Creed Green Irish Tweed 🍀(1985) March 1st is official GIT day!

[@Daniel-w3f9j]

Fun fact: Since 1996 as part of Ireland`s citizenship test, candidates must do a blindfolded comparison-test between the irish countryside and GIT.

I have an F batch and I love it. My favorite fragrance by a long shot. And I think of it as a purple fragrance as well with the forward iris/violet/lavender notes. Just exquisite. I don't get any mint at all. Must be a supporting note, maybe to give it an airy quality.

[@RamseytheRam]

I don't get much mint either Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻

Nice job. I began wearing GIT in the mid 90s. I got it from N-M and if I recall, it was about $275. It was and remains timeless. It’s about the time of year when I begin thinking about the dna, and GIT started it all! Thanks for adding to my info bank.

[@SirVicc]

Followup to my last comment. I have an F batch and recently got a chance to acquire a 2016 120ml pre-Blackrock bottle of GIT at a decent price and had to jump on it. Tested it today compared to the newer bottle and expected a bit of a difference AND... They are effectively the same. Same opening. Same middle and drydown. Same longevity and strength. There are ever so slight differences that could be tricks of the mind, or that the older atomizer pushes a bit more juice, or maybe the newer one is fresher. I thought the opening of the 2016 might be a tad stronger (atomizer pushing more juice), after about a half hour the older one was maybe a bit more earthy and green, but barely. The sparkly aspect went a bit longer on the newer batch. But all of this is smelling skin and looking for minutia. In the air, the same. The newer batches, at least F000 is every bit as good. At least I got to double my Green Irish Tweed supply.

[@RamseytheRam]

Great info thanks for sharing ... 👍🏻

[@davidelwin2874]

I managed to score a 120ml 2014 bottle, I don’t know about you but about 45minutes in I get a slight leather note similar to OG Fahrenheit I think it may have something to do with the violet? I’m loving it. Great review bro.

[@RamseytheRam]

Probably the violet leaf 🍃 Giving you an association smell...it's very interesting how we all perceive fragrances different...but there is something around that 45 min mark that smells ever so slightly dirty... the hard-core Creed heads would say that's the real Ambergris 🤷🏻‍♂️ But for me, in a fragrance that smells so clean that shadow of dirt is genius 🧠

[@JigSawGaming]

GIT was my signature for 2 years. For me this is the Crown of Creed...not Aventus. Such a beautifully constructed fragrance

[@RamseytheRam]

Pierre Bourdon is a master 💪🐏

[@JigSawGaming]

@@RamseytheRam i would've loved to see more of his work, but he retired? i m not quite sure

[@JT-rx1eo]

@JigSawGaming Yes Pierre Bourdon has retired. He has left behind some notable apprentices in the industry though. Such as Jean-Christoph Herault, the true perfumer of Aventus.

I love the use of the word "arborial." 🍋🌿 I totally get that from cis-3-hexen-1-ol. Was my second fav from the brand for a long while before being deposed by Royal Oud. But the old juice still in my top 3. Certainly paved the way for 'a new era of freshness.' 😆 A springtime icon.

[@RamseytheRam]

Indeed Doni... well said as usual my friend 🤜🤛🏻

[@howyoudoin1234567]

The peppermint accord you're referring to is new to the note pyramid. Creed updated their note breakdowns on the official website several months ago. Prior to that, all the formulas appeared to be different. I wonder if the F batches brought in modified formulas. Great review as always!

[@RamseytheRam]

Oh wow interesting... I saw a video from AC that he posted a few years ago where he mentioned the peppermint note being new... so i think it's something within the last 2 or 3 years 🤔

The best fragrance on the planet besides Areej and ensar options. Tonkin no 2 is my new fav, god forgive the wallet, got several bottles of GIT, GIT is all season wear. 4-5 sprays, 7 if you want the mall to smell it, love it that much. Love your vids Ramsey, first time comment. Love ensars and Areej lately, ensar Tonkin no 2 is my newf fav. Surpasses Royal rod. Royal oud and oud Zhen from Areej is the best oud mix with cedar and spice, god bless everyone

[@RamseytheRam]

I would love to smell that Tonkin no 2 one day So many Ensars I still haven't smelled Thanks for commenting for the first time 🙏

Good on you two 🐏🦆 for giving this one it's deserved, and apropos, day on the calendar. Like very many, GIT opened the fragrance rabbit hole beyond the glass countertops for me. I'll don him this evening (SOTD - Meidum by Nilafar du Nil ) 🙏✌

My first niche and will always have this in my collection. Currently working with an 09 bottle. I tried an 18 bottle and it was definitely lacking depth. Great review as usual sir. 💪

[@JT-rx1eo]

Green Irish Tweed is my April 1st and St. Patrick's Day SOTD. Ill wear it tomorrow too. My first sniff of GIT? I didn't like it. But it grew VERY fast on me and VERY far for me. Currently my #10 fave overall. Over 300 bottles.

[@RamseytheRam]

I could totally see that for what I know of your taste JT

[@Kirillbeback]

GIT was my first “niche” perfume back in 2002… it blew my mind at that time and sent me on a creed sniffing spree. I then ended up purchasing Erolfa (which was much darker and briny in its opening and had more depth to it), himalaya, smw and acier aluminium - which didn’t smell like anything from 2000s or popular at that time, but I ended up loving it the most - I would just hose myself down with it until I was completely enveloped in its metallic banana note - that will forever be etched in my brain as an NYC night out - great memories… and today, I’m wearing and loving my GIT again, in celebration of the official holiday!

[@RamseytheRam]

That's awesome I have reviewed Acier Aluminum on the channel as well.. I absolutely love it and so blessed to have half a bottle left Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻

[@Kirillbeback]

⁠@@RamseytheRamunfortunately the AA lost it bite around 2017 when they reformulated its base (and later discontinued it) and, I suspect, removed the oakmoss… I bought a half of a flacon of a 17x batch and the top is glorious, but it has absolutely no bite in the base, which is what makes it great and a fruity chypre. My 2015 is definitely still top notch though. I think it is about the same time aventus lost its mojo too. Interestingly bdp was still good at least into 2018 as it has no oakmoss in the base

[@blitzed_u1]

Great vid as always Rams. GIT is a classic, even the new formulations are not bad compared to the rest of the current Creed line up. If you haven't, try Rain from Royal Crown, it's a very heavy dense take on the DNA and I probably prefer it over GIT in colder weather.

[@RamseytheRam]

I have heard a few people mention Rain... honestly I have never smelled anything from the house of Royal Crown 👑

Hey brother, unrelated question that I think you will be able to answer. I have a sample of oud Maximus 2020 from Bortnikoff, but I don’t see that on their website for sale, I only see “oud Maximus”. Are they the same scent?

[@RamseytheRam]

Not necessarily... he put the year on the scent up until 2020... so for example there was a Oud Maximus 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and from my understanding the reason was the the formula or ingredients changed every year... after 2020 they stopped... so if you buy a new bottle will it be the same? Probably not but it should be close

[@pwj86772]

@@RamseytheRam ahhhh okay, gotcha. So it essentially is the same scent? The ingredients just might be slightly different?

[@Rafael-vu2xn]

It's the time of the year when people talk about spring and I watch out from my window and it's still two feet of snow out there and think; "must be nice.." At least the icefishing is starting to kick in again due to the extended daylight. Too bad Creed is one house I propably never can get my nose into because the silly prices of older bottles and my unwillingness to pay anyhing for the modern ones, but it's always a pleasure to hear a proper review and get to experience them like this instead.

[@skrillix7486]

I got a little original decant from git with just a few drops left in it. I absolutely loved it and i ordered a 10ml decant of the newest formula. I was pretty disappointed. The natural freshness and sharpness of the original decant was replaced by a really generic designer type of freshness. It seems that i have to watch out for a older version of the scent.

i think because i grew up smelling cool water everywhere, i just cant go nuts about GIT. i have it, i wear it, and it gets compliments most times i wear it. Ive (like 90%+ of people) probably never smelled a real vintage pre-oakmoss ban bottle, so i imagine this must have been quite a step up from cool water back when there were more naturals and possibly even real ambergris in this. my juice has to be pretty close to the age of yours but im sure a little newer, and i just kinda shrug at it nowadays. in the end though, nobody can deny that in 1985 absolutely nothing smelled like this, he didnt just tweak an existing format that itself came from many tweaks over time...he made something TRULY new. P.S. my mother is from Belfast and ive been lucky to visit Ireland numerous times...can confirm on the weather 😆

[@RamseytheRam]

The weather sux in Ireland 🇮🇪 I totally understand what you are saying by not getting excited over the DNA in 2024 But I think it's an amazing accomplishment & an important step to what made cool water and the 90s aquatic wave 🌊

[@SeanHH1986]

@RamseytheRam ill give them this too...i put 2 sprays on when i watched the review about 4 hours ago....absolutely still getting strong whiffs of it when i move my hand.

[@dieselboy77]

I'm going to buy up a bunch of Empty GIT bottles and refill it with Cool Water and make a bank...I can't tell the difference between the two perfumes. I remeber once I wore a sample I got from Creed and the girl at the bar and asked me if I am wearing cool water because her dad wore it all the time and she remembers the scent

[@RamseytheRam]

😂😂😂 Don't do that I assure you there is a difference, although it is true that you could almost consider Cool Water a flanker of GIT, and Cool Water came out a few years later, I once heard someone refer to Cool Water as a "finished" GIT. BUT It is also true Creed used higher quality ingredients than what Davidoff used in Cool water, so the sandalwood & Iris is of higher quality if you do a true side by side comparison you will smell the differences

[@dieselboy77]

@@RamseytheRam I was joking 😀 but I know lots of people say GIT does reminds them of cool water

[@FragranceGlitch]

Same here. Im not a fan of the grass smell.

[@RamseytheRam]

[@michaelh1423]

When I kept hearing from other people/videos this was a good office scent I got a sample. I like the fresh cut grass smell, but I don't see how this scent is for the office, do you agree? Maybe more of a casual go golfing type vibe to me. If I would have watched this video years ago, I probably would enjoy it more if that makes sense.

[@RamseytheRam]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts... I think it's a perfect office sent because of how easy it is to wear... but that's just my personal opinion

[@TonCon89]

I own and love Green Irish Tweed, but what specifically about the Irish countyside does the smell of it evoke? I’ve been to Ireland - I’ve family there - and the Irish countryside isn’t exactly uniquely GIT smelling (at least, not to my nose). Seems to me that alot of people who say it smells like the Irish countryside, perpetuate the claim without necessarily having smelt the Irish countryside up close. The same goes for Italian-style fragrances, which we’re told smell exactly like Italy by people who, in some cases, have never visited Italy. Unless you’ve been to these places, keep a lid on it, people 😂😂

This fragrance means a lot to me because it was my Papaws signature scent. I had no idea we were giving it an international day of admiration. Shame on me for not having anymore right now. I bought a partial of Ombré nomade and it came in the mail this morning. The sad thing is when I opened it, the packaging smelled great, because it all leaked out. I didn’t even get to wear it. But I rubbed it on the sleeve of my leather jacket and at least got to sniff on my sleeve all day. I just can’t seem to win lately. But at least now I know moving forward what I’ll be wearing every March 1st. And honestly I could wear Green Irish Tweed all the time. You always amaze me Sir.
