folks. Don't be swayed by the naysayers who talk down and don't be swayed by the price. Worth every penny discounted or retail.

Comparisons are always made between this fine Creed and Davidoff's Cool Water, and while I can understand this and smell the resemblance, I think another comparison should be made: Green Irish Tweed resembles Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. The key is in the violet leaf. Often mistaken for having a sweet violet flower smell, violet leaf is actually a very cool, iris-like green, detached and elusive, but always imbuing perfumes with a rich freshness. Of course, real violet leaf isn't used in either GIT, Cool Water, or Grey Flannel. In GIT, dihydromyrcenol is what gives the scent its green freshness. Perhaps it is used to some degree in Grey Flannel as well, but not in Cool Water. While Cool Water smells very "blue" with its herb-spiked synthetic lavender, GIT is decidedly dark-green/purple. The iris, brightened only by the citrus verbena, rapidly gives way to a very dense violet leaf and sandalwood heart, tinged sweetly by Ambroxan (synthetic ambergris) in the base. The effect is rich, intoxicating, woody greenness.

Grey Flannel has the same rich greenness, although oakmoss and sandalwood vie for attention in the Beene perfume. Grey Flannel also has that thick, smooth, cold violet leaf running through it. While I prefer Grey Flannel, Green Irish Tweed certainly holds its own as a masterpiece. It is certainly not out of place in a green frag-lover's wardrobe. As far as Creeds go, this is one of the best, and probably the most masculine of the Millesimes, next to Bois du Portugal and Himalaya. I feel that among Creeds, it's a real toss up between these three, and frankly I wonder if I wouldn't have been happier picking the gunpowder grey Himalaya over this. But GIT doesn't disappoint, and there are never any points in its evolution where it loses its stride. For a powerful, classy fragrance, look no further. Would also be interesting on the right woman.

Quick additional side note - perusing the many reviews of GIT here on Fragrantica leads me to believe that a majority of those who either try it, or buy it, aren't actually smelling the real GIT. Folks, if you're not getting it from a major legitimate chain retailer (places like Walgreens, Costco, Neiman Marcus, or the Creed Boutique in France or here in the States), and you're buying from Ebay or any other obscure online perfume retailer, you're probably getting Green Frich Tweed, or GIT in a plastic-seamed bottle that's filled to the brim with, you guessed it: Cool Water! Only Cool Water smells like Cool Water. Real Green Irish Tweed smells like citrus, violets, violet leaf, sandalwood, and ambergris, with generous touches of iris depending on the batch. Cool Water smells like synthetic lavender, mint, and cedar. Do the two scents share similarities? Oddly enough, yes, and to an admirable degree (I have spoken at length about it in my review of Cool Water), but not to the extent that people should be comparing the two exclusively. Trust me, there are far more similarities between GIT and the violet-laden Grey Flannel. And even then, GIT stands alone as a monumental masculine fougere. /rant.

the notes in this pyramid are all wrong...
My favorite but I will not wear it in winter perfect for spring though.
UPDATE:this lasts forever,the mark of quality!THE BEST.

Just bought 2.5ml bottle few days ago... The fragrance itself is amazing.... Problem is on my skin it only lasts for 3 hours.. after that it stays really close to my skin.I would wear it on a romantic date or in office, certainly not when ya goto a party or guys night out .. overall I personally give it 3.5 stars out of 5.. and its all for the smell of fragrance.... doesnt get 5 cause 2.5ml bottle costs $225... and for 225 bucks it should stay on my skin for atleast 12 hours.There are fragances out there which cost alot less than $225 and will stay on your skin for atleast 8 hours... my suggestion to those who want to buy this ... MAKE SURE you get a sample first and try it on you before ya spend 200+ bucks

Green Irish Tweed=Cool Water? How can this be possible? Perhaps, Davidoff realised how wonderfully elegant this scent was and released their own fresher more aquatic version. It does have a few glaring and obvious similaritites: they are both men's scents, they have some notes in common, both are quite popular; that is where the similarities end.

GIT opens with a simply amazing coolness and somewhat green and sharply herbal citricity. Where CW sours slightly on my skin, this becomes more warm green and powdery soft on me (like real tweed would, Wow!). The violet note here is very prominent; but speaks softly and clearly, where the one in GB's Grey Flannel screams! It is a perfumer's feat: the way the warm pungently green basil is combined with the dry clean grassy vetiver and sprinkled with powdered violets! There is something ever so slightly metallic in this, but it is pleasant and not artificial smelling in the least. I have heard it rumoured that this was created for Mr. Cary Grant. I do not know if that is true, but it smells like something you would smell on a handsome Hollywood leading man. Sexy, subtle and earthy enough without being overly musky or dirty. You would expect the drydown (cedar, amber and vanilla) to be very resiny...almost oriental. Here though it is more genteel and full of finesse. Cedar is dry and slightly sharp and the amber (no doubt true ambergris) is more salty and pungent, than golden amber resin, and the vanilla is also dry and yummy (but not very intense). It is more detectable hours later but, in the right proportion to the rest of the notes; this whole perfume has amazing longevity, and everyone who has smelled in on me loved it (and NO ONE has, at least yet-anyway, mistaken it for Cool Water!). Sophistication, excellent blending and top of the line ingredients make the difference here, and you DO get what you pay for in this case. Woody floral musk? Woody: sure, Floral? Absolutely but not overly so; and very masculine, Musk? Not so much animalic, as sexy in a very "come hither, my Dear" way! If by aquatic you mean smooth and fresh with ocean-esque notes...yes, I suppose; but this is not "caloney" and has none of the usual suspects in it (like cardamom, melons, maine accords, etc...) and for this I am grateful. CREED may be painful to your wallet; but it is a pure joy to the nose!

Sillage: great
Longevity: divine
Overall: 4.5/5

You can buy a nice suit "off the rack", or you can get one made by a skilled tailor constructed of more quality cloth, with careful detail to stitching and sewn by hand...the choice is yours. The more cost effective way is fine, but will not last as long or fit (and feel quite) as well as the tailored one. So it is with CW and GIT. My advice: quality endures, resonates class and lasts longer. Do yourself a favor...spend the money, in the long run it will be worth it!

It goes on green and with an alcohol scent, and then the two combine into an unmistakable fresh/sweet scent, which remains dominant throughout its lifetime. It moderates only slightly to smell more clothing-like about half-way through. The silage isn't huge, but you know it's on you. As for longevity, it easily passes the 16 hour mark.

I like the scent, but it's just not me. It doesn't seem very masculine and doesn't really make me feel anything in particular, except that I was somewhere in the country. It's radiates being laid-back, I suppose, and I think that's really why it doesn't work for me. I'm already laid back, and I want my colognes to take me places.

It's quality stuff and there are no weird U-turns or moments where you smell like another man's BO or something, but all the hype made me think that it would rock my socks off.

So green yet so sophisticated. A daily wear bearing the price of an expensive women's eau de parfum. If you really like it, go for it, it will be worth the price.

GIT is a legend for a reason. Masculine, pleasant, refined, and just pure class. Probably the most versatile scent in my wardrobe, and probably my all-time favorite.

Get the 4oz/120ml flask - you'll use it. One spray on the chest and two on the neck lasts me an 8-hour work day. When my young son grows up, this is the smell I want him to associate with his dad.

Pure class.

I chose Green Irish Tweed to tell what I think about Creed perfumes, just because it is one of the most recognizable in the house production. This is quite a legendary fragrance and, for sure, an amazing scent. Fresh and metallic but in a solid way (no "sport edition") , superbly crafted and surely distinctive. The opening is really captivating with lemon verbena and amber (ambroxan) working perfectly for an almost chilling effect while in the drydown it gets a little bit warmer with the note of sandalwood. It has a good sillage and reasonable lasting power. A cult scent for many of us, BUT...
What I really think about Creed is most of their scents (not all of them) are very (very) similar. Someone calls it Trademark, and it's ok, but when it becomes the main ingredient the risk is it could turn to be a limit.

Rating: 7/10

GIT vs Cool Water side by side:

Opening:

CW: Much stronger projection and does have an aquatic note to it. Also much spicier than GIT with a strong lavender, minty and coriander smell. Overall smell is much denser than GIT. Can be described more translucent that GIT (due to more notes) or harsh [your pick]

GIT: Lemon juice and verbana. Very smooth but weaker projection. Can smell some sweetness to it, perhaps the amber peeking through? Not as sweet/spicy than CW though

Mid:
CW: spicy and sweet with the lavender/mint/calone combo mixing with some woodiness and amber

GIT:
Smooth transition into the mid. Top notes goes weaker and the violet leaves and amber peek through.

Base:
CW:Sweet lavender, florals with hints of musk

GIT:
Lemon flavoured waxy amber with slightly powdered sandalwood.


Overall:
I find GIT smoother and more natural, and CW harsher and sweeter.
I think GIT's base beats CW but CW takes it on the projection end.
Longevity is similar for both, at 6-10hours for me.


I like GIT more, but in all fairness, I think it beats CW because of better ingredients, not better construction, if that makes any sense.

Most Creeds I have sampled all smell very natural to its ingredients (natural lemon, vetivers, mandarin orange, sandalwood etc)

One criticism I have for GIT though, is that I actually find it much more linear than CW. Therefore CW is actually more complex than GIT, even though GIT is better blended and not harsh at all even when oversprayed. On the other hand, CW can cause headaches if you spray a tad too much.

Summary:
GIT is like a salad; ingredients from the garden next door mixed together in the most simplest and natural way (like many Creeds). Natural and tasty, but do you need a top chef to prepare this?

CW is like a stir fry: many processed ingredients bought in the local supermarket. Cooked well but not seasoned to everyone's liking.

There are many copycats but this refined regal sophisticated cologne is a winner. Its my #2 cologne and I am pretty passionate about how great I think that it smells. There are comparisons between this and cool water but its like comparing imitation cooking flavorings to the pure extract. If you want to settle and you are ok with the fake orchestrated and quite honestly nauseating smell of Cool Water, go for it. If you want to walk into a room, turn heads and love how your clothes smell once they are off and you get a whiff just buy the Creed. Its as distinctly masculine of a cologne as you could ever want without smelling like a lumberjack or founding father.Again, its pricey but so damn worth it! Smell it, buy it and enjoy it.

On my skin:
Top: Burst of juicy, green, aquatic, 'watery' type of scent, with hidden woody, mossy type of scent.

Middle: The scent calms down, the burst of freshness maintains, but the greens pops in more.

Base: Green with the ambergris scent.

Seriously, this is one, hell of a complex scent.

And guess what?

The top notes lasted on me for 4-5 hours.

The middle just keeps hanging on for 4-5 hours.

And the base around 1-2 hours.

Dam....The top and middle can be detected on me, all during that time. I have to be shyly enough to ask people, can you smell me, and they say yes, you smell fresh and green (every hour I ask).

While Millesime Imperial lasted on me barely 30 minutes, this one projects and last like a monster on me.

This fragrance reminds of going to the rain forest, and drinking sprite soft drink beside the woods at the same time. hahahahaha!

But for sure, it is appealing. It is safe buy for man niche fragrance.

Very versatile, I can use this at work, for playing polo, for dates, for function, but not for clubs (maybe lounge).

I don't think people could hate this scent. Its gentle, cool, relax type of scent.

Goodness, girls love this.

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on both.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 5 (okay! so here' the thing! There is many hypes on Cool Water and this. Cool Water opening is same with this! Serious, the only thing is, instead of a sprite opening type, this one is lemon opening, and the middle and end notes is more of a lemon, light type of scent, and totally different from GIT).

Sillage: 4 (Gently sits there when I am doing nothing, Pumps up when walking ).

Time length: 5 (8-9 hours, okay Creed, seems like GIT likes my skin XD).

Occasion: 4 (jack of all trades, if you are playing polo, this scent will wipe out everyone coming your way XD).

Overall base on mathematics: 4.5/5

OKAY! Creed! Not bad XD

The single greatest scent ever crafted by a human being. bottom line. I bet you God would sport this even.

This is absolutely one of the sexiest fragrance a man can wear. Also one of the finest and most wearable Creed fragrances around. It's from the 80's and don't smell like old grandpa! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Anyway there are more complex fragrances than Green Irish Tweed, but this one smell amazing. Your girlfriend will love you, her mother will love you to, even her grandmother.

Recently I found & tested it. After reading so many compliments and positive reviews, I’ve been expecting something really extraordinary and legendary. But … it was just good, with very high longevity and sillage.
Good, just it! (But indeed!)

اخیراً تونستم این عطر رو تست کنم.
بعد از اینکه مدتها در مورد این عطر مطالب هیجان انگیز و تعریف و تمجیدهای خیلی زیاد خونده بودم، انتظار خیلی زیادی از این عطر داشتم
انتظاری که بعد از تست کردن اون برآورده نشد

عطر خوب و خنک و دلنشینی هست که دوام خوبی هم داره
اما من نتونستم واژهء "افسانه ای" رو توی اون پیدا کنم
البته بجز قیمتش

GIT started the whole fresh-ozonic-aromatic trend and when i smell it a lot of frags came to my mind that tried to imitate this fragrance either fully or partially. I'm not a fan of this scent, but i do acknowledge it as a pioneer and as a trend-setter among perfumes.

First, it took me years of owning this treasure from Creed to figure out its seemingly unrelated name. And then it struck me, it's the smell of a prickly woolen blanket that's a bit dampened in a country house while unused. There's smth here that's connected to my personal childhood memories. But, Gosh, how on earth did they manage to create such an outstanding scent using such a common theme?!

Second, I didn’t intend to buy it even at Christmas sales but then, after my visit to a shop, I felt a very enchanting smell going from the cosmetics bag hours and hours later and didn’t calm down until I dug it out and identified. The blotter with GIT.

When you like the scent so much as I do, you can’t distinguish notes, but just smell magic. In his earlier review (before 2008) Luca Turin praised it a lot though mentioned it’s more on the feminine side. To me this scent has no real gender, but if it did, I would choose it as a masculine alter ego of another favourite of mine: Pure Poison Elixir (Dior).

Logically, many people here refer to Cool Water, the next perfume created by the same perfumer. I like it too, fell for it more than 10 years ago, but why should we try to choose between them? Prince Charles is rumored to love and wear both. So, there’s no use to label one a ‘gym slip’ and another ‘mature tweed for the elite’. I think it’s fun to love them both.

This fragrance was my first intro to creed several years back , it opens with a green, lush, iris/ lemon verbena combo. After about 30 minuets, You start getting the violet, vetiver, and basil. lastly, after about 7 hours later ,(On my skin anyway), you get the Mysore, ambergris, and sandalwood, which is incredible. For those who want to compare this with CW, I would say don't., CW is liner and one dimensional, where as GIT is multilayerd and 3 dimensional. Its like comparing a fish wish sandwich, with a Chilean sea bass dinner.

Green Irish Tweeed is a thinner, louder version of Cool Water. Both fragrances were made by Pierre Bourdon (Kouros, Feminite du Bois, etc), who told an interviewer that Cool Water was the best fragrance he ever made.

For what it's worth, on my husband I find Cool Water far more restrained and appealing than Green Irish Tweed. GIT is nice, but it must be the most over-rated fragrance in history. And for the record, they are both comprised of approximately 85% synthetic materials. The only difference is that Cool Water is a more complete fragrance and uses the synthetics to greater advantage.

I bought this for my man for his birthday and he loves it and I love it too! I honestly can't keep my hands off of him when he wears it! I can't find the words to explain how sexy Green Irish Tweed smells. Its very expensive but it is worth it! I really love how the smell of it stays on everything, place and anything he touches including me!!! When he puts it on he always hugs me and kisses me and it drives me crazy! Very masculine fragrance! lol

At first glance It is like some fragrances for example COOL WATER but in a High Class way and in my opinion the base notes are Determinant for Severance CREED fragrances of Most brands as The base notes are Wonderful and makes them Long Lasting just like This one.

GIT has a Green overtone with Woody undertones that make it Ambrosial.
A Magical and Subtle Masculine fragrance that turn heads wherever You
go. It is dependable for Any season Especially Spring/Summer and Any Occasion . I recommend this one to Everyone who wants only the BEST.However it is Too Expensive but really worth Every penny you pay for it.

Sillage?Interesting.

Longevity?Surprisingly Superb on my skin.

8/10

DISCLAIMER: I am not very adept or experienced at reviewing men's fragrances, but awesomeness kindly sent me this sample to play with so I will try to do her justice!

I can smell something 'weedy' in the top notes which I attribute to the lemon verbena. It is very fresh and clean. I can also pick up some creamy woody notes, but that is about all. Somehow it does smell 'green' though.

I tried it out on Mr Catbiscuit but he has trouble with fragrances like this (Cool Water too) - they turn somewhat musty, thin and sweaty on him. Poor bugger, and poor me too, because there is something so sweet, yet so masculine and heartbreakingly tender about this seemingly streamlined cologne.

Boys if you have the right chemistry, GIT *will* work its simple pleasures on the hearts and minds of ladies everywhere.

Not to be critical, but fragrantica has the notes wrong. It's a very straightforward top notes of lemon and french verbena, middle notes of violet leaves and florentine iris, and basenotes of mysore sandalwood and ambergris. A simple and WONDERFUL composition I've been using for over 15 years. It's my go-to fragrance, it's good anytime of year, it always smells great, and it even mixes well with many other colognes. THE star scent of Creed and any other cologne house. Period.

Very aquatic opening similar to cool water, but more natural smelling. Drydown is very good and clean.

I have this fragrance and the base is mysore sandalwood not cedar. this smells very natural not synthetic at all.Lasts a long time on my dry skin.It was a gift ,too expensive yes but excellent quality.

An excellent fresh-woody-musk. If you really like Cool Water and money is no object, then go ahead and buy this. It smells better than Cool Water - but not 10X($) better.

Far and away one of the most amazing scents I have ever worn. The opening is crisp and remarkably green; however its the dry down that makes this fragrance a true classic. Even after three or four hours this fragrance still projects a sweet, powdery cedar note. First class! Very expensive, very worth it.

Seems like Creed always has wonderful perfumes! But It's over priced, even more than Bond No.9
Actually both 2 houses have a lot of similarities: fabulous scents, having only one bottle shape, high prices, and hard to find in the shop!
Unfortunately I love this brand :(
For me, every fragrances from this house is to-die-for

The top is okay, sort of like a more natural Cool Water, but the drydown...the DRYDOWN is magnificent. I can't describe it so you will just have to test it out yourself.

its a Wonderful fragrance and it turns heads but 2 over priced

Wonderful fragrance. Very nice smell. Similar to Cool Water but more better. High quality components. Amazing sillage and lasting power. In my top 5. A Masterpiece. 10/10

an unreal smell, very chic, modern, green, sofisticaded, and fresh, intense, one of the best from Creed man... a trully masterpiece, sofistication at its best......

one of the most natural smelling scents you can get. Masterfully blended. You can use it spring, summer, autumn, winter. For all occations. Always fresh and elegant. A real workhorse of a fragrance. A must have in every mans fragrance collection. A true legend!

i like it so much i wish i was a man to wear this. and since i know nothing about men scents, this doesn´t resemble to me nothing concrete, no cool water or something like that. however, it is a generic man scent, in a good sense. it is what you can smell every day around you but in a much much better way. really grate!

Bought this for my ex-boyfriend back then. He loved it sooo much, and i love it on him. Its pretty much similar to Davidoff's Cool Water, but it really takes Coolwater to a whole new level. It smells like the very upscale perfume that it is. Pretty expensive i'd say. A very masculine fragrance which alot of women adores; hence a great compliment-getter. Its not as casual as coolwater, so u probably want to save it for functions/events,etc and not for daily use.

If you love Cool water, u'll absolutely love this. However if u already own Cool water and is more than satisfied with it, i'd say try some different scents as this probably isnt worth your money.

Nonetheless if ure interested in getting something similar to coolwater but more complex and rich, then nothing's stopping you. Overall its a great masculine,matured,long-lasting perfume. I'll give it 4/5....

In my top three for spring, I call this one the king of spring. And no, I don't agree that it smells like cool water. Cool water smells more like an aquatic and this one is more of a green fragrance. I can see how they might smell similar on the top notes but then GIT seems like it gets even better while cool water stays linear. You can pull this one off all year round!

an absolutely sexy, aristocratic, sofisticade, and sexy perfume for a elegant, sporty, classic man, for everyone that have chic, elegant and aristocratic taste.. one of the best of creed.... many compliments from ladys and man.......

Green Irish Tweed is a fresh and green fragrance, it's probably a bit boring compared to other things, but it's still nice. I actually think it smells like men's Speed Stick (yes, all the Creed groupies will probably have their knickers in a twist over that comment). But for the price... I'm joining the others here in saying go with Cool Water.

This fragrance is very popular and for good reason. Its a very well made fragrance, and although most say it smells just like cool water, it doesnt. It does however have SOME similarity but as far as people saying it smells just like it, I will have to disagree. This fragrance is MUCH more natural than cool water. It has more green notes aswell, in other words, cool water is too basic. GIT explores more and goes deeper and smells far more unique throughout the day, coolwater just smells too simple and synthetic. GIT is a beautiful fragrance and was very well made. My new favorite along with Silver Mountain Water.

This is not an expensive cool water, cool water is a cheap, mimic, that wishes it were GIT. Cool water will never meet the quality, class, or standards of GIT, say what you like but GIT is worth every penny.

Really is a great classic fragrance. No if's, and's, or but's about it. It is still one of the best out their for a fresh everyday scent that projects respect. The mysore sandalwood is the key to this classic, its the highest quality sandalwood and my favorite ingredient in this potion. I would reccommend this for ages 25 and up. Overall 10/10.

I think many of people with very negative review here, bought a cheap bottle on eBay or somewhere else over the net. Too many false bottles on eBay especially.

Try a real online shop or pay the full price and you wont tell it smell like Cool Water anymore!

It have similarities yes, but never its the same and for sure a thousand times better than Cool Water! It's one of the longest lasting perfume I know and one of the classiest out there.

9/10

yes, it smells like coolwater. but this one is more beautiful, softer, and richer. is it overprized? surely yes. i guess i will stick to coolwater for daily activity.

Smells like a refined Cool Water. Very nice, but not worth the money! A little overpraised.

I like it, but to me it's nothing extremely special. I get a soapy green fresh kind of smell from it. It does have a nice classy feel, and as a subtle fragrance it's a good choice. But I don't like it enough to buy it

VERY EXPENSIVE COOLWATER!!!

SMELLS THE SAME. Maybe not at first, but the drydown is no different.
Coolwater actually lasts longer too.

Bought a sample, tried it and ...
A 100% waste of money. It STINKS!!!
Don't be led astray by all those frag "experts". They are simply hired by Creed.
Don't buy it! Awful! Yuck!

2nd bottle of creed.paid an arm & a leg for it.smells a lil like the 1st bottle of curve, MUCH cheaper. this is a lil better tho

The pompous and pretentious one for those who are seduced by SA bull.... about best quality natural ingredients and so on. This is a good example of people willing to pay 200$ up for somethig good but don't want to be the poor ass guy who wear cool water. Be smart buy the latter!
Original santal and vetiver are other very good example of this fraudulous speech made by this brand

Very nice but extremely expensive even at wholesale level which is a shame. I'd recommend ALL men to have a bottle of this in their collection. You will never go unnoticed especially to those who are well aware of what you're wearing. It's worth every penny. I LOVE it when my husband wears G.I.T (especially to public events and functions)....BUT.... I make sure not to show it or give too many compliments or else he'd be splashing it on everyday!!!

Its very green, fresh, natural, and sophisticated. Lasts a long time but its downfall is that it's expensive.

After completely trashing Creed and their awful Original Vetiver fragrance, I feel obligated to review GIT. Simply put, if I were told to pick only four fragrances to wear for the rest of my life, GIT would be on that short list (along with Equipage, L'Instant Homme and Eau Sauvage). The best way to describe this is that it's a lot like Cool Water, but less sweet, more masculine, muskier and with much higher quality materials. Go easy on the application, though, because it's loud and highly concentrated. GIT is the perfect foil to snooty Olivier Creed's absurd claim that fragrances with mostly natural materials are always superior to those with synthetics (in one interview, he equated perfumers who use lots of synthetics with line order cooks at Burger King). Creed is probably jealous because I've heard that GIT was created by Pierre Bourdon, not Olivier Creed, and is so much better than so many of his own creations (no great surprise then that he takes credit for creating GIT on Creed's website). GIT is obviously a primarily synthetic fragrance, and is no less for it at all. Worn sparingly, it is the pinnacle of good taste.

Ah but i think they've changed the bottle, now is trasparent . This fragrance is amazing but not long lasting on my skin

There's been a lot of talk on how GIT
presents similarities with Cool Water.
No, GIT takes of to a divine scent while
CW is an 80's synthetic fragrance, though for it's time was a break through. No similarities unless lavender smells like iris.

Anyway, for anyone wanting to try what
would be the fragrance of all time, should put his hand deep in his pocket and buy this juice.

The opening is a premiere of perfection while it
settle downs to a love of violet leaves and iris and the dry-down is sandalwood and ambergris. How he has worked the proportions of iris and ambergris is a masterpiece. Perfect.
The only disadvantage is the silage, it's low.
To put it simple, GIT is the gentleman's cologne.
This is how love smells.

This is one of my favorite colognes. Another fragrance by Creed that I like very much is Himalaya. They are both very expensive and classy. Green Irish Tweed is so much more than Cool Water by Davidoff. This has got to be one of the most magnificent and elegant fragrances.

I walked into the cologne store, hoping to find a smell that I am looking for in a very long time, not too strong, not too light ..kind of in the middle ..when I smelled Green Irish Tweed (for men), I just fell in love, this unique smell is long lasting and can wear it for any occasion, been getting complements from lots of people.

If you've smelled Cool Water by Davidoff, then you have a very good idea of what Green Irish Tweed smells like. Green, dark with a dull finish.
Very expensive, but worth it.

A soft green herbal fragrance, with a lightly sweet floral note of Iris in the top. A very smooth and light Vetiver note graces the heart. The base is woody, mostly Sandal. Very linear from start to finish. I have to use a lot to get good sillage and longevity. With a generous application, it lasts 6+ hours on me.

For me, what gives Green Irish Tweed it's "to die for" dry-down is the Mysore Sandalwood of the base. The Mysore wood is the best Sandalwood note I have ever smelled in a fragrance... clean, earthy, and slightly dry... magic to the nose.

I use it for daytime casual wear, designer casual (like a tweed sports coat worn with some Tab Twills casual), not for blue jeans and t-shirts. Fresh and natural, nothing synthetic. Very expensive. Indulge.

This is the world class EDT

i would recomend to everybody this is the one. i had tryed almost all the EDT but this is the one..

Legendary fragrance worn by many famous people past and present. Very expensive though
