Green Irish Tweed (1985)
by Creed

I liked the wearing I got from a sample and was surprised at the longevity since I expected less. I'm not a big fan of violet, but I like it in this juice. From top to drydown. it was linear and pleasant with decent projection. The sandalwood was very good holding anchor.

Is it worth $120 plus per bottle? Not to me, but price point aside, this is a very nice scent that will get the wearer noticed.

I'll throw in my 2 cents. I really enjoy this scent. But the reason I do is because I wore Cool Water for 5-6 years in the early 90s and have never had more compliments. I even own a bottle now. There is a different note in GIT that makes the drydown a little less sweet for me but overall I can't say that it changes much at all compared to CW. In fact CW lasts about 2 hours longer than GIT on me and I have tried drydown tests with both. So I will give it a thumbs up because it is a great sscent but I would spend my money for longevity and overall on CW and go get something else...or 2-3 something elses..with the change.

Don't believe the hype. It will NOT turn you into a super-sexy all conquering love-god. It will make you smell like an ordinary, well-groomed, pleasant smelling member of the male masses. The people who say it garners compliments when wearing it will receive them from people who become aware of it, because it has quite strong sillage, and smells very 'fragrancey'. It is NOT unpleasant, but neither is it intriguing, different, characterful or individual. It smells extremely generic - a very typically male fragrance that you feel you have smelt somewhere before. It reminds me of the kind of fragrance you smell in a locker room applied by some typical stock broker type guy after a hard game of squash. A safe bet fragrance for men with little imagination. I'd even go as far as saying that it smells like a pleasantly fragranced deodourant. Disasterous when you think of how expensive it is! Now don't get me wrong. Though I'm not impressed by GIT, I am a BIG fan of other Creed scents. In fact, scents like SMW and Himalaya are the OPPOSITE of GIT. They are majestic in their high quality smell. They have an exclusive smell that really does seem fit for royalty. Others will bow to your superiority when you smell like a Prince. Wear GIT and they will slap you on the back as 'one of the guys.'

A classic. Long lasting, decent sillage, very versatile. Careful with the trigger, it can get overbearing. In moderation it is a very pleasant scent. Nothing outrageous or outstanding about this Creed, not by modern standards anyway, just a good scent.

It took me 3 weeks to track down a bottle of this stuff so I could sample it, and boy am I glad I did. The notes are all things I really like and they are blended to perfection. One of the beatiful things about Creed fragrance is that they seem to set differently on each person's skin. They smell a bit different on each and every wearer so you should try this for yourself to be 100% sure you like it. The only comment is that on my skin which is extremely dry, the scent doesn't last long enough.

I used to say this smelled a lot like Cool Water, I still say that because many still confuse this for Cool Water when I wear it. However I can detect the smoothness, and richness that is lacking in Cool Water that is found here in Green Irish Tweed. Great silage and longevity and a beautiful scent overall.
