Green Irish Tweed

Creed dates Green Irish Tweed to 1985 and credits it to Olivier Creed, a descendant of the house’s founding family. Its historical narrative says it was first composed for a film-industry client, a figure of masculine elegance on screen, and offered to the public a few years later.

Tweed and the Emerald Isle

Today the house presents Green Irish Tweed as a classic fougère tied to its couture heritage. Tweed here evokes the hues of nature, the sea, rock, moss, heath and rain, and a bygone era of horseback riding across Irish country estates.

Creed recalls its ties with the Linton Tweed Mill in Cumbria, dating back to the 1920s, when it was a Parisian fashion house. It ranks the fragrance among its Millésime-quality creations, a term borrowed from wine to designate a great vintage.

A disputed authorship

Luca Turin, in Perfumes: The Guide in 2008, attributes the composition to Pierre Bourdon, who signed Cool Water for Davidoff three years later, on a structure he considers similar. Creed, for its part, names only Olivier Creed.

The current narrative

Creed describes an aromatic, fresh fougère with a clean, natural scent of cut grass and sea breeze, ending on a dry, grassy, hay-like note. The house offers it as an eau de parfum, in 50 and 100 ml.
