Don't buy Green Irish Tweed Limited Edition!

Hey guys:

I got a swap sample pack in the mail yesterday from my buddy/ fellow basenoter Kerosene.
It included 4 samples: Bulgari Black, Diesel Zero Plus Masculine, Burberry The Beat and also an added bonus. I got this little baggie with a vial inside that said Green Irish Tweed Limited Edition. I did a quick little swap haul vid on Youtube about my samples, thinking little about the matter. However, comments starting rolling in. People wanted to know what
GIT limited smelled like compared to the original. Well, I ended up doing a comparison vid later in the evening as well. My findings were quite interesting. The Limited Edition smelled familar. I was pretty sure that it was Brut. I know that Kerosene has a strange sense of humor and also keeps a full bottle of Brut in his collection. So it all makes sense to me now. Still waiting for Kerosene to fess up and tell me if this is actually the case.
Anyway, if it is, then I'm at least glad that my brain was able to sort this out and not go insane and declare this the greatest flanker ever made.

Do me a favor. Don't "make" me any samples of Secretions Magnifique. Also, please cancel my
order for the oriental woody sampler pack.

I'm just glad he didn't use Preferred Stock. I had so much laying around, I pitched some of it. I haven't had Brut in quite awhile, so at least I have one more for the 'drobe.

I see a lot of people looking at this thread and saying how they don't "get it". I even got a private message asking for an explanation. I guess if this thread doesn't make sense, you should get on youtube to watch my videos. My site is www.youtube.com/user/bpwool. I did a swap haul video regarding some samples, including a vial of "Green Irish Tweed Limited Edition". I read the comments and was asked to review or compare it with the original GIT. I then did another video about Limited Edition where I came to the conclusion that Kerosene pulled a practical joke on me and the viewers by using Brut as the actual fragrance. Anybody that has watched Kerosene's fragrance channel knows that he is a cedar note short of a woody chypre, or however basenoters call someone looney tunes these days.

They say having your mom immortilized in a fragrance is the sincerest form of flattery.

I don't know the background information to this so I'm probably missing the joke.

All I got to say is that if I received and dabbed myself with an unknown substance from an internet contact and only getting cryptic replies with regard to its actual content, I'd be creeped out. I'd probably send the sample to a lab for identification of any potential unsanitary or pathogenic content.

Im for the most part harmless. And have tons of people that can verify that. I'd never do anything malicious.

Brad,
You are right he has Brut but don't see the GIT Limited Edition, so I believe you guessed it right on. That is just hilarious. I hope you did not pay for your sample of GIT Limited Edition. LOL

Kerosene is just trying to pull a friend's leg. There is nothing wrong with that. Apparently, Brad knows Kerosene well enough to know he is a practical Joker. A joke between friends is just that. There is something wrong with that. What is wrong is when you cannot laugh at yourself. That is what Brad is doing, sharing a laugh with us.

It's been quite awhile since I've actually smelled Brut, but I get a definite Brut vibe here. Maybe Kerosene added a bit of something else like Curve or even his dreaded Aqua H2O. In any case, he may take his formulation to the grave. I will add that I feel honored to be one of a select few basenoters deemed worthy of a vial sample. The fact that I was able to discuss this on Youtube is a double bonus. No more empty hits on Youtube when you type "Green Irish Tweed Limited Edition".

I don't get the logical jump from my comment to yours. I said nothing about practical jokes being wrong. And my point had nothing to do with taking yourself seriously or not.
