Reviewing Green Irish Tweed for the first time. www.aaronteren... Instagram - AaronTerenceHughes Music: Sleepdebt - I C U #FragranceReview #Creed #GreenIrishTweed
I guy I used to work with wore it. A real nice funny guy who enjoyed the finer things in life. Came into the office one day wearing it and I shouted over Ah you're rocking the cool water today...His face dropped😂
Dude, I had a cousin blind smell GIT and he yelled “Cool Water, 100%”! I told him it was Creed and that I paid $230 for it and he laughed soo F*%#ing hard. 😢
Cool water nowhere near close. Theres difference cool water smells synthetic. Green Irish tweed way cleaner. The People says negative about this , obviously don’t know anything fragrances. 😊
@@eugenegutierrez5106 To an untrained nose it most definitely does! Let’s be honest here and look at the fact the same perfumer created both. The similarities are there my friend.
This is their best, for me at least, it's just so consistently pleasing throughout its wear time, and the various different batches of it don't seem to change the heart of the fragrance too much.
This and Royal Oud are the only two Creeds I genuinely enjoy, with Royal Oud being the only one I would actually pay money for, at least the amount Creed is asking. So I really hope you get to review it one day. Knowing how critical you are towards anything that says Oud, I think your take on it would be very interesting!
you inspired my son to become a perfume making hobbiest, he built a complete lab in his basement... so far, results are not great, but he is having fun! I love Green Irish Tweed, it is my daily wear and even i do a squirt at night, put on rain sounds, and drift off to sleep. Boss Bitch is my favorite of yours, i wear it when i go out. Thanks for the amazing content on youtube!!
Love this offering from Creed. Was the very first one I bought back in 2002. Smelled better years ago, but is still a classy force to be reckoned with. Thanks for reviewing this.
@@hobbob9938 Creed didn't give him credit so he took his formula and shopped it around. No one would give him the time of day until Davidoff stepped in.
A shame Creed has become a weak performer in general. 🤔 (Layered on my skin 1 spray of an old formulation of Aventus completely dominated 4 sprays of 1 Million.)
Yeah, it's nice, but Creed are ridiculously overpriced. I think people are starting to realise that Creed aren't as good as Creed makes themselves out to be. They have some very good frags, but maybe not great.
didnt he already do indirectly? knowing that aaron does not like aquatics 😊 however, there is a nice parfums vintage revival of the vintage git version i highly recommend
Funny, I just did. 🙂 Having them next to each other. Asking some women if they're alike (next to another not that similar) and which one is better smelling (Creed, but expected, given the price).
They reason reason they smell similar is because the perfumer that did both of these fragrances is Pierre Bourdon (who didn’t get credit for it from Creed). Bourdon took the same formula and shopped it around to designers, was getting turned down by the big names until Davidoff came and said “heck yeah we’ll take this!”. To the average person, Cool Water and Green Irish Tweed smell identical.
Probably because he’s trying to get in to your wallet as well. Why do you think all his videos are “This is great…….but I would do it so much better for so much cheaper”” He’s reviewing fragrances, pretending to be on your side while basically doing a commercial for his brand. Why sell you a link when he can sell your a fragrance of which he’s the owner.
@@Fragrancenoob what? Lmao. His fragrances are sometimes three times the price of what he’s reviewing. He doesn’t at all say it how you’re trying to say he does… that’s crazy.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought GIT and I must say, the drydown is where the magic happens for me, and where the clones come short. There are some clones with similar opening, but noen of them has the beautiful drydown the original has. Love this one! 🥰
Perfumed by Pierre Bourdon in 1985. He tweaked the formula into Cool Water a couple years later. Yes, it used to be stronger. Progressively watered down over the last 10-ish years. Same as the rest of the Creed line As always, good job Aaron.
I wore this to my college graduation this spring. So it will always be special to me even if there are others in my collection that my friends and family prefer on me.
Erolfa is the creed that really stands out to me, feels quality in a way that warrants the price (unlike the others😅) hope you get the chance to review it
I have a bottle of this from just under 3 years ago. It lasts a full day, and I only really like it after it dries down a for a bit and mellows out. Its way too strong right after I spray it.
I’ve had 4 bottles of this over the years, first bottle in 2005, last bottle in 2020. It’s really not changed at all, although some would disagree. Great performance, lasts all day on my skin, even the 2020 bottle. A great fragrance all round, something about it I just love.
This might be a little off for some reason but they don't "NEED"to change it at first place. The man behind making this perfume don't get credit for such great craft by creed so he decide to left and join the join new company and made "COOL WATER"that's why GIT AND COOL WATER smell the same. You can find cool water for like 15$.one can assume very easy that how much cost of this perfume called G I T by creed. They can go with it without any problum. I have COOL WATER EDP smells Bater then G I T✌️
I seriously can’t see how anyone could want to smell like Irish Spring SOAP! Reminds me of my old next door neighbors bathroom. Bc they used Irish Spring soap. I smelled this for the first time and was so excited at Bloomingdale’s and I was seriously this is what everyone’s likes? To smell like Irish Spring soap bar? Mmmmmkaaaay
I can smell a bit of this in the drydown of Millesime imperial as well. The Creed fragrances have a bit of overlap, as we know. And from internet rumors (possibly based in fact), this is one of Pierce Brosnan`s (007), favorite fragrances.
I think GIT is nice but not amazing and I certainly would not spend the money on it. Not sure how Creed are going to continue as a house going forward, unless they come up with some new and exciting releases. By the way a fragrance I really love right now is Amouroud Hinoki wood, I would love to you see you review it and get the ATH critique..😁
Yes i thought I’d gone crazy, I was sure Aaron had reviewed this and said it smelt really 80’s. I love it anyway so the more reviews from him about it the better 😅 And for other people who love GIT so have a similar nose to me my top 5 favourites ATH fragrances are 1) Haze Black 2) High Voltage (discontinued 😢) 3) Notorious 4) Oxytocin 5) Onyx
Hi, is it pronounced "vetiver" (as it is spelled) or as you are saying it, "vertiver", or is this just a regional pronunciation you are using? Thank you
On Fragmentals channel when you blind smelled Green Irish Tweed you said it smelled blue and that you didn't like it. Has your opinion changed on this fragrance? I remember you weren't liking Creed fragrances.
If you were to build a better version of Green Irish Tweed, you'd have a tough time keeping it on the shelves. This is beloved by everyone around me, but the cost is prohibitive.
I used to wear Davidoff Cool Water in my Highschool years. I recently got a sample of GIT and it immediately smelled like CW to me. It would be interesting to see you do a comparison. I also did not know that they were both done by the same perfumer. Makes sense.
Hello Aaron, is there by any chnace, a posssibilty of you opening a factory or a parfumery inside of the EU. I'd gladly buy your fragrances always directly from your web site, as I find them very interesting and nice and want to give the money directly to you, but sadly UK left the EU and along with it came these pretty much big import taxes and duties on everything from outside the EU. I wanted to buy Daddy from your web site but unfortunately would need to pay about 60 euros only for import taxes and then 7 euro plus for duties( I live in Germany) wich makes it a bit, hmm to much. Are there maybe parfumeries inside Germany that offer your parfumes?
Absolutely gorgeous perfume, got a bottle for my birthday, it's just me! I absolutely love it. It doesn't last very long that's the only problem. Keep up the great work 👍
On have they changed, I think it's generally accepted since Creed was acquired their performance of many favourites have dropped, MI, GIT, Aventus etc.
my grandpa got a bottle of this as a gift and basically never used it. gave it to me and it was the only perfume i wore for about a decade. then i found perfume insanity on youtube. this was still one of my go to scents, but recently your bois eternal has replaced it as that is just so good. id love to see your take on a green irish tweed pushed to the max.
No one reviews fragances more in-depth, or with more intuitive knowledge than Aaron. Thank you very much for your reviews. You're the only reviewer who comes across completely honest, and with great knowledge.
McDonalds St. Patrick's Day milkshake (as I imagine such a thing to smell!). In a good way, genuinely-pure green & creamy. But that's kind of it. Prob a great smell to wear in a suit in the spring (or everyday in the spring). Just think green & creamy, and you've got it.
I was a creed guy it was my gateway drug into cologne but I eventually got the blue beast from amouage and you could really see the quality differences. Amouage is wildly expensive but you can get a discounted bottle here and there that are legit . I got interlude black iris for much less than this fragrance retails for and the quality difference is massive .
I have a older bottle of GIT in the 4 oz bottle, and a newer bottle from 2020. I can say between my bottles the 4 oz and the 2020 that my older one lasts longer and projects better ever so slightly. GIT was my first niche fragrance so it holds a special place in my heart, it is truly fantastic and my favorite Creed.
maybe it's because the older bottle has been macerating for so long? lots of people say Creed needs to have a few month after first spraying it for the oils and everything to start playing fully.
@@rncrntdh8 Could be? Not 100% sure, but I know something like this happened to my bottle of Viking that I bought new, was not a big fan, then on a whim about 6 months down the line tried it again, totally different smell for the better.
@@imaquis8368 yeap, that's probably true. Will monitor my recently bought GIT for the next few month, but honestly the modern juice in there seems to perform very good even without maceration.
DO NOT buy Creed fragrances anymore!!!!!!!!! They used to be my go to house 7 - 9 years ago. It's not the same at all the fragrances are highly concentrated & watered down. I used to put on a Creed and get compliments 8 hours later from a distance. Todays Creed will last no more than 60-90 minutes and even at that the scent is so much weaker. It's a real shame what greed can do to companies.
The *orginal* non-reformatuated was less expensive than today's version and well worth the *price* because it was long lasting and a *champion* for the *price* back then.
Actually you smelled this years ago blindly with Chris(Frag-mental) 😊 I guess you said something like “its smells like 90’s rockstars”😂 you said its Ok back in the time and I agree. Good smelling but expensive fragrance get it you’ll get compliments but its not ground breaking or anything.
This fragrance will always hold a special place in my heart as it was one of the more elegant fragrances I had tried and actually could still smell on my pillow the next time I went to lie down and there was something about the majestic matte bottle which tilted it's top hat towards Cary Grant for whom the fragrance was created. I don't think it is as powerful as it use to be (sadly). I took a chance once and bought one of ebay from a guy in my country who's girlfriend bought it from an upscale department store but he just didn't care for it. Turned out to be the real schnizzle for 65$. I don't recommend ebay for Creed generally as it is a real crap shoot.
As if I were in a court. 😄. I did actually recently learn George Washington was a fan of perfume. Caswell-Messey is the name of the brand, and they still make it (though of course the formula has changed)
Creed is amazing. It's been long understood that they've provided the highest levels of perfumery for kings and queens going back eons, including rumors that their family line provided scent experiences for the ancient Mu and Atlantis lost civilizations. Apparently, even for the Pleiadians and Andromedans (tho they keep that on the down-low). This history enables them to charge ten times more for GIT than Cool Water charges, which is the same fragrance...the same, but without the royal history, interplanetary relations and subsequent social proof.
"We have also perfume-houses; wherewith we join also practices of taste. We multiply smells, which may seem strange. We imitate smells, making all smells to breathe out of other mixtures than those that give them." - Sir Francis Bacon, in his book, "The New Atlantis" (published in the year 1626).
Aaron, I loved your review of Creed's Green Irish Tweed. Many people have reviewed this fragrance but your review is the BEST by far. There are fragrance reviews and then there are reviews by Aaron Terence Hughes. I have said it before and I always will say that your reviews are the gold standard of fragrance reviews.
I tested a vintage batch versus mine, which is a 17Y01, and I noticed a difference (the vintage smell more "floral", and mine is more "greener"). About the performance, I got 10 hours (and more) of performance
Royal oud is prob their best from the line in my opinion a have many creed frags and love them all. GIT is definitely up there as well. I just received a bottle of Erolfa and it seems somewhat changed from what I remember but I still love it. Definitely fits an older demographic but it’s very well done.
Urgh! A OLD cologne from 1985 still in the SUPER HIGH PRICE range? FOR SHAME. Isn't it about time that Creed Fragrances lowered the price on the OLD Green Irish Tweed so regular folks can afford it? I mean come on even Dana got it together & lowered their English Leather to affordable prices. Shame on Creed Fragrances for selling an OLD COLOGNE GIT for more than $80 for 3.4oz. Asking $300-$400 for a 3.4oz bottle that dates back 38 years is SUPER GREEDY. Maybe Creed should change the company name to GREED FRAGRANCES.
The scent is just perfect for me. It's masculine without being aggressively metallic or loud. I don't wear loads of scent. I go light with colognes and that's the first of only two downwides with Creed fragrances. They use ambergris and old-timey ingredients so their fragrances don't have much hang-time. It's 50% worn off by the afternoon. The top notes are all worn off after a few hours and there's just the base-layer is left. I used to keep a tiny decanted atomizer in my desk at work to reload some later in the day. The other thing is the cost. It's excessive, as the video points out, especially for a scent that wears off rather quickly.
Anyone who wears this fragrance today (2023) can give a genuine feedback about longevity on skin/clothes and sillage? I love this fragrance but I have only tried on my wrist from a tester bottle at John Lewis and I d like to hear some of you! Thank you!
You think the cologne you sprayed is gone because your brain stops processing a scent if you smell it continually for about 20-30 minutes. I don't know why so many people don't know about this. This is why people overspray their colognes and smell like they just broke their bottle of cologne over their heads or something 😂
I’m worried this is going to turn into Aventus, where there’s millions of clones and shit loads of fakes. 90% of the lads in the bar will claim to be wearing GIT. GIT in my opinion is the best from the creed line. Do what I do and don’t tell anyone else about it. The less people know, in terms of general people who wear designer, the less chance clones and copies will come about. Obviously it’s been out decades now but still keep it quiets. The last thing we want again is another Aventus cult following
My favorite new cologne. I bought a bottle for around $250. My brother said why would you spend so much. What a waste of money. The bottle will last the whole year..
Why are people comparing this to Cool Water? Cool water smells like fruity vomit diluted with water. Also, how is this light and airy? It’s very woodsy and green with some dank notes. Mine lasts all day.
I get 8-10 hours out of this fragrance and wafts throughout most of the wear. Absolutely in love after I got a tester definitely full bottle worthy for me !
I have a 2020 batch bottle of GiT and I hardly ever use it. Primary reason? It doesn't last beyond the first 2 - 3 hours. I was given a 2015 sample of it a while back, and it is noticeably better, both in strength and longevity. Not that I'm even remotely surprised... Creed have been fleecing their loyal customers for at least seven years now. I won a 90% full bottle of July 2019 Royal Oud in a competition, and I'm so, so glad I never actually bought a full bottle of pre-2017. In fact, I have absolutely no intention of buying ANYTHING from them that isn't at least seven or eight years old.
When you people compare this to cool water It makes me sick to my stomach...i got a 2022 batch of GIT It smells less verbena than 2021, but Is more balanced with sandalwood and ambergris. No doubt Is reformulated or deconcentrated. But the quality Is there. Projection Is 3 hours and longevity Is 6 hours on my skin. For me its ok. Well i Will obviusly use also vintage bottles...but the 2022 its fine and this DNA Is not so common...
current cool water formulations are very chemical but those vintage batches (from lancaster) are so similar to GIT and yet not as synthetic as current one
Dig ur content! Really stoked to check out boss bitch lol maybe for Xmas fingers crossed. I’m hoping maybe u could do a review of Golden Myrrh by Zegna someday sometime! Best regards! Keep up the good work!!
I realy enjoy your work here. For me the best channel about perfumery. There is a particular house i would love to see on your channel altough i guess they will not be your favorites. It´s called Heretic and my Number One is Dirty Grass. The marketing is all about natural ingredients and so called clean chemicals, probably a very different angle in comparison and maybe something you would not like so much. Anyway, your comment would mean a lot to me. Dearest Greetings from Germany☺️
Hey Aaron can i suggest you to review guerlain l'homme ideal line (extreme and edp version). Recently I bought extreme and smelt edp, nothing like them, very unique scents, i think you would like it. Only bad thing about them they don't last long. Big regards.
