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!

Sometimes it is just for me
Old, mature, outdated, barbershop, cloned, not worth it. BS.

This one is just for me. In the morning or evening when I grab that black matte bottle and spray on my neck and chest it is for me. I am instantly transformed to a good mood on the edge of a Hobbit trilogy, deep in my own mind back in Montana on a walk through the dense forest right after a heavy rain.

Not coniferous, not earthy, fresh and lively like an ozone blast across a thick, grass meadow deep in the woods, far away from all chaos and calamity. Soothing, rich, natural. Cool water splashes by but its namesake doesn't match this solid king. It stands alone, to reign amongst the dew dropped meadows deep in the wet forests of my mind.

Signature worthy, any time worthy, nothing compares or lasts as long. It is there until you put it to rest and even then it hints the next day on a shirt, a collar, a pillow case.

A Whiff Of Sophistication
If there were a single perfect word to describe GIT, it would be ‘masterpiece.’ This fragrance has set future trends that remain visible today. Despite the emergence of numerous imitations, GIT maintains its unique character, appealing to fragrance enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and perfume consumers worldwide. As a classic in the perfume world, it continues to leave an indelible mark, reminding us of the artistic beauty that can be captured within a single scent.

TOP NOTES
What I experience in the opening is essentially the same as what I encountered eight years ago when I owned the old-style 120ml bottle: a fresh blend of herbs and citruses. Primarily, the lemon verbena effect stands out alongside a clean representation of ozonic violet. Nothing more, and nothing less, except for the clear presence of ambergris, noticeable from start to finish. Yes, there’s also a subdued aquatic vibe, which is short-lived and fades away in the heart notes.

HEART NOTES
As the heart notes begin to unfold, the zestiness from the opening starts to dissipate, and we are welcomed by a magnificent introduction of aromatic, natural-smelling lavender, and powdery iris. To my nose, this reveals a more intricate and nuanced olfactory experience, building upon the fresh and invigorating top notes. The perfectly executed blend of floral and woody elements adds additional depth and character to the scent profile and is a joy to experience for anyone who loves to smell like a true representation of nature.

BASE NOTES
The dry down is where the fragrance is at its best if you ask me. Most of the aforementioned notes are still slightly detectable and sit beneath the salty and musky ambergris, woods, and oakmoss. This oakmoss is actually a modern representation of the same note found in the perfumes from the ’70s and the ’80s, which means it doesn’t smell dated at all. These deeper, more sensual, and comforting aromas round up the experience in the classic brand fashion we are all probably familiar with.

OVERALL
Comparing GIT to Davidoff’s Cool Water is understandable, as most fragrance enthusiasts started with the latter rather than an expensive niche perfume. I first owned a bottle of GIT in 2014 or 2015, marking my introduction to this niche house. Despite my love for Aventus, Millésime Impérial, Royal Oud, and Erolfa, GIT holds a special place as my first love in the fragrance world. For these reasons, it receives my highest recommendation as a must-have fragrance in your collection.

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.

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

A super classic masculine cologne but I honestly think it would be gorgeous on a woman. It's as suitable to a 25 y/o as it is to a 65 y/o.

A classic herby scent that is mature, but not old. Unfortunately, too pricy

Loved the fresh, green opening, like rolling in the bushes. After that it became too soapy and generic.
