Tweed Lentheric for women

The vintage version of Tweed is really something very special. I don't know the new one but the original is certainly unique and smells like nothing else. A great fragrant woody for autumn/winter -- reminiscent of English country houses and the smell of leather saddles.

Way too much "floral" going on there...not smooth but too extremely "sharp" for me...

Unusual, bracing, not a fruit or a flower or a wad of cotton candy note in it. It's hard to describe, but I love it just because it's so unique in the world of perfumes. I have a vintage bottle of cologne and I wear it in the heat of summer when anything sweet and trendy would just gag me. Somehow, it gives me confidence! (Silly thing to say about perfume...) I never really knew what went into this scent till I came here because information on old retro Tweed is so scarce, I always noticed lavendar and maybe patchouli - I was right!

I just received my vintage bottle. I find it a wonderful woody scent perfect for Fall. The sillage is average but the longevity is good.I don't think it smells dirty, geriatric, or like the scent of moth balls. I sincerely wish certain reviewers would find other descriptions more PC than "old lady" and "over 75". Do they think that all seniors have horrible taste? Bad taste has nothing to do with age. It can afflict any age... shockingly, even the so called hip young.

What confuses me is Tweed is under three perfume houses:

Lentheric
Yardley
Fine Fragrances and Cosmetics

I know Lentheric is now under Fine Fragrance and Cosmetics but where does Yardley come into this picture? I just ordered a large bottle from an English site on eBay. I also ordered a large bottle of Yardley English Lavendar EDT from the same dealer. Postage is steep, but the prices were most reasonable.

I completely agree with "Oliver6627" in that Tweed smells Dirty , Urinious and Ill add ,musty/mothball , charity shop clothes to that rank fetid mixture too!!!

1000X Yak ,,,,, Just foul .

Sorry Tweed fans , I'm intrigued by the reformulation aspect , I can remember my gran wearing it and it was a comforting , autumnal scent .........That must of been the original "Vintage" version she wore.

The version which is still cheaply available today though , sorry i find it absolutely acrid , foul and stale. (I had a quick sniff the other day as im training my nose to recognise different notes and styles you see , i am learning so much here on this site! )

I want to like it as it is an English classic , and i love all things English , but this is a No No.

PS- I do like the notes used , and i do like "green" "autumnal" scents ....just not this one. Old fashioned , but id like to smell the original.

Why do frag houses have to reformulate all the time? They should listen to the collective online consensus, and LEAVE THINGS ALONE !

As they say here in England , If its not broke don't fix it !!

1/10 for nostalgia value only

NO wonder why its cheap in chemists and online.

I cant see why anyone under 75 would want to wear this

im reviewing this perfume purely because i remember my mum and my grandmother wearing this perfume and its strange because tweed is woody and musk which is the type of perfumes that i prefer i wonder if it is because you remember certain perfume smells ?
anyway i wouldnt wear this as i think its better worn by the slightly more mature lady and what i mean by that it doesnt represent a young perfume ,,but yes always worn by mum and nan so i remember this being given to them as gifts and that at christmas !

The Tweed today is not the marvelous
fragrance of 1933. I'd give anything is Lentheric unearthed their original recipe. It's so sad that it's gone. I bought reformed Tweed, but it's not Tweed. 10/14/10

panache it tramp didn't these belong to
this fragrance house?

Bought this three weeks ago.It is woodsy and musty a very outdoorsy smell. I love it but it is not the same as it was thirty years ago.

I tried this oft overlooked and readily available fragrance and it's actually a really classic, very English smell. It is classy, warm and not so strong that it feels intrusive. It does have a slight dustiness to it, but then I like that- it gives it 'atmosphere' somehow. A library, an autumn woodland, the corridors of a stately home; woody and sensual. Don't know if I'd buy it as I find similarities in my La Perla and Femme which I also love.

I was given the pure perfume in a slender silver tube with a fine glass wand on my twenty first birthday in 1969. It felt ice cold on my skin and smelled clean, beautiful, bright and totally unique. I have carried the scent in my head for the past forty years and never found anything to equal it. The Tweed you can buy today is a totally different matter altogether. It smells earthy, urinous and dirty. I live in hope that before I die will discover something which smells as sublime as the original pure perfume.

Tweed is the perfect name for this English icon of feminine scent! Not a demure single floral or a frantic mix a la trend, Tweed is remniscent of an autumn stroll through wooded glens filled with golden light and crisp dried leaves, rich and earthy. Its spices and woods are not for every woman, but I adore it and have worn it for thirty years without tiring of its distinctive aura. A must-try for outdoorsy yet sensuous types!

This was given to me by my Aunt who doesn't like wearing fragrances. I actually have the original bottle from the 40's and 50's. The perfume surprisingly has not gone off. Even though it is a mature scent, I often wear this to bed or around the house. It's a slightly musty, woodsy scent with a slight tartyness. I'm probably making this scent sound horrible, but it really isn't that bad. I've certainly smelt worse.
