At North Cothelstone Hall, the estate of Lord and Lady Hesketh-Fortescue, besides their youngest son Meredith, are also the cousins Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth from the neighboring villages of Middle Fritham and Nether Addlethorpe, as well as an uncle of Lady Hesketh-Fortescue, the 79-year-old Jasper Fetherstone, whose property Thrumpton Castle is currently rented to Lord Molesworth-Houghton, a cousin of Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth. Gwyneth Molesworth had procured a tie for Lord Hesketh-Fortescue in Nether Addlethorpe, but left it at Thrumpton Castle with Lord Molesworth-Houghton. Lady Hesketh-Fortescue suspects her husband of spending last weekend with Priscilla Molesworth in Middle Fritham. At the same time, Meredith Hesketh-Fortescue finds on a carriage ride with Jasper Fetherstone from Friddle. uh. Fiddle Mith...Middle Fritham to North Cothelstone Hall in Thrumpton Castle the tie from Nathel.. Naddle... Excuse me... Nether Addlethorpe...

Tweed immediately reminded me of it. It smells so damn English. A robust, soapy Chypre of the old class, which I can wonderfully imagine on a "Rottweiler," as Lady Di affectionately called them, or even on Princess Anne. Priscilla and Gwyneth Molesworth, as well as Lady Hesketh-Fortescue and her son Meredith, could also have enjoyed it.

The opening is herb-citrusy, but is softened by cinnamon and jasmine, drifting directly into a dry-soapy finish. A pleasantly unsweet floral bed spreads in the heart of the fragrance, but retains a slightly musty undertone throughout the entire scent journey. It somehow reminds me of the smell of an old laundry room, where clothes are also mangled and starched at the same time. Lavender and orange blossom water are sprayed on the laundry to scent it while smoothing. The soapy haze of the lye still lingers in the air.
There is no trace of floral frill, feminine nonsense, nor any freshness kick or cuddly effect. Tweed smells clean, but in a completely unfashionable way, very conservative and straightforward.
In the dry down, it convinces with a soapy-dry and charmingly mossy Chypre base. The longevity is excellent!
~
Conclusion:
This fragrance is very retro, very British, and totally conservative. All of this makes it somehow quirky and gives it a special charm. It pairs brilliantly with a tweed jacket and a great vintage briefcase. Of course, in combination with a crisp pair of jeans! I, for one, will wear it when I go pheasant hunting with Prince Charles.

It's definitely worth taking a sniff... um, excuse me, a whiff!
~
(Where to get it? Best to fish for it in the English bay.)
~
And I found this as well:
Tweed is a sensual woody floral fragrance with an emphasis on a dark, captivating rugged-woody mystique, with floral notes adding an intoxicating feminine touch. Despite its rich depth and mystery, Tweed is not too heavy or pretentious. The base is very seductive; neither sweet nor soft, more with a sense of perfect balance of natural essences. Described by Maryel Tweed in 1933.
