Creed Green Irish Tweed Review

[@justaddlight]

Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to combine verbena with irones (Bourdon) is a genius. 😄 It's the crispness that many of the clones just can't capture. Rasasi's Egra comes damn close though. Spring almost in the air!

[@RichMitch]

Absolutely, it's those fine margins that separates is from the geniuses like him

[@captainblimp4133]

Hey Mitch what do you think of the version (GIT) in the shops currently? Got Silver mountain water recently smelled pretty good.

[@RichMitch]

I think git has been done well actually

[@cheapimitation2242]

I like green fragrances, I like the Irish people, heck I even like tweed! Yet when I tried this I did not like Green Irish Tweed. I remember at the time thinking "oh THAT's that old man smell". I was a relative noob then and I'm rapidly approaching being an old man myself, so I wonder how I'd feel about it now. Your enthusiasm makes me want to give it another shot, but I'm not sure I want to like it given Creed's current prices!

[@RichMitch]

Yeah there's no good will towards creed and their silly prices! It's definitely got that king Charles aspect to it, old man in tweed out walking the hills

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

I'm wearing Green Irish Tweed too.

[@RichMitch]

Yes!

[@TonCon89]

My favourite fragrance of all time. An expertly executed, masterfully balanced and blended perfume that ticks all the right boxes. Cracking review!

[@RichMitch]

Thank you!

[@ryany2882]

One of my favourite fragrances I purchased rain from royal crown a few weeks back that one is very close to GIT

[@RichMitch]

Nice

[@tzfragrance]

Wore GIT last March the 1st on instinct, wore it today after learning of the tradition! Happy GIT day, Duck! Wore Enchanted Forest for my Feb. 29th SOTD!

[@RichMitch]

Enchanted forest is amazing

[@luism.9737]

Thank you sir duck for your insight on this wonderful scent. Few scents make me think of a specific season personified - Green Irish Tweed is Spring

[@RichMitch]

Absolutely and thank you 🙏🏻

[@tripler7490]

Have 3 versions and what stands out to me on all of them is the sillage. Top jauce

[@RichMitch]

Absolutely fantastic composition, magnifique

[@aromafromheaven]

Wonderful juice

[@RichMitch]

Absolutely

[@deluxelex9056]

I like this more than Aventus now. I hear the new batches don't perform as well unfortunately. I have the same size older 4oz bottle as you.

[@RichMitch]

It's fantastic and I much prefer it to aventus too

[@DrIstoris]

2021 batch is bad. But the new f batches of GIT are good I would say

A fragrance that Pradeep doesn't have ? I must be dreaming.

[@filiptalev3869]

Eloquently done. This is a tie with my other favourite Taborome

[@RichMitch]

Thank you! Appreciate it

[@TheScentReaper]

Insightful. I love GIT, I own it, but I can live without it. But I must admit that I respect it because of its legendary dna and it is a great fragrance.

[@RichMitch]

Yeah that's why I split my favourites from what I think is best. It's interesting

[@SPACEDOUT19]

This smells like a cool spring morning but you can feel the warm weather coming, its sunny of course. I dont think its very summery tho, its spring in a bottle and nothing else, imo

[@RichMitch]

@@SPACEDOUT19 spot on

[@artblend4278]

I agree GIT is probably one of the most essentially creedesque of the Creed range, certainly not Aventus (which is nice when you first discover it but then becomes somewhat transparent). Did you see that Creed as a Company is back in French hands? I like that! 😆 (by the way do you know when they changed the shape of the bottle)?

[@RichMitch]

I don't know about the shape of the bottles, sorry, but I had heard about the kering purchase

[@artblend4278]

@@RichMitch Thank you! If one day you do a review of Bois du Portugal would be interesting to compare it to Pour Monsieur EDP (imo they are very close)

[@skrillix7486]

I think the old 120ml bottles got replaced around 2015-2017.

[@artblend4278]

@@skrillix7486 thank you 🙂

[@belairscents]

It's my favorite Creed fragrance ❤️ 😊 Cheers mate 🥂

Mine too!

[@belairscents]

@@RichMitch jolly good 👍 thanks to Pierre Bourdon 🙏

[@IrregularTangent]

Rich , have you notice any difference from early 2000s batches GIT and then ones from 2016 and above

[@RichMitch]

I haven't got the reference unfortunately

[@IrregularTangent]

@@RichMitch came across some early bottles of it got sniff to test it out but don't know if they are worth the price from that era

[@IrregularTangent]

That bottle of Iris looks beautiful on the dresser 😊. In search of that one myself

[@IrregularTangent]

@@RichMitch hiris lol that's what I meant

[@ryany2882]

I will say I MUCH prefer the clear bottle I hate the black bottle it doesn't suit the fragrance at all! My bottle is a 2016 clear one

[@RichMitch]

It's weird what they've done with the bottle, .I idea why

[@DrIstoris]

clear bottles were 75ml

[@jauntyjaun]

My little hot take: Tres Nuit smells better than GIT and really close GIT-like clones (but still kinda 7/10). Dihydromyrcenol overdose in GIT is too much for me. Great review though

[@RichMitch]

😯😯😯 I've smelled a few git clones but I think the sheer quality of materials and bourdon's blending set the original apart. Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate a little hot take! 😂🫂

[@jauntyjaun]

@@RichMitch btw is it true that Bourdon liked Cool Water better than GIT or it's bs? He liked that cool water money for sure

[@RichMitch]

@@jauntyjaun I have no idea but he probably appreciated being credited for his work too

[@stephand.4437]

GIT is very similar to vintage Cool Water!

[@RichMitch]

Same dna with the same perfumer but the quality of materials and a few tweaks make git the 🤌🏻
