GREEN IRISH

Creed Green Irish Tweed (often called GIT) is one of the most iconic and influential fragrances in history. Launched in 1985, it is the definitive "gentleman’s scent," designed to evoke the lush, rain-drenched rolling hills of the Irish countryside.

1. The Scent Profile: "The Quintessential Green"

Green Irish Tweed is a Woody Floral Musk (specifically an Aromatic Fougere). It is famous for its natural, "crisp" quality that smells like fresh air and cut grass.

• Top Notes (The Opening): A sharp, invigorating burst of Lemon Verbena and Peppermint. It feels cooling and bright.

   

• Heart Notes (The Mid): As it settles, the "green" character takes over with Violet Leaves and Iris. This gives it a slightly powdery, sophisticated, and earthy floral feel.

   

• Base Notes (The Dry Down): The finish is smooth and rich, featuring Mysore Sandalwood and Creed’s signature Ambergris, which adds a salty, skin-like warmth and incredible depth.

   

2. Performance & Longevity

• Longevity: Generally very good for a fresh fragrance, lasting 7–10 hours.

   

• Sillage (Projection): Moderate. It creates a refined "scent bubble" around you. It’s not a loud, "beast mode" fragrance; it’s meant to be discovered, not announced.

   

• Best Seasons: While it can be worn year-round, it is widely considered the "King of Spring" because its verdant notes perfectly match the blooming season.

3. The Heritage & Vibe

• The Inspiration: Inspired by the Creed family’s tailoring roots, it is meant to feel like a perfectly fitted tweed jacket—rugged yet sophisticated.

   

• Famous Wearers: It has famously been the signature scent of Hollywood legends like Cary Grant, Richard Gere, and Robert Redford.

• The Vibe: It smells "expensive," clean, and mature. It’s the scent of someone who is confident, successful, and doesn't need to try too hard.
