Green Irish Tweed

I held off on getting this for ages because of people's lukewarm impressions and comparison to Coolwater which I'm not insane about, but I sampled it at a super cool little shop in the Maine Mall today, and my mind is blown. I ordered a tester from Jomashop in the parking lot because I was so impressed, but it took a minute. I went to the pool and it washed off, so I can't smell it right now to give better initial impressions, other than to say that particularly after a decent dry down, the gentle green/floral notes mixed with the incredibly smooth and inoffensive musk that they use create one of the best fresh men's scents that I've ever smelled. It performs incredibly well it seems, too. I had it sprayed on my left wrist, and on the right I had Patek Maison Prisme Rouge which is a pretty bold BR540/Kalan type scent, and all I could smell the rest of the day was the Tweed. In the air after dry down, I think it is incredible. I can see why so many people wear it. It's such an iconic-feeling fresh scent with a clearly expensive finish on it. I can't wait for the bottle to come. I'm so hype. Already feeling like it might be time to sell off a few redundant bottles and get a little stock of this going. Never thought I'd get to the point where 200USD bottles sound like a bargain

My all-time favorite scent so far. Fresh, haylike and grassy; soapy, masculine, and excellent projection for the first few hours, but stays on skin and clothes for a long time. It's classy for date night, but safe for the office and the heat. I'm about 3/5ths of the way through a bottle I got in May, because I wear it quite often. It's great in the Texas heat, and I'm overall such a huge fan of this profile. Aspen and Cool Water are some pretty solid smell-alikes if you're looking to try it out, But the opening is so unique, and the drydown here is the deepest and longest lasting of the three. Fantastic scent, I'll always keep a bottle of this around. Highly recommend!!

Inconsistent. That's the one word I use to describe Green Irish Tweed. Don't even need to mention how much of a classic this fragrance is (RIP, dicks out for Olivier Creed). The impression of this scent largely depends on when you use it. During summer, you get this beautiful blossoming iris mixed with creamy sandalwood that projects well, and if you use this during colder less sweaty weather, you will get a wet, sloppy mess that resembles a dying iris; rotten, and putrid. Not a scent I reach for regularly, but when I do, I really have to look at the weather and pray the coin lands on heads for me to enjoy the scent.

Think of a $500 bar of green soap. This fragrance smells like something only a person with a lot of money would wear (which makes sense because of the price tag) but I only wore it because I had a sample. Anyways, I don't really get the iris or lemon notes that much which says a lot since iris is my favourite note and I would recognise it if i smell it. This smell mainly comes from the violet leaf and actually makes me feel like I'm in the Irish countryside (although I never been). Has to be one the the best Creeds.

A smooth, bittersweet green scent with iris, violet leaf and sandalwood, slightly zesty and well blended through the drydown. It feels green and damp, elegant and classic, with a mature, serious masculinity. A sophisticated, unique fragrance I enjoy.
