What a beast! Crisp, rich, and manly (green, haha, what a discovery…). It’s a bit like Aventus, but L’Aventure K by Armani Privé gets closer to this gem. Although its performance is low (hopefully reaching 7 hours, with 1 hour of good projection), the quality of the scent makes it worthy of a spot in the collection. Perfect for summer and mid-seasons. If you have the money for luxury, go for it. Score: 8.9/10.
Green Irish Tweed is by Creed and aims to be the essence of spring. However, it’s another perfume that has dropped in performance since its creation. It’s 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 didn’t change much, but in 2023, the projection is weaker. I’m not saying you can’t smell it from a meter away, but on skin, it’s shorter. Before, with 6 sprays, it reached a meter for half an hour before dropping to 15cm for 3 hours; now it’s barely noticeable at 5cm until the 10-hour mark. I think Creed lowered quality/concentration to maintain the price, which is a bad 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 a teddy bear, they’ll laugh at your projection for an hour. You’ll have to reapply. All in all, it’s a good perfume but with short reach; you decide if it’s worth the price. As always, test on skin before buying niche.
My favorite Creed perfume. It’s been a while since I smelled something that addicted me so much. Masculine aroma, clean, and radiates a responsible, charismatic man who knows what he’s doing. It’s fresh/green, fairly linear but of marvelous quality. Every time I smell it, it evokes a hill with trees and a sea view with the breeze; it’s super addictive and nothing like retro (even though it’s from the 80s). Recommended 100%.
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 huge difference is naturalness: Armaf smells chemical and generic, while Creed feels high-quality, with more defined and well-blended aromas. Personally, I don’t like either; they feel generic and feminine, I don’t know if it’s something I got used to smelling as a kid, but neither makes me feel masculine.
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’s expensive but worth it. I recommend trying it before buying.
Hands down the best perfume ever created. Perfect for a suit or dress shirt, for looking impeccably put-together. It’s maximum elegance. Clones or inspirations, no matter what they claim, don’t compare. It’s unique.
I was looking for something distinctively citrusy and stumbled upon something herbal and green, like a natural park that blends well. The drydown 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 even if it’s pricey. I tried it because a relative bought it blind and didn’t like it either, so I don’t see myself using it since it’s not my style, but those who love herbal scents will enjoy it.
For me, it’s the best perfume that exists: fresh, elegant, and casual. In my case, it fills the whole house and still projects strongly for over 5 hours with just two sprays.
A total blast, phenomenal! Long live this perfume!
Spraying it is like traveling to the tranquility of Irish pastures and their cliffs. Green Irish Tweed is great, green, fresh, reminding me of grass wet by dew and morning sun in spring, quite peculiar. For a simple scent, I think it contains more notes than declared; I perceive metallic lavender, a slight touch of green mandarin peel and petitgrain, maybe 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’s a more natural landscape, less sharp, more powdery and soapy, reminiscent of Irish Spring soap and Rexona Efficient talcum upon exit. It changes little with time, but in the dry down appears grey amber/ambroxan, adding marine and deep nuances, becoming more masculine. It’s 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 a grey sky and rain. It looks great in the rain. It’s incredible, I use it more for myself than for others. Rating 9/10.
He didn’t exaggerate when he said it’s ideal for the office. It’s exquisite, a pleasure for the nose, enveloping you in elegant scent for 8 hours a day. And believe me, two sprays on the jacket and the smell concentrates in the closet for a week. I’m fascinated and enjoy my sophisticated Creed Green Irish Tweed, of spectacular quality. Cheers.
This is the best Creed fragrance by far, and I’m not going to argue. Green Irish Tweed is the god of perfumes, the perfume for real men.
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 movies 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 luster, leaning on its fame and its Creed lineage. The name is fitting: upon application, it assaults you with the Irish countryside, green hills, cloudy skies, and a breeze carrying wet herbs. The verbena gives a clean, fresh citrus note, like morning dew. The violets add an ozony touch, that damp mountain air. The musk brings earthy and mineral depth, evoking dirt paths. It’s comforting, elegant, and refreshing. But it’s hard not to think we’ve heard this before; the innovative became common. Unlike other green scents, GIT is an expert in moderation. It projects about 2 meters, enough to be noticed without being intrusive. Its understated elegance still wins. In 2024, there are cheaper fragrances with more impact. The scent doesn’t develop much; what you smell at the start is what you have for 5-6 hours. It’s linear, but maintains distinction for formal events or work, though it’s not memorable for a romantic night. Lovers call it an timeless masterpiece, but for today it seems like a good classic. I like it as I enjoy De Niro in mediocre movies: nostalgia with certainty of better times. It has an inevitable similarity with Davidoff Cool Water, its accessible and marine brother; both are green and fresh, though Cool Water is more aquatic and less earthy moss. There’s 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 similarity is notable, but in subtle details like ingredient quality and smoothness, Creed makes the difference, although maybe not enough to justify the price against clones.
I don’t know why, but the scent is very similar to Victorinox Swiss Army. Still, it’s not bad at all.
Smells like grass, like pine in northern England. A exquisite fragrance to my taste, though it’s generated the most anti-compliments in my life. Excellent performance for 12 hours and a moderate trail. A solid option for cold climates.
Less than two years ago, I barely knew anything about perfumes; I only had three ADGs for daily wear, The One by D&G for dates, and one catalog scent. That changed when I found a decant page and YouTube reviews that kept recommending the same fragrances, so I bought three decants, including this masterpiece. At first, it threw me off—it smelled like cemetery flowers or a dead rose; it didn’t smell bad, just not my style. I almost gave it away but kept it, hoping for the right moment. Over time, as I trained my nose with many scents and started loving leathers, greens, citrus, and vintage/fougère styles like 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 feels sacrilegious, but Fresh, floral, green. It’s an opening that fills you with an inexplicable green elegance, classy and insanely fresh. It transports you to a place full of grass and flowers. It’s crazy—it’s become one of my favorites, especially in this heat. It’s my new mantra.
I agree with kerpin’s review. It feels incredibly balanced and elegant. I could probably make it my only perfume, though for hot weather I’d reach for the Millesime Imperial—it’s more marine and fruity. Those two would be enough.
In my city, it gets really hot, reaching 45 degrees, and we only have two months of cold, so I’m looking for fresh scents. 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 guy 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 person. A 25-year-old could wear it: you smell like a good perfume, not a dazzling Christmas tree, but like a neat, stylish man. The longevity is about 6 hours, perfect for dates in the heat or hangouts with friends. It’s totally friendly, not bothering anyone even if you overapply.
According to ‘The Ghost Perfumer’, Pierre Bourdon created the formula and Olivier Creed paid him with bespoke suits; later, Davidoff developed it into Cool Water. Creed bought rejected briefs from giants like Dior or Lancôme, and this GIT was one of them. Davidoff, almost solely a tobacco company back then, had faith in that strange scent and nailed it with one of the best-selling fragrances, marking the use of calone. Leaving the messy history aside, my experience: my dad bought it for me to test on my arm. The ingredient quality is on another level, way above Cool Water. According to the boutique in Mexico, it opens with mint, verbena, lemon, bergamot, and galbanum; has geranium, lavender, and violet in the heart; and settles on sandalwood, cedar, ambroxan, and oakmoss in the base. What hits me is the verbena, smartly having two facets: herbal/citrus with touches of lavender and basil. I don’t know how they make it skin-safe since it’s phototoxic (edit: it’s petitgrain simulating it). The citrus notes are opulent and natural. The mint is imperceptible, and the galbanum gives that formidable green tone. The violet leaves peek out brightly. I don’t detect iris, though it’s rare to find it in natural perfumes; if it’s there, it adds a spiced, creamy, buttery nuance, nothing powdery. I also don’t pick up on geranium or lavender. In the base, there’s coumarin giving an undeclared dry tobacco vibe, light moss, 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 that formal; I use it like a Swiss Army knife in any weather, except extreme cold or intense heat, with a polo and jeans. It’s not inoffensive, but it requires personality. If you feel uncomfortable, step away. It’s one of my favorites and it’s in my collection. Edit 2: The ingredients are top-tier, but the price is prohibitive and the packaging is mediocre for that cost. Creed costs more than Amouage and comes in cheap boxes. I don’t recommend buying it unless your wallet is a cello.
It could be the most versatile perfume in the world, even if it’s for people over 30. It’s the opposite of modern men’s perfumery full of sweetness. Pros: women of all ages like it, it’s ultra-versatile, and it stands out from mass-market scents. Cons: high price for daily use, it smells very much like the €20 Cool Water, and its performance is slightly low.
It delivers on its promise: a walk through a damp countryside with a marine breeze. Addictive, elegant, and serene. Ingredients of another caliber. It evokes a conciliatory and diplomatic man. It has a vintage vibe but is timeless. Although it sounds like Cool Water at first, they are different fragrances. A 10/10; the hype is justified.
Fresh and clean, so much so that it reminds me of Ariel soap. It’s very similar to Davidoff’s Cool Water, but without that soapy note and with better longevity.
He won my heart instantly. Simple, green, fresh, and classic, yet unique. It brightens your day and charms everyone. It’s a Swiss Army knife for any occasion or weather. Versatile, elegant, and fresh. I highly recommend it as one of my favorites.
The first time I smelled it, I thought, ‘This elevates your class a notch.’ It’s fresh, green, and charming, making me feel clean and noble. But it’s not all perfect: I sprayed it at 10 AM, and by 12:30 PM it was already skin-scent. It lasted until 5 PM. A fleeting, discreet marvel.
I don’t like it because it smells too much like a fresh green forest, but I give it a 9/10 because a girl I liked in high school complimented me on it.
My absolute favorite from Creed. Timeless, natural, and flawlessly executed—it’s captivating and addictive. It breaks the mold without trying too hard: elegant without being flashy. It evokes a dense Irish forest, white cliffs, and sun-drenched wet moss. It’s the scent of a well-made gentleman who blends tradition and modernity with ease.
I fell for it gradually. It’s versatile, elegant, and a true all-rounder. More refined and green than Davidoff’s Cool Water, without that marine touch. Perfect for unisex wear and warm afternoons. It’s not a powerhouse in terms of projection, but it creates an aura that lasts 3 to 4 hours. I’ll be emptying this bottle soon.
A mature citrus that isn’t floral or earthy, but rather crushed leaves with flowers. It starts cloying and doesn’t evolve much beyond soft amber and sandalwood. Needs more mint or apple. For now, I prefer Jean Pascal’s pine.
Smells like the most common supermarket detergent. If you like it, just buy fabric softener for a fraction of the price and forget this one.
This perfume is a well-established 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’re very wrong. The opening, wow, yes, it’s green and strong, like freshly cut grass and freshly squeezed lemon peel, although lemon isn’t listed in the notes. The magic is in the dry down… 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. The fame is understandable; it’s a very natural and green scent that feels refined and has a lot of resemblance to Cool Water, especially when dry, though 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 are very decent, feeling until the next day; Creed perfumes with Ambroxan tend to perform well. Perfume for those who value good scents and refined palates.
Great quality as this house has us used to, very green, you feel the violet leaf a lot accompanied by a very slight sweetness I imagine must be ambergris. Honestly, I don’t feel it’s timeless; the truth is it does give me that classic and eighties vibe, but watch out, it doesn’t smell old. I like it quite a bit but not enough to pay what it costs; I’d prefer to pass this time.
Regarding performance, I confirm it’s excellent. Today, 3 sprays on the neck at 10 AM. It’s 8 PM and I’m still getting bursts when I move, light but noticeable. Batch F. I’ve read complaints about Creed’s performance, honestly, I don’t understand. None of the ones I own perform poorly.
The opening is fresh and herbal, but once it dries and a minute passes, 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.
Male, green, and fresh. It’s clean, elegant, and mature but doesn’t smell old; it’s timeless. You can definitely tell it’s inspired by Davidoff’s Cool Water, a lot, but there are differences. The ingredients, mostly synthetic, would give a simple green and fresh cologne, but this has more to it so it doesn’t smell that basic. 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 geranium (in the original China formula), but for me, what elevates it is an exquisite sandalwood that, when dried, forms a base that accompanies and velvets the whole thing. Clean and elegant, totally versatile in climates and circumstances. Maybe 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.
Here’s something interesting: although it feels superior to the Davidoff and has a formidable, natural opening, after ten minutes they smell almost identical. Most people can’t tell the difference, and as an expert, if they’re not side by side, they smell the same when dry. It’s wise to change your 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-style composition with a premium price. The presentation at that price is insulting. Even if it smells excellent, the price isn’t justified. The book ‘The Ghost Perfumer’ clarifies several things about the brand. Anyway: correcting errors, it does carry an ‘iris’ molecule (in Spanish it’s ‘lily’, better to use that), even if synthetic, so it has the note. I don’t know where they got the idea 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 toward geranium due to the Bourbon oil, so it’s not pink rose. Plus, that part is barely perceptible. Similarly, I perceive more sandalwood, Ambrofix, tobacco from residual coumarin in various herbs, and synthetic oakmoss. Also: I consider that the gas chromatography analysis might not be the original formula. I recommend informing yourself more before judging. Best.
Very elegant and masculine; I don’t understand why they keep the green so low in the main accords when it’s what predominates. It’s a very mature and good scent, I got lots of 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 the same, with ‘higher quality’ notes only if you really dig for them. I adore both Cool Water and this, but for the price, it doesn’t make sense. That said, the Creed lasts longer, but with Cool Water’s price, I can spray it 30 times a day and not care.
If you’re a Creed collector, you should own it, but I don’t recommend it olfactorily or as a concept. It smells super vintage, with green and powdery hints where violet is noticeable, but it’s very classic. Luckily I bought a sample; for the price and quality, a dupe is better.
