Green Irish Tweed by Creed

Firstly, GIT is an amazing frag. Addictive, alluring and refreshing. The opening is fantastic - reminds me of Sherbet Lemon's - a delicately balanced mixture of intense lemon and green undertones. This opening is so good that it smells edible to me. I just want to lick myself when I spray on GIT, it really is that intense.
After the opening comes an incredible green drydown which is good but never really matches the opening for me as the lemon (my fave note) seems to ebb away.

Comparisions to cool water are justified but GIT is just in a completely different class. Cool water is very short lived in comparison to GIT. I own both and I do like cool water but it is a long way off the high std set by GIT.

One thing I think some creeds get unfairly punished for is poor longevity - the problem is that the initial strength is so great that the drydown can seem weak but when I compared creed longevity to run of the mill frags the creed fruity / green / marine drydowns lasted lomger then their rivals and were only bested by silage monsters like Gucci Pour Homme which lasts forever on me.
