Our take

What does Green Irish Tweed smell like?

Released in 1985, Green Irish Tweed conjures the Irish countryside and tweed-clad gentlemen, imagery close to the heart of the Creed house. It is a green fougère of remarkable clarity. The opening pairs lemon verbena and peppermint with a lightly powdered iris. In the heart, violet leaf takes command: green, damp and almost sharp, softened by iris and a clover note that recalls cut grass. Sandalwood, ambergris and musk in the base add a smooth, slightly salty texture that stretches the clean freshness. Often cited among the great green masculines, it stays composed and elegant without any heaviness.

When to wear it

Perfect in spring and summer, with light tailoring or smart casual clothes. It appeals to men who love distinguished green scents.

VerdictA masterly, refined green freshness whose restraint may feel too classic for some.

It belongs to the Fougère, Aromatic family. Green Irish Tweed is one of 5 creations by Creed in our encyclopedia.
