Unsung hero

Before you spend a bunch of money on Green Irish Tweed, (which i have btw), check out Aspen by Coty. Launched in 1989 this green aromatic fougere costs pennies on the dollar and delivers a nice kick of greens and ferns and forests and everything else thats green. The scent lasts about 8hrs at least on my skin and for the rock bottom price that CANNOT be beat. This stuff smells wonderful and i remember very well when this came out. The best part is the nice smooth drydown. With oakmoss amber cedar musk and balsam fir it's delectable. A strong buy indeed you can't go wrong with Aspen.

My Opinion

At this price, it is necessary to start over the complaints about synthetic components, etc.
It is a 120 ml eau de cologne at just 10 euros. But I think it is extremely enjoyable.
I think it's kind of Cool Water but with green tones instead of aquatic tones. A fresh, clean and green scent.
Generally reported to other perfumes (pleasant smell, 1 hour projection, longevity of 4-5 hours) I could say that is for me 7.5 / 10.
If I report everything at the price, I personally think it is 5 * / 5 * and for me it is the leader in its price category.

If it weren't for Cool Water....

...we would probably have a lot more variety in scents. So many fragrances out on the market today take advantage of similar notes that made Cool Water so popular.

Aspen for Men is not an exception. There is definitely a Cool Water vibe going on top and heart with the lavender and mint, along with the amber and oakmoss in the base. Aspen smells more astringent, greener, and far less complex than Cool Water, but they are definitely cousins in some respects. Both evoke a freshly showered feeling, and both last quite well. Both can also be had for incredibly reasonable prices nowadays....not the case when I used Aspen regularly.

So, would I say Aspen is a great substitute for Cool Water? No...Cool Water is much more complex and satisfying to wear than Aspen. However, that does not mean Aspen is a bad fragrance. It is simply less complex. Simple in this case is a good thing; none of the notes smell cheap (unlike some much more expensive designer brands), and it can be had for reasonable at almost any drug store, or for incredibly cheap online.

I would quite happily suggest Aspen as a gift for someone who is younger, maybe a teenage boy's first fragrance, or for someone who isn't a fragrance aficionado and just wants to smell good and clean. It excels at both of these. Plus it's easy on the pocket book.

It's very affordable

The greener aspects of Cool water. The Green of the Irish tweed. It's like 15 bucks at Walmart for a big ass bottle of it. If you don't like it, keep it for your car. The black ice air freshener for cars that everyone likes so much was trying to copy this scent profile. It's close but it aint Aspen.

Very nice, fresh, upscale and practical.

On top a little sharp, artificial, projects a little too much for my taste, then the dry down is a very pleasant upmarket surprise. It's GIT or as good in the dry down for all practical purposes. It lasts a solid 8 hours on me and then some. After about three and a half hours a skin sent but very much there for close handshake or hug. My signature fragrance for 45 years has been Guerlain Vetiver eau de toilette. I'm very hard to please and this is quite a departure. I spray only twice on my neck after shower (terrible sprayer sprays 1/2 what most others do). That's probably because after 45 years I'm used to the modest, extreme sobriety and low projection of Guerlain Vetiver eau de toilette. This is understated, clean, classic, fantastic stuff for 10 bucks!!! GREAT for after a shower and just playing around in the yard or whatever 65% of the time. Use your $100+ signature fragrance the rest of the time.

Not quite GIT, leans more to CW but without the unpleasant aquatic note. I was surprised at how fresh, green and enjoyable to wear this is.

My first frag ever. Sharp, lemony pine in the opening, with a GIT-esque drydown. Dirt cheap and a decent staple of the budget woodsman.

Starts off exactly (!) like CW, but after a few hours a lingering note of GIT appears. Very good for the price demanded.

Classic. Smells like a day at the lake in the middle of a forest. Unfortunately it ends there as the performance and longevity leave much 2 be desired
