|  This smells "good", is pleasant, and inoffensive (to parrot everybody else, I guess). Back in 1987, I bet this was a big hit; it countered all the masculine scents that were reminiscent of burning hair and gorilla urine. Possibly even good enough to justify the price. A trusty standby. 04 February 2010 |

|  A solid business meeting/board of trustees fragrance for me. Near universal in its appeal, well-made to a fault, and utterly "safe" in almost any setting. Not particularly exciting, but yes it really is just as comfy and dependable as that old tweed sport coat in my closet. Green Irish Tweed is widely imitated and overexposed, but still enormously useful. Amazing sillage, though little lasting power. The latter trait doesn't bother me, since I consider this scent strictly daytime and will almost always put on something more challenging at night. 23 December 2009 |

|  I would have given this elegant, refined, upmarket fragrance 5 stars, but the price deminished the appeal. This is a superior fragrance in every way. From the bottling, markings, application, wearing, dry-down, longevity and sillage. Its a traditional scent that cannot be matched, incomparable. It has a wholesome, clean, fresh and airy whiff when applied. The perfume is stable, balanced, and warms with time. Super longevity, quality ingredients and prduced with a legendary reputation for exactness. This is not for your average teenie-bopper, collegiate Greek, or the great unwashed masses. It is expensive, and it demonstrates the cost by projecting an incredibly beguilling and gripping scent. The lemon and verbena is fine on opening and remain fresh through dry down, the iris gives it and understated middle floral and a touch of enchanting sandalwood and inscrutable ambergis base give it a longlasting foundation. Highly recommend this classic to everyone. 23 November 2009 |

|  IMO, the florals in the mid are what really makes this shine. It took me quite some time to appreciate this. I always thought it "smelled good" but we all know that's only a small part of it. I had to get to know this a little better and now really appreciate the beautiful florals that make this one shine. I do think (in contrary to a large amount of members) that most of the Creeds seem to get better with age. I have owned 4 bottles of GIT, with my current one being from 2005 and it is the oldest I have ever owned. As I have also found with MI, GIT seems to get richer and deeper with age. I am not sure GIT is deserving of all of the hype it gets but it is a great frag that can fill a lot of voids when asked. 19 November 2009 |

|  This scent is perplexing. I have read so many odes of praise and many comparisons to Cool Water. Thank goodness I only spent $20 on samples. It does smell Green but it does not smell particularly good. For a Creed frag it comes off surprisingly synthetic. Cool Water seems more approachable and gets way more compliments. This is not a bad cologne. It is just not special at all. Really surprising. By contrast By Man (D&G) also has a lot of hype surrounding it but as a heady, interesting, and long lasting frag it deserves it. 04 November 2009 |
