Green Irish Tweed is the men’s eau de parfum that Creed dates to 1985 and credits to Olivier Creed, a fougère the house ties to its tailoring past and to the Irish landscape. Peppermint, verbena and lemon open onto geranium, lavender and violet, resting on sandalwood, cedar, Ambroxan and oakmoss.
Marin Kristic (Scent Grail) considers Green Irish Tweed a model of its genre: a green, zesty opening of lemon verbena, a heart of lavender and powdery iris, a salty, musky base he prefers above all, and a classic its imitations have not eclipsed.
What critics say
Scent Grail: a founding classic
Marin Kristic, on January 4, 2024, describes a clean, zesty, green opening, dominated by lemon verbena and an ozonic violet. To him, the heart reveals a natural-smelling aromatic lavender and a powdery iris, in a seamless floral and woody bouquet.
For him the base is the best moment: salty, musky ambergris, woods and a modern-style oakmoss that does not feel dated. He notes the removal of ambergris from the official notes and judges that the many imitations have not dethroned this 1985 classic.
