Green Irish Tweed by Creed

Many thanks to

for hooking this up for me on a Costco sale. Wanted to get my nose back on this. Sadly my 2nd OG 120ml bottle was long gone. This frag was always an easy work safe grab for me. We all know I have issues with this venerable company that imho has vastly deteriorated into a horrible house.

So what’s the difference you ask? Well I wish I could say I was pleasantly surprised but no. Let’s break it down.

The frag has been reformulated multiple times over the last 30 years and not for the better. Does it smell the same? Absolutely not. Is it similar? Yes. But it’s like the same company made a dupe of their own frag. So. 4 sprays this morning lends this result.

Scent. Clean nice and office safe. Not abrasive at all.

Longevity? I got 4 hours on skin today and it was gone. Vague hints of it lingering on clothing still at 7 hours.

Projection? Minimal at best.

Sillage? Maybe 1-2 feet but not great and the sillage didn’t last very long either.

In today’s market I could never ever recommend buying this one. It’s at best an edt performance frag. Maybe an aftershave concentration.

Breaks my heart as I remember when this came out in 1985 and it was absolutely GROUNDBREAKING. Fast forward 41 years and it honestly should be sold in no better the bath and bodywork’s. Or Walgreens.

I will say the cap and atomizer is vastly better than the OG though. Brothers here may not know that at one point Greed made shaving soaps as well. I still have an OG one from 1995ish. I have better longevity off the soap then I do with this(supposedly )“EDP” concentration.

Not recommended sadly and I am only keeping it off of its legacy honor from my old stable of frags.

Sad to say it’s a 5/10 imho. Breaks my heart brothers.
