Green Irish Tweed;
25 years ago I first met my husband at the family doctor in the waiting room. I walked into the waiting room and smelled a wonderful scent. There were two men and a woman in the waiting room and immediately had it (who is now my husband) wearing this wonderful fragrance. Believe it or not, "it was love at first sight" for me. He started to talk to me and I found him once more charming and nice. When I was ready himself to the family doctor he was waiting for me outside and we made an appointment. My husband has worn over the years, of course, many other odors (there I made sure of: (- but this remains his signature scent).
Green Irish Tweed is refined, clean, fresh and stylish. On the right man, the smell is sexy and seductive.
As I described to women breathtaking (at least for me) ........

Fresh and pure...
What a great smelling fragrance! It really feels like walking through the countryside on a cold, dewy morning... with the aromas of the vegetation and greenery mixed with that cold, damp air!

To me there is a lot going on here. Lemon verbena, moss, some orris, sandalwood and ambergirs. It's an incredible smell. I think this is quite pleasing and inoffensive, everyone will like this. On the other hand, I do feel that looking back, even though it is a great example of it's kind, it's not as incredible a smell as people make it out to be. That's probably because it's a victim of it's own success I guess. The comparisons to the aquatic fragrances seem to knock this down a little. I for one like it very much, but the comparisons are there.

Again, as with all Creed fragrances, it's up to you to decide whether to spend the money for a full bottle or not. If it smells great to you, and you have the money, sure. I do appreciate what it does but I still think there are a host of fragrances which have copied this at a lower price point. A victim of it's own success perhaps, but still a great classic of male fragrances. Very very good!

Creed is messing with you
And so I thought this would be a fragrance as green as grass. It appears so even in the first couple of minutes: an almost gourmand-green smell welcomes you. Basil, tomato leaf, that kind of green. This is not for me was my initial reaction.

However, later in the game it’s like you’re at this party and someone throws you into the swimming pool! Aquatic freshness slaps you around the ears and suddenly I get the link to Davidoff’s Cool Water. I love that phase! I’m not a big fan of CW because that one has a weird synthetic backbone but Green Irish Tweed is completely lacking that headache inducing element.

After an hour of two there’s nothing left but a citric woody backbone. Nice, but I wish the party lasted just a little bit longer.

No person into masculine leaning scents should be without
Although this is fresh, it’s more like a noble freshness. Crisp, green and timeless the lemon verbena and violet leaf works so well in this that I think they are the stars of the show. I will say I do get a sense of “Irish spring soap“ in this, but I know that not everybody does and with that I mean it in a very good way.

This fragrance doesn’t chase trends because it is the actual benchmark. Even though it’s been around for a long time, I feel like if it were to come out anew today it would still be beloved.

Distinct green, lemony, minty, herbal opening; smoothened out by soft florals.
Refreshing/aquatic vibe throughout.
Clean, mossy woods base

One of the couple creeds i can still confidently recommend people still get (not at full retail though). Long lasting, timeless smell.

Grass clippings. A timeless fragrance in the same sense that mowing your yard is timeless.

This smells incredible. Similarities to cool water are overblown, as the Davidoff smells cheap. The drydown here is amazing and unexpected.

Very grassy green and fresh opening that somehow turns oily smelling to me after about 20 minutes.

Fresh, green and aquatic. In the opening, it's citrusy with lemon verbena, floral with violet and iris. Slightly salty from the ambergris.

Ok, I caved and bought a full bottle. This is so much better than all the other similar things. Now I'm poor but smell really good! :)

Green, vegetal, soapy. Pick up the violet leaf & oakmoss most, with a clean mossy dry down. If green velvet had a scent, it would be this.
