What a perfume! Spotless, rich, and masculine (green, haha, what a discovery…). It resembles CW a little, but L’Aventure K by AH comes closer to this jewel. Although its performance is low (hopefully reaching seven hours, with one hour of good projection), the quality of the scent makes it worthy of a place in the collection. Perfect for summer and mid-seasons. If you have the money for luxury, go for it. Rating: 8.9/10.
My favourite Creed perfume. It’s been a while since I smelled something that addicted me so much. A clean, masculine aroma that radiates a responsible and charismatic man who knows what he’s doing. It’s fresh/green, quite linear but of wonderful quality. Every time I smell it, it evokes a hill with trees and a view of the sea with the breeze; it’s super addictive and not at all retro (even though it’s from the 80s). Recommended 100%.
Green Irish Tweed is by Creed and aims to be the essence of spring. However, it is another perfume that has seen its performance drop since its creation. It is a woody classic where violet and sandalwood stand out. It doesn’t smell old; rather, the brand reformulated it to keep it current and appealing without losing its notes. Longevity hasn’t changed much, but in 2023 the projection is weaker. I’m not saying you can’t smell it from a metre away, but on skin it is shorter. Previously, with six sprays it reached a metre for half an hour before dropping to 15cm for three hours; now it’s barely noticeable at 5cm until ten hours. I think Creed lowered quality/concentration to maintain the price, which is poor strategy if you sell quality and tradition. Is it pleasant and elegant? Yes. Is it weak after the fourth hour? Also, because if someone at home puts on Nenuco, they will laugh at your projection within an hour. You’ll have to reapply. In short, it is a good perfume but with short reach; you decide if it’s worth the price. As always, test on skin before buying niche.
A masterpiece, within the top 5 of the best perfumes in history.
I bought Tres Nuit by Armaf because people said it was an identical clone, and after trying the original, I confirm they are incredibly similar, smelling almost the same. But the big difference is the naturalness: Armaf smells chemical and generic, whereas Creed feels the quality, with more defined and well-blended aromas. Personally, I like neither; they come across as generic and feminine, I’m not sure if it’s something I got used to smelling as a child, but I don’t feel masculine with either.
Love at first sniff. It has become one of my top 5: a dark, addictive, and sophisticated masculine floral. The longevity and projection are incredible. It is expensive but worth it. I recommend trying it before buying.
For me, it is the best perfume that exists: fresh, elegant, and casual. In my case, it fills the whole house and continues to project strongly for over five hours with just two sprays.
Far and away the best perfume ever created. Perfect for a suit or shirt, for looking impeccably dressed. It is maximum elegance. Clones or inspirations, no matter what they say, do not resemble it. Unique.
I was looking for a distinct citrus scent and stumbled upon something herbal and green, like a natural park that blends beautifully. The dry-down with iris is complex to explain but it works. Ideal for almost everyone except the very young; if you like greens, it’s a good option despite the cost. I tried it because a relative bought it blindly and didn’t like it either, so I can’t see myself using it as it’s not my style, but those who adore the herbal notes will love it.
Spraying is travelling to the tranquility of Irish pastures and their cliffs. Green Irish Tweed is excellent, green, fresh, reminding me of grass wet by dew and sun in a spring morning, quite peculiar. For a simple scent, I believe it contains more notes than declared; I perceive metallic lavender, a slight touch of green mandarin peel and petitgrain, perhaps imagination, but it recalls fougères like Calvin Klein Eternity or Chanel Egoiste Platinum. It bears a huge resemblance to Davidoff Cool Water, especially earlier formulations; in GIT there is a more natural landscape, less sharp, more powdery and soapy, reminiscent of Irish Spring soap and Rexona Efficient talcum upon exit. It changes little over the hours, but in the dry down the ambergris/ambroxan appears, adding marine and deep nuances, becoming more masculine. It is perfect for the office, lasting 5 hours on skin and 8 on clothes, projecting well for the first 2, then intimate. It smells clean, fresh, herbal, very masculine, inspiring a walk through the Irish countryside with grey skies and rain. It suits perfectly in the rain. It is incredible, I use it more for myself than for others. Rating 9/10.
A total blast, phenomenal. Long may this perfume flourish!
He didn’t exaggerate when he said it’s ideal for the office. It is exquisite, a pleasure for the nose, enveloping you with an elegant scent for 8 hours a day. And believe me, two sprays on the jacket and the smell concentrates in the wardrobe for a week. I am fascinated and enjoy my sophisticated Creed Green Irish Tweed, of spectacular quality. Regards.
If Green Irish Tweed were an actor, it would be Robert De Niro. Remember his golden era in Taxi Driver or The Godfather? An icon of elegance and roughness, with a charisma that commanded respect. Then came Dirty Grandpa and questionable films where he seemed to be cashing in on his legacy. GIT reminds me of that: it started as a benchmark, a jewel, but over the years it lost its shine, relying on its fame and its Creed lineage. The name is apt: upon application, it assaults you with the Irish countryside, green hills, cloudy skies, and a breeze carrying wet herbs. The verbena gives a clean, citrusy freshness, like morning dew. The violets add an ozonic touch, that damp mountain air. The musk brings earthy and mineral depth, evoking dirt paths. It is comforting, elegant, and refreshing. Yet, it’s hard not to think we’ve heard it before; the innovative became common. Unlike other greens, GIT is an expert in moderation. It projects to about two metres, enough to be noticed without being intrusive. Its discreet elegance remains winning. In 2024, there are cheaper fragrances with greater impact. The scent doesn’t develop much; what you smell at the start is what you have after 5-6 hours. It is linear, but maintains distinction for formal events or work, though it isn’t memorable for a romantic night. Lovers call it an timeless masterpiece, but for today it seems a good classic. I like it as I enjoy De Niro in mediocre films: nostalgia with certainty of better times. The similarity with Davidoff Cool Water is inevitable, its accessible and marine brother; both are green and fresh, though Cool Water is more aquatic and less earthy moss. There is also Armaf Tres Nuit, a close imitation in quality but with less refinement in transitions. GIT is linear and balanced, Tres Nuit fades quickly. The resemblance is notable, but in subtle details like ingredient quality and smoothness, Creed makes the difference, though perhaps not to justify the price against clones.
This is the best Creed fragrance by far, and I won’t argue. Green Irish Tweed is the god of perfumes, the perfume for real men.
I don’t know why, but the scent is very similar to Victorinox Swiss Army, yet it’s not bad at all.
It smells of grass, of pine in northern England. A exquisite perfume to my taste, although the one that has generated the most anti-compliments in my life. Excellent performance for 12 hours and a moderate trail. A good option for cold climates.
I entered the world of perfumes less than two years ago; previously, I only had three ADGs for going out, The One by D&G for dates, and one catalogue scent. Until I stumbled upon a decant and review page on YouTube, where certain fragrances were constantly mentioned, so I bought three decants, including this masterpiece. At first, it turned my nose up; it smelled like cemetery flowers or a dead rose; it didn’t smell bad, but it just didn’t suit my style. I almost gave it away, but I kept it, waiting for the right occasion. With time, training my nose with many perfumes and developing a taste for leathers, greens, citrus, and vintage/fougère scents such as Quorum, Azzaro PH, Ted Lapidus PH, Kouros, and Beau de Jour, I tried it again a month ago. No… no. Summing it up in three words is sacrilege, but Fresh, floral, green. An opening that fills you with an inexplicable green elegance, of class and sheer freshness. It transports you to a place full of grass and flowers. It’s madness; it has become one of my favourites, especially in this heat. It has become my mantra.
In my city, it gets very hot; we reach 45 degrees and only have two months of cold, so I look for fresh fragrances. This is a gem. It’s herbal; I imagine a green Irish field on a cloudy morning. I wear it in the evening or at night with a short-sleeved black shirt; it’s incredible. I also wore it to breakfast with a girl on a mild morning and it made me look great; she complimented me and I could smell myself throughout the date, feeling like the most handsome man in the place. It empowers me incredibly. 10/10, I think it’s the best of Creed, a perfume from 40 years ago that doesn’t smell like a 40-year-old. A 25-year-old or older would wear it: you smell like a good perfume, not like a dazzling Christmas tree, but like a neat, stylish man. The longevity is about six hours, perfect for dates in the heat or outings with friends. It’s totally friendly; it doesn’t bother anyone even if you overapply it.
I agree with kerpin’s review. It seems tremendously balanced and elegant. I could quite easily make it my only fragrance, although for the heat I’d reach for the Millesime Imperial, which is more marine and fruity. Those two would be more than enough.
According to ‘The Ghost Perfumer’, Pierre Bourdon created the formula and Olivier Creed paid him in bespoke suits; Davidoff later developed it into Cool Water. Creed would buy briefs rejected by giants like Dior or Lancôme, and this GIT was one of them. Davidoff, then almost solely a tobacco company, had faith in that strange scent and nailed it with one of the best-selling fragrances, marking the use of calone. Leaving the historical mess aside, my experience: my father bought it for me to test on my arm. The ingredient quality is on another level, far superior to Cool Water. According to the boutique in Mexico, it opens with mint, verbena, lemon, bergamot, and galbanum; the heart features geranium, lavender, and violet; and the base has sandalwood, cedar, ambroxan, and oakmoss. What strikes me is the verbena, cleverly layered with two nuances: herbal/citric with hints of lavender and basil. I wonder how they make it skin-safe despite it being phototoxic (edit: it’s petitgrain simulating it). The citrus notes are opulent and natural. The mint is imperceptible, while the galbanum delivers that formidable green tone. The violet leaves peek through brilliantly. I don’t detect iris, though it’s rare in natural perfumes; if present, it adds a spiced, creamy, buttery nuance, nothing powdery. I also can’t smell the geranium or lavender. In the base, there’s coumarin giving undeclared dry tobacco, light oakmoss, aromatic sandalwood, and ambroxan almost on top of everything, lending a marine aura and a clean white musk. I assume it has salty components. Contrary to what people say, it’s not so formal; I use it as a Swiss Army knife in any weather, except extreme cold or intense heat, with a polo and jeans. It’s not unisex, but it requires personality. If you feel uncomfortable, stay away. It’s one of my favourites and it’s in my collection. Edit 2: The ingredients are top-notch, but the price is prohibitive and the presentation mediocre for that cost. Creed costs more than Amouage and comes in cheap boxes. I wouldn’t recommend buying it unless your wallet is made of cello strings.
It could be the most versatile perfume in the world, even if it is for people over 30. It is the opposite of modern masculine perfumery with its sweetness. Advantages: women of all ages like it, it is ultra-versatile and stands out from mass-market perfumes. Disadvantages: high price for daily use, it is very similar to the 20€ Cool Water and its performance is slightly low.
It delivers what it promises: a walk through a damp countryside with a marine breeze. Addictive, elegant and serene. Ingredients of another category. It evokes a conciliatory and diplomatic man. It has a vintage air but is timeless. Although it sounds like Cool Water at first, they are different fragrances. A 10/10; the hype is justified.
The first time I thought: ‘This elevates your class by a couple of rungs’. It is fresh, green and charming, making me feel clean and noble. But not everything shines: I sprayed it at 10 yesterday and by 12:30 it was skin scent. It lasted until 5. A fleeting and discreet wonder.
I don’t like it because it smells too much of fresh green forest, but I give it a 9/10 because a girl I liked at school complimented me on wearing it.
It won me over gradually. It is versatile, elegant and an all-rounder. More refined and green than Davidoff’s Cool Water, without that marine touch. I think it is perfect for unisex wear and warm afternoons. It is not a powerhouse projection, but it creates an aura that accompanies you for 3 or 4 hours. I will be emptying the bottle soon.
Fresh and clean, so much so that it reminds me of Ariel soap. It is very similar to Davidoff’s Cool Water, but without that soapy note and with better longevity.
It won my heart instantly. Simple, green, fresh and classic, yet unique. It brightens the day and charms everyone. It is a Swiss Army knife for any occasion or weather. Versatile, elegant and fresh. I recommend it wholeheartedly as one of my favourites.
My absolute favourite from Creed. Timeless, natural, and with flawless execution that is both enchanting and addictive. It breaks the mould without fuss: elegant without being ostentatious. It evokes a dense Irish forest, white cliffs, and wet moss under the sun. It is the fragrance of a proper gentleman who blends tradition and modernity with natural ease.
A mature citrus that is neither floral nor earthy, but rather crushed leaves with flowers. It starts cloying and doesn’t evolve much beyond the softness of amber and sandalwood. Lacks mint or apple. For now, I prefer Jean Pascal’s pine.
Smells like the most common supermarket detergent. If you like it, buy fabric softener for a fraction of the price and forget about this one.
This perfume is a well-held vintage and isn’t for anyone who compares it to detergent and says it has nothing to do with it. These friends don’t know about perfumery and think smelling a clone is very similar to the original… well, they are very wrong. The opening, phew, yes, it’s green and strong, like freshly cut grass and freshly squeezed lemon peel, although lemon isn’t declared in the notes. The wonder is in the drying… In my opinion, it’s not for everyone, these fragrances are for well-trained noses that know how to taste a good perfume.
Tested in a perfumery on skin and paper and on a tester. It’s understandable the fame, a very natural and green scent that feels refined and has a lot of resemblance to Cool Water, especially when dried, although it’s for a refined nose and always feels superior. It could pass as a perfume made last year, it doesn’t smell ancient at all. Longevity and projection very decent, feeling until the next day; Creed perfumes with Ambroxan usually perform well. Perfume for those who value good scents and refined palates.
Regarding performance, I confirm it’s excellent. Today 3 sprays on the neck at 10am. It’s 8pm and I’m still getting bursts when I move, light but noticeable. Batch F. I read complaints about Creed’s performance, which, honestly, I don’t understand. None of the ones I have perform badly.
Excellent quality as this house has accustomed us to, very green, the violet leaf is felt a lot accompanied by a very slight sweetness that I imagine must be ambergris. In me, honestly, I don’t feel it as timeless, the truth is it does give me that classic and eighties feeling, but watch out, it doesn’t smell old. I like it quite a bit but not enough to pay what it costs; I’d rather pass this time.
The opening is fresh and herbal, but when it dries and passes a minute, it’s identical to Cool Water. I wouldn’t wear it again because I feel it’s for someone over 35. It’s very versatile, used in all seasons.
Mention something interesting: although it is perceived as superior quality to the Davidoff and has a formidable and natural opening, after ten minutes both smell almost identical. Most people can’t distinguish them, and being an expert, if they aren’t side by side, they smell the same when dried. It is wise to change one’s mind: the Creed is formidable, but I don’t recommend buying it when there are better niche perfumes for less money. It’s a designer-type composition with a premium price. The presentation at that price is an insult. Even if it smells excellent, the price isn’t justified. The book ‘The Ghost Perfumer’ clarifies several things about the brand. Anyway: correcting errors, yes, it contains a molecule of ‘iris’ (in Spanish it’s ‘lily’, better to use that), although not natural, so yes, it has the note. I don’t know where they got that the geranium is from China; it’s Bourbon Geranium, from islands like Réunion or Madagascar. Regarding rose/geranium, it carries a Damascena that leans towards geranium due to the Bourbon oil, so it’s not pink rose. Also, that part is barely perceptible. Likewise, I perceive more than the sandalwood, the Ambrofix, the tobacco from residual coumarin from various herbs, synthetic oakmoss. Also: I consider that the gas chromatography analysis might not be the original formula. I recommend informing yourself more before judging. Best wishes.
Male perfume, green and fresh. It’s clean, elegant and mature but doesn’t smell old; it’s timeless. Yes, it’s noticeable that it’s the inspiration for Davidoff’s Cool Water, a lot, but there are differences. The ingredients, mostly synthetic, would give a green and fresh cologne, but this has more things so it doesn’t smell so simple. It’s basically herbal, it doesn’t carry iris but does have synthetic molecules that add a powdery touch without smelling like iris. The elegant touch comes from a rose and a geranium (in the original formula from China), but for me what elevates it is an exquisite sandalwood that when dried forms a base that accompanies and velvetises the whole. Clean and elegant, totally versatile in climates and circumstances. Perhaps the limit is age; I don’t see it for too young people. The composition and olfactory quality are superb, and aside from personal taste, it’s a classic in perfumery history.
Very elegant and masculine; I don’t understand why among the main chords they leave the green so low when it’s what predominates most. It’s a very mature and good scent, I received many compliments, but I still think it’s a Davidoff Light Blue with steroids.
I’ll be brief: you have two options with this perfume. 1: Believe the snob who says it has nothing to do with Cool Water and smells refined for unicorn noses. 2: Accept that once it dries, it’s practically identical, with notes of ‘better quality’ only if you look hard enough. I adore Cool Water and this one too, but for the price, it makes no sense. That said, the Creed lasts longer, but with the price of Cool Water, I could spray it 30 times a day and not care.
If you’re a Creed collector, you must own it, but olfactorily and as a proposition, I don’t recommend it. It smells super vintage, with green and talcum-like touches where the violet is noticeable, but it is very classic. Luckily I bought a sample; given the price and quality, a dupe would be better.
