GIT really is a beautiful scent. For what it’s worth; out of my some 80 bottles, my wife’s favorite is GIT

[@ryanepps771]

It's ALL about these old school masculines!! Keep them coming and the channel will keep growing. Congrats! Bdp is the only Creed, for me

[@SeanHH1986]

hey man if you like bois du portugal, check out Targhee Forest by Rogue....literally best description i can give is "this is what i wanted bois du portugal to smell like when i blind bought it". he uses real oakmoss and stuff, really amazing stuff and its like 1/3 the price because hes a homemade brand lol. p.s. all that said i already really liked BdP alot before i smelled the rogue

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@SeanHH1986 rogue is awesome I might have to check that out

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

BDP is awesome it was my first creed I ever bought

[@FreeWill712]

Great video brotha. I just got my bottle of GIT in the mail. I was worried about it not performing in the cold but glad to hear you're rocking it this winter.

[@DanielMedina924]

Great review Kelan keep it up 👍👏👏👏

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks bro !!

[@michaelbush200]

Happy new year, Kelan and thank you for featuring GIT...it seems Aventus gets all the attention, but this my favourite by far. As classy and 'old money' as they come!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I love aventus and like it more than GIT but regardless GIT is very good and such a realistic opening I love that part

[@gqbcustomkickz]

Great review, I just ordered GREEN IRISH TWEED....I have Aventis also BUT I'm still loving the Creed Royal Water in 2024

[@kjh4595]

I think it's a fantastic scent I actually like the older batches a bit better. I find I prefer Himalaya & Viking over this one but all Creeds smell high quality, glad to see the channel hit 10k!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have not tried Himalaya but Viking I thought was okay it smelled like a potpourri that my mom used when I was kid lol I’ll have to revisit it. Thank you so much for the support !

[@aromafromheaven]

Great review

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching !

[@doblemcpollo8829]

Thank you for this review Kelan, my issue with purchasing anything by Creed is that the quality and actual fragrance itself is highly inconsistent with each batch they make. Now of course no designer or niche house is perfect when it comes to consistency but when we are talking about a single frag from this house that can run you up $300+, makes my wallet itch especially when you take into consideration all of the many many many designer houses making clones/dupes/interpretations of the same scent for a fraction of the price. Anyways just wanted to leave you with my perspective from another frag head.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah I totally understand that aspect of the higher end niche vs what alternatives are available

[@bojax3434]

One of my favorite Creed scents!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Definitely a great fragrance

[@docsamson198]

Clint Eastwood’s favorite cologne. Excellent review. I really like it, but waaaaaaay too expensive for me. I actually prefer Aspen over Cool Water, but Aspen is so weak I have drown myself in it.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I had both cool water and Aspen at one point but gave them both away. GIT is just on another level especially the opening

[@docsamson198]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey How kind of you. I hope you gave Aspen to a high schooler and made their day. Seriously, Aspen is pure nostalgia for me and nothing more. GIT is legendary.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@docsamson198 my nephew wears it to the gym he says he’s going into college next year he wore it all throughout highschool lol

[@sarhadkeleshian9212]

Always in my collection ,Git the best ever made

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Very good creed fragrance

[@stinkomalenko]

Great review! I actually just wore GIT yesterday. I started with a bottle of Armaf's Tres Nuit but once I smelled legit GIT, I was hooked. The opening is killer and I really love the drydown. Performance is WAY better than the clones. I agree with the presentation not making sense. You have a bright, effervescent fragrance and then you put it in a bottle that conveys the antithesis of that. I'm wearing Royal Oud today, which I remember you got a sample of recently and were undecided on. Did you come around to it or decide it's not for you? Keep up the good work!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yes I agree I had tres nuit first but I didn’t like it and would never go back to a clone or alternate at this point after having the real thing. Royal oud I actually got a bottle of and being able to spray a lot on at once compared to the small mini spritz of a sample really brings out the woodiness of the smell and its way less sweet so I have come to appreciate it now

[@jasonk6298]

i actually prefer coolwater to git. git has this particular very subtle onion-y smell that i detect and dislike that i dont get from coolwater. not that i wear coolwater very often anymore, just when im feeling nostalgic and want to transport back to my high school dances in the 90s lol. i just now sprayed git on my left and coolwater on my right bc of your vid ha. happy new year bud.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Happy new year ! I’m glad I don’t get an onion scent loll 😂😂

[@justaddlight]

Always will be in my top 5 from the brand. Profoundly nostalgic and different enough from CW for me to choose it over the Davidoff every time. I was there when Armaf's Tres Nuit came out, but I still contend that Rasasi's Egra is the best value clone of it made to date. Huge dose of dhm, but It nails the greenness like no other. Strange that Creed hasn't yet made a flanker of it actually. GIT Elixir? Please God No. 😂

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Haha yeah why would they change it if it works already, if they made one what would it be like ?

[@DavidElCowboyVaquero]

Howdy Kelan thanks for your honest review on this timeless green masculine classic . What are your thoughts on the cheaper clone alternative to this if you even tried called "Armaf Tres Nuit ". Think you can do a review on it I've gotten quite a few compliments on the original Creed GIT and the Clone curious too see what your thoughts are since you normally review cheaper vintage classy vintage gentleman scents thanks man greetings from Texas 🤠🧔🏻‍♂️🐎🐴🐮🐄🐃🐂🏜🌵

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I had tres nuit a while ago I didn’t like the smell much so I gave it to my nephew, it didn’t smell anywhere near as good as GIT. I wouldn’t buy it again there would be no point since I have GIT now. thank you for watching and commenting David !

[@makuIa]

the very first time I saw it instinctively I thought “that’s not the right bottle for the name” & now that they’ve released aventus absolu they’ve had to shrink that bottle to 75ml & shine it to a piano black to stand out from GIT. while we are on the subject i’m gona go ahead & say viking shouldn’t be orange. nothing about tough, winter warriors feels orange

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

lol yeah the red and orange for Viking and Viking cologne is odd as well, especially the orange the red gets a pass. GIT should be clear with the green logo like it used to be

[@houseadams4841]

I love the fragrance and do own GIT… Problem is there are many clones or similar type fragrances that cost a fraction of the price… Which are very solid. Recommending this to others is hard when they can buy Armaf Tres Nuit or L’Adventure Knight for $25-$30.. Banana Republic Grassland is a slightly softer and sweeter take on the dna.. nice option. I even like Aspen by Coty… and Coolwater still. But i do love GIT…

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Tres nuit I didn’t like I gave mine away to my nephew it smelled very synthetic or even more so like a womens perfume

[@jonblablabla1014]

You should also get its clone 'Tres nuit' by Armaf and review that too

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I had that initially a while back but gave it away I didn’t think it smelled nice personally

[@blainetrahan8883]

Love GIT!!!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

The opening is so good !

[@SeanHH1986]

i think alot of us love/loved green irish tweed so much that its played out at this point. i agree though about the differences to cool water. cool water to me smells like a $5 clone from a gas station compared to the real deal. that said the vintage was wayyyyy better, but i hear alot about people getting spoiled vintage creed so i never pulled the trigger

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Ahh paying the vintage & creed premium then having it spoiled would suckkkk lol

[@willdavey782]

How much did your view of the bottle presentation factor into your rating? Just curious because it astounds me how many people fixate on the bottle, when that's not what we carry around with us and show people when we sport this amazing scent.

[@John_D67]

Easily a top 10 of all time for me. Have an older 4.2 that is just a beast, the violet leaf and verbena really stand out, so much better than CW. No comparison at all for me. 👍🏻

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I agree cool water has some similarities but it does not have that amazing opening

[@escarlinegonzalez503]

Is the cap metal? I heard the new bottles come that way!!

[@lawrences.6298]

Since you also reviewed Aspen, how close (or not) is it to GIT? Thanks.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Ahh I haven’t had Aspen for years now but it was no wear near as natural smelling from what I remember

[@gz1619]

You should try Creed Viking

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I’ve had two samples and it sorta reminded me of a potpourri smell

[@jP-nw7nm]

I feel like the old sample I got which is the older batch is stronger than this new F batch

[@jnIcksbkallday]

I have a 50ml 2018 batch that is nuclear. Swaps?

[@wagnerporras7616]

I hope Creed have solved their problem with the duration with all of their fragrances good news about GIT. ​

[@PaypaBoy-hx7zi]

Tbh I thought clove extracts was infused in this but obviously..

[@Roy_Godiksen]

I've heard it several times: Why did they call it "Green Irish Tweed"? It's not a very green nor Irish scent. Maybe it's a miss spelling. It was suppose to be "Green Iris Tweed", maybe?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I get the name totally because of the opening but the bottle should look like the old school one I think

[@topsecretjony]

yes yes yes

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheFittedRockStar]

IMO the best Creed is wood's and spices

[@OakleytheRottie]

SOTD OG Egoiste

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Such a great fragrance it might be my favorite Chanel

[@OakleytheRottie]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey hands down my favorite, been wearing it 30 years. SOTD: Black Phantom

[@Harrock]

For that price they could have made that Green felt all over the bottle 😂 or paint it more dark green

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Definitely should have some green on the bottle with the name lol

[@davidbgreensmith]

I've tried to like this scent, but it just doesn't work for me. I think it smells synthetic and cheap.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Hey I have been there with many other fragrances before, with this one I find the scent very realistic especially in the opening

[@thefreestylefrEaK]

Creed is no longer worth the money these days. It's basically an overpriced Designer brand.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Ehh idk I like them for the most part, some I enjoy way more than others but there are also some great designer scents obviously as well

[@Narcissist_Police]

I still find value with Creed as I have for decades. People repeat the blown out of proportion talking points from their favorite KZbinr or something they read on fragrantica. Creed still, even after two company acquisition processes, make amazing fragrances.

[@sirjohndoeofpa3292]

Creed has become a huge disappointment, performance issues over the years

[@DrIstoris]

Not the new f batches
