Green Irish Tweed (1985)
by Creed

Well, whenever i come across a new scent, i hope it's something which i have never smelled before, something unique; i didnt get tht feel when i sniffed GIT, same thin happened when i sniffed Chanel PM, but then i thought, maybe the scents im referrin to were inspired by these. another aspect which i noticed only recently was that it was released in 1985, now was'nt tht the era of heavyweights and intense perfumes?

GIT is never too loud and is a classy scent with subtle developments. Though the opening is citrus based, this one's tempered with something very musky sweet, almost powdery quality, somethin in the vain of CK be. Some notes in it, never allows the citrus to add its brightness. the base is again a very comforting musky, ambery drydown. also, something about GIT has a "cooling" effect to it, cant really put my finger on it..

This is definitely for someone who is not looking to gather attention, but will still do in a very nice way. nothing in it can possibly offend anyone, i guess it's in its simplicity of design, comfort and wearability that GIT has won over. is it worth the price, well, very subjective... but i find this one very wearable on a daily basis, something i could comfortably wear in front of my CEO, i only wish i could afford it time to time. :)

there are some notes in it which is very common used in deodrants, hence the familiarity. similarity to CW lasts for 5 mins and not anythin beyond that, the Violets have been treated with so much finesse and Subtlety here, unlike CW where its loud and brash. so, for those who are not trying this one out thinking it CW, please reconsider. CW is really nowhere close to GIT.

GIT last over 4 hours on me which is enjoyable, thereafter moderate sillage.

WOW! I purchased this on the reviews alone, and man, I am amazed and glad that I did! It has a very fresh scent, with a slight citrus note. I think one of the reviews said that it smelled like tweed, it does! Mix freshly laundered petticoats with a freshly shaven man who has just come in from the rain, that's Green Irish Tweed. It also has a very classy smell as well.

I continue to smell my arm just because it's one of those smells that not only commands attention, but it's one that I would like to cuddle up with on a warm summer day. This fragrance turns heads, and is a keeper for me.

I'll be honest; I don't like this. It just isn't my genre. I didn't try it on my skin; it might do something magic there, but it would have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to make me want to wear it. I'm not getting any of the listed notes. Without looking, I thought it was ozonic. It was so airy, so intense, so persistent. I thought maybe it had a bit of lavendar or herbs. After I read the notes, I might agree with violet leaves, which are rather sharp and vegetal, but more salty in my opinion. This fragrance is so big and airy it's almost windy, or even watery. It's definitely masculine. I didn't enjoy it.

One of my favourites. Has a bit of a reputation as being passe to perfume collectors in the way that Cool Water is passe to everyone else but it will still be very individual to 99% of people you meet in the 'real world'.
Similarities to Cool Water are more pronounced for the first hour, after that, GIT definitely has a more complex middle and base that warms very nicely.
As close to a fragrance that can be worn any time of day, any time of year as there is.

Beautifully constructed, paramount sillage and longevity, amazing smell. Not much can be said of the way it smells than what has been said. And yes, it is reminiscent of Cool Water at the start. Irrelevant. Smells way better than Cool Water anyway. Not Creed's best, but it's so popular because it is so good.

THIS IS AN AMAZING FRAGRANCE.BUT LONGEVITY IS NOT GOOD.IT ONLY LAST 10 MINUITES TOPS ON ME.SO ITS NOT WORTH THE PRICE.
