DON'T BUY This Fragrance Before Watching This! | Creed Green Irish Tweed

[@misterceo2168]

Excellent review Gerard, and that was a perfect description like a walk through nature. It feels like I’m flying over Ireland looking down at the beautiful land beneath me lol

[@gerardgeorge]

Thank you my friend I appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@danparry834]

I have Cool Water and thought these two scents were practically identical. I’ll be happily proved wrong when I eventually buy it. Enjoyed the video, thanks 🙏

[@gerardgeorge]

Both have their place in this hobby for sure.

This is a timeless beauty. Just decided to have this as my signature scent from now on. Great review and very accurate, thank you!

[@gerardgeorge]

Great choice! Thank you

[@brianclark6294]

I honestly hesitated on this one and im not sure why i did. Its an amazingly luxurious bar of irish spring soap! Thats what i think of it! Great video Gerard!

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Brian! Good description.

I love GIT. You nailed it. It has a nostalgic vibe that is hard to get with other fragrances. I own Bois du Portugal, Erolfa, and Royal Oud, but GIT is a different story. Bois du Portugal is the one that get closer to GIT.

[@gerardgeorge]

I enjoy all of those myself. Erolfa really surprised me how much I liked it.

[@TerrainJeremy3945]

Just got a decant of this. Been wanting to try this one for a while. This is a nice soapy clean fragrance. The opening is superb. I agree Coolwater doesnt compare in my book. Definitely getting a full bottle of this. Thanks Gerard.

[@gerardgeorge]

You're welcome my friend. Enjoy the decant.

[@Lee35355]

I used the last of my decant sample today. Have a full size bottle on the way! It is spring in a bottle, perfect for any occasion.

I got myself a bottle this weekend and love it! I also have a 2021 bottle of Aventus and a bottle of Aventus cologne. GIT is my favorite of the bunch. I really enjoy your channel great honest reviews and generally fragrances most people can afford. Some people review a lot of niche and it’s just not affordable for some people.

I picked up a sample card of this not long ago, and I could tell from the first tiny spray of that little vial that GIT was legit. I plan to get a decant of this next time I do a decant haul. I get the cool water comparisons but not quite on the same level if I'm being super real.

If you love it Ed that’s all that matters my friend.

[@kevinmckernan2753]

seriously dont bother. yes it smells incredible but doesnt last anymore. try to pick up a bottle pre 2017 (when Blackrock bought out Creed)

[@AMGTT]

This is why I do believe creed is ok to buy it. Creed just smells so natural doesn’t burn your nose claimed 40% natural ingredients and that’s extremely high in the fragrance world. Most those synthetics nose burn fragrances are probably 10% natural

[@gerardgeorge]

I completely agree.

[@3n1k1r]

GIT was one in my collection...wonderful smell...

[@gerardgeorge]

[@michaelkennedy4444]

Totally agree with your comments. GIT has exceeded my expectations.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thank you!

[@jaimeavalosjr.2048]

Great video! Bought Creed Aventus and I didn’t like. I then bought Silver Mountain Water and it became my favorite Creed fragrance because it’s a fresh and clean scent. Do you think if I liked Silver Mountain Water that I would like Green Irish Tweed? Thanks!

[@gerardgeorge]

I think so. It’s fresh but in a different way. If silver mountain water is summer in a bottle GIT is spring in a bottle.

[@MansaMusa-v5q]

Same thing happened to me when I bought Aventus but maybe your bottle just needs to sit for a couple weeks….respray it and give it another try

[@ericboyd5629]

Perfect description

[@gerardgeorge]

Thank you my friend for watching and dropping some feedback.

[@keltyk]

I didn't get into fragrances until I was 58 yrs old. GIT was one of my first and most loved. I felt it was perfect for older men. Especially if they literally wore tweed

[@gerardgeorge]

Hahaha well said! Pairs perfectly with a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.

[@jimlittle5769]

I thought for sure I'd love Green Irish Tweed. I almost blind bought it, but after getting burned by ADG Profumo, I ordered a sample. It was meh to me. Didnt enjoy it enough to drop the coin necessary to get a bottle.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea samples are key. I had tried it a couple times before my wife bought me a bottle for Father’s Day but after that first sniff I knew I wanted it.

[@prunuspersica5913]

I think it deserves the hype and even underrated sometimes, I like it because of its originality and identity. however it could've been cheaper.

[@gerardgeorge]

Very true.

[@kingshaw1079]

I wear the body oil version

[@worldtourremi6460]

Hey man. I know you do rack stores every few weeks for the open box use clones. There are 2 new milestone fragrances that are out that have bottles resembling creed house. The name is "grade one" this bottle looks like an adventus bottle but smells like a green Irish tweed clone. Then there is also a white bottle with silver label called "grade one silver water" which i thought was a silver mountain water clone but after smelling it I thought it smelled very similar to green Irish tweed as well. After hearing you review of Himalaya, I believe this is what that may be cloning with its similarity to GIT. I'm just hoping you find them both just to review them and give me your thoughts since you have both real comparables.

[@gerardgeorge]

I will keep an eye out for sure! Thanks for the heads up.

[@Silver_Charm_1]

I bought a 10 ml decant a couple months back along with Silver Mountain.Water. I really love both scents, but performance is disappointing on my skin. Another I recently picked up that I really enjoy is Bvlgari Tygar. I will at least have a decant of these 3 in my collection moving forward bc I enjoy the scents that much. Nice video Girard. Have you heard of the George Girard's band? A classy jazz band you need to checkout just for name sake. Listen to Bourbon Street Parade, it's.a good one!

[@gerardgeorge]

I haven’t heard of the band I will definitely check them out! Thanks for sharing it

[@vincentcalabrese8115]

I think bond no9 chez bond is the perfect middle ground between git and cool water for this scent profile

[@gerardgeorge]

Haven’t tried chez bond but I know it’s compared to GIT.

[@cole4249]

GIT is a pretty good frag, I swapped mine tho. Felt it was too mature for me personally

[@gerardgeorge]

I can see that being the case for some. Hopefully you got something you liked in return!

[@thearchman4133]

Worn this fragrance since 1989 When Creed was in a small corner of Harrods It’s amazing now how it’s gone from a Gentleman’s fragrance to super hyped mainstream in the 21st century Shame to be honest but I will continue to wear it happily ….. I avoid Aventus at all cost like sauvage

[@gerardgeorge]

Seems like a cool time to be discovering them!

[@MansaMusa-v5q]

You said it perfectly I think this is what’s moving me to this house due it’s scents having a gentleman vibe to it

[@mattphysique]

I love it, i have GIT, Verbena fields which is 100% spot on & tres nuit

[@gerardgeorge]

Haven't tried verbena fields who makes that?

[@суперИлюша-я7е]

Hi) Is Armaf Tres Nuit is best alternative of this?)

[@gerardgeorge]

Some think so. However I find it to be synthetic which for this type of DNA isn't ideal. If you've never smelled GIT and you want a cheaper alternative Tres Nuit works.

[@escarlinegonzalez503]

Green Irish tweed evaporates too quick on my skin I feel like they need to add a note that can make it stand and last more.

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

Gotta love Green Irish Tweed, and I agree that Cool Water can't hold a candle to it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea not close Danny!

[@TheFLiZiP]

Didn't the same perfumer make cool water and GIT?

[@gerardgeorge]

@@TheFLiZiP he did

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

@@TheFLiZiP oh boy, okay, let's take a brief look at history. And for the record, I can't confirm any of this, nor can anyone, so take it with a grain of salt. As I've heard it, Pierre Bourdon shopped around early on and didn't exactly believe in himself. Creed eventually took him in, and Green Irish Tweed released in 1985. A couple of years later, he releases Cool Water under Davidoff. Now, even if Bourdon took the exact recipe for Green Irish Tweed to Davidoff, there's a few things to consider: 1) There's a gulf between Davidoff and Creed in terms of quality, especially back in the 80s. Say what you will about Creed today and whether or not you think their quality has dropped in recent years, for a very long time they were one of THE premium products. So the cost to create a bottle of GIT was always going to be significantly more than Cool Water. 2) There's also creative control. The simple truth is that these things are definitely not a one to one, in fact they're not even the same category. Green Irish Tweed is green, Cool Water is aquatic. The fact is that I don't want to believe Pierre Bourdon tried to copy his own work and double dip, that paints him in a dishonorable light. What I think is more likely is that while working on Green Irish Tweed and created a twist. While there are some slight similarities, anyone who has smelled both will tell you they are leagues apart.

[@JayLewTheTruth]

The nostalgic smell is what I love

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree! So good

[@wisingup4894]

Well, for the alternatives, I don't like Cool Water. There are few similar perfumes to use, for example Armaf Tres Nuit. If you can handle chemical explosion in the beginning and more sweet vibe, in the drydown it's nice. Also there are higher players in this game - Parfums Vintage Verbena Fields, which is aimed basically on drydown notes. Very nice. Or Montagne Parfums Irish Verbena, which comes more violety and is a good substitude. But in the end, it's still a substitide of what is great for itself, for what it is. If you are willing to spend for Creed, just don't think about it and do it. It became popular for a reason and it's still worth the price. In my top 5 favs.

[@gerardgeorge]

Well said!

[@Dragosgkk]

[@gerardgeorge]

Great choice!

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

The big question is "Why do you wear cologne?" If all you care about is how you smell in public, there is no reason to buy GIT for $200 discount to $470 retail. In the dry down in the air, no one in the room with you will know the difference between GIT and Armaf Tres Nuit, Al Haramain L’Aventure Knight or Rasasi Egra (though Egra is closer to CW than GIT). Cool Water, as its name implies is far more aquatic. I still love and wear Cool Water and several flankers, but it's very different than GIT. If you're in the hobby or looking to get into it... at least get a decant of GIT. It's less sweet and more earthy and "green" than the clones. It is perfectly balanced and one of the best made colognes I've ever smelled. There is no replacement that hits the same quality. I do own and use the clones I listed, too, but I'm kind of a fragrance hoarder I guess.

[@gerardgeorge]

This is extremely well articulated and very true.

[@alm9951]

As for me I wear GIT for myself. I came across Cool Water in the early 90s and really liked it. Im talking about the days when Cool Water was at Dillards for about 65 bucks a bottle. It made a big impression on me. So, I did a little research and found out about GIT. They arent exactly the same but theyre close. GIT takes me back to those days. Thats why I wear it.

I’m thinking about getting a bottle of green Irish tweed. I just have one concern. Can anyone tell me if this fragrance smells at all citrusy? Anywhere from light citrus to a noticeable citrus? It’s the one thing that I think could pursued me not to but this fragrance. I live in Kentucky and citrus fragrances just don’t work here because the weather is so often cold, grey and wet, and dreary. For example I love dolce and Gabbana light blue intense. I’ve bought at least three bottles of it, but it just doesn’t work here in Kentucky. So please if anyone can help persuade me to purchase or not to please do so. I searched for a more recent video review of green Irish tweed hoping for more comments. Thanks in advance!
