One of my favorites, been wearing from years - be careful where you buy
By Enigma
I was introduced to Creed several years ago by my personal shopper at Neiman Marcus. I have only seen Creed in high end department stores (e.g. Neiman Marcus, Harrods and now some Nordstroms) and boutiques. Last I checked Harrods and Neiman won't sell online (but Creed online boutique will). I was surprised to see Creed being sold by discount fragrance sites. But, there is a reason you 'think' you are saving $100-$150.Like any fragrance, Creed will 'wilt' with age. Don't buy a bottle and expect it to smell the same in a year or two as the day you picked it up. Especially, higher end Extraits and EdPs. Based on some of the reviews it sounds like those that say it has no staying power, it doesn't smell right, etc. have picked up some 'old' bottles or just not familiar with Creed. There is also the body chemistry variable that goes for any fragrance.Though, the way some are comparing it to low end colognes du jour that I haven't looked at in over 10-years rather than a line in a similar price range like Chanel Exclusifs tells me that some are looking for and expecting something very different. Creed is the only one I know of that uses a very traditional process hand picking ingredients and making by hand. This, of course, creates something very much different than what many have grown used to - don't ever expect Irish Tweed or any Creed product to be like anything else or 'hit' you the same way. I find this very appealing. This isn't some propaganda - you can visit the house of Creed, which is one of the few commissioned houses left. They will make you a custom fragrance - just bring the Centurion with you.I don't compare Creed to anything but themselves. They are that unique and different. I am a fan of Chanel Exclusifs as well, but there is NO WAY to compare them. They are both great in their own way, but both take on their own house's signature.I've noticed several have mentioned something to the effect of "I can't put my finger on it" - that's the perfect way to describe any Creed fragrance. Irish Tweed is very complex and you will never smell anything like it elsewhere. It is really unique and trying to describe it in words, especially in writing, is very difficult. I can tell you that I receive a lot of compliments on it and because it 'wears with time', in other words it gently and nicely changes notes the longer you wear it and it works with your body chemistry it's not uncommon for me to see someone in the morning and receive a "wow, you smell good - what is that?" then later in the day see the same person "Did you change colognes? I think I like this one better than what you had on this morning."Irish Tweed is VERY unique, complex, fresh, slightly earthy and I agree, the best way to describe it is you can't quite put your finger on what you are smelling.The compliments, the 'repeat smells' (people catching a whiff, stopping what they are doing, ask what I am wearing and leaning in for another smell or two) and the "you must be wearing something different" is so common, that's the only way for me to accurately describe how good Irish Tweed is and how well it wears: ON ME.Your body 'chemistry' has as much to do with the fragrance and 'staying power' as the ingredients of it. There is a reason why when shopping for fragrances a good store has coffee beans and they 'air out' a test spray before letting you smell (usually a few minutes). There is also a reason why you should spray (or dab if not a spray) on the back of your hand once you've narrowed the selection to a couple: you want to make sure it works WITH you. Better, spray on the areas you will wear it, never rub it in, and walk around 30-mins before dropping a few hundred.If you buy this or any other fragrance online that you've never tried on yourself, even if ordered directly from Creed, you are rolling the dice and hoping it works with you. I've never considered buying an unknown fragrance online even if I think it smells great on someone else. I guaranteed it'll smell different on me unless we are talking about the very common, overpowering $50 bottles that are designed to smell the same on everyone - opposite of what fine, traditional parfums want.The way I describe the complexity, freshness and uniqueness of Irish Tweed goes for all Creeds I have tried. Not all of them work with me nor will all of them work for you. So unless you are a past Irish Tweed user and know it works with you, you may not want to role the dice w/out first trying it somewhere.Online, some of the Irish Tweeds (and other Creed products) I see are labeled as EdT (Eau de Toilet) - no way and steer clear of those. It only comes in Millésime: the term they and other higher end fragrances have chosen for the higher concentration EdP (Eau de Parfum). If you end up with an EdT of Irish Tweed, you might just have a bottle of Cool Water since Creed doesn't make it. Creed only offers a few EdTs. Irish Tweed is not one of them.Note: don't let the concentration ranking name of Eau de Parfum throw you off - has nothing to do with whether it was made for men or women.Why such cheap prices? Could be counterfeits, which are common, but I don't think you'll see this tolerated by Amazon. This is like many other higher end luxury merchandise. Most likely you are buying stock that authorized dealers/distributors have rotated out. It is particularly problematic for something like Creed that is delicate and deteriorates with age. So, like buying a discounted Panerai or Cartier watch with no warranty, the trade-off here is age. When you see [...] selling Creed, I'm fairly certain they aren't an authorized seller nor did they receive their stock from Creed. For all you know, it is 5-years old and has been kept in a 110F warehouse in Arizona (randomly chosen state - no reflection on any seller should any be located there).If you choose to buy a fragrance you haven't tried before from a non-authorized dealer, I'm not sure I would use this as a forum to give it a bad review.

Please Be Careful From Whom You Buy!!! I Learned My Lesson....
By TF
Real, genuine Green Irish Tweed from Creed is a wonderful fragrance. This one-star rating is NOT for the fragrance. THAT deserves a five-star rating. The one-star rating is denoted as a warning: B-U-Y-E-R B-E-W-A-R-E!In the U.S., Creed only has a few authorized distributors. I learned this THE HARD WAY by not buying from one of them. And can you guess what I got? According to two independent Creed salespeople who have worked with Creed for a number of years, A COUNTERFEIT.Being inexperienced with the world of fragrance, which I have since learned is rife with bootleggers, I naively shopped around for the best deal I could AND GOT TAKEN. Now I know better, which is why I'm passing this on.Here is the official word directly from Creed's website: "In the U.S., Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and their websites, select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, select Nordstrom stores, select Bloomingdale's stores, the CREED boutique at 794 Madison Avenue in New York City (1-877-CREED 44), CREED's official online store, a handful of independent boutiques across America carefully selected by CREED, including Bluemercury, Joe Brand, Cos Bar and Fred Segal, and, in Canada, Holt Renfrew and Ogilvy carry guaranteed, authentic CREED products and stand by them proudly. You can be confident when shopping these retailers."Now, take a good look at that list and notice how they themselves say, "You can be CONFIDENT when shopping these retailers." By saying that, do you think they're making reference to all the "other" people who sell Creed who aren't on that list? They're dropping more than a clue. They have a lot more to say about this on the Creed Boutique website.Okay, so I got on the phone, called the Creed Boutique, and asked the Creed representative a few questions since the Creed that I purchased WASN'T from an authorized retailer: If Creed doesn't distribute product directly to unauthorized retailers, where are their bottles coming from? Their answer: THEY DON'T KNOW.They don't know? Hold it. NOT the answer you want to hear after you've just purchased an expensive but curiously discounted bottle from one of the unauthorized sources. (They also told me that Creed doesn't go on sale, hence the need, I think, to be suspicious when you spot those discounted prices. Not the only red flag, but certainly one of them.)I then theorized that maybe these other places selling "genuine, 100% authentic, satisfaction guaranteed" Creed are buying stock that got old from an authorized source. Ah, nope. The Creed rep told me their colognes actually get BETTER with age, they don't have a shelf life, so to speak, so that wouldn't be an issue. There would be no need to get rid of older stock and replace it with new.Bottom line is this: Although I didn't know this when I purchased what was advertised as a genuine Creed, I thought I was being a savvy shopper by not paying full price and getting it from an unauthorized source, but in the end all that happened was that I got ripped off.That being said, some people are fine with buying cologne they know is not real when the price is right, but what would happen if you got sick or had a bad reaction to what you put on? Counterfeiters don't abide by any governmental agencies which regulate what they are allowed to put into their products. Who would you hold accountable? I read an article that said the ingredients that have been found in counterfeits are downright dangerous and at the very least disgusting, for instance, car antifreeze, cat urine. (I've also read that some of the money from these false goods goes to fund terrorist organizations and other organized crime.) We must be wise about this. We must remember that we're going to be wearing this stuff on our skin for hours and skin is very porous.Although one reviewer is actually recommending that you purchase a counterfeit because it's inexpensive (????), personally I have a real issue with being sold a fake and told it's the real thing. Listen, what kind of people are we dealing with? None of these merchants are being honest and telling you their products are fake right up front, are they? No, you have to buy it first, then find out on your own. Meanwhile, they take your money and feign ignorance. Or, worse yet, when confronted, swear up and down that what they sold you is real, then get furiously angry at you to the point of treats that you even suggested they sold you a fake. Their contrived, flick-of-the-switch anger gives them away.Honest merchants don't need to resort to crazy, burst-of-emotion diversionary tactics. If you're not satisfied with their product, they simply apologize and offer you a full refund -- simple as that -- they don't, in their broken English, threaten to murder your whole family or pretend they can cast a spell on you by saying, "Something bad is going to happen to you in the street." (I'm not making this up.)Call me crazy, but I think there are some people out there who may feel as I do. I personally don't care to give my valuable money in exchange for something worthless. That's deceptive, it's dishonest, and it's stealing. If you're going to sell a knockoff, don't try to deceive people with it; call it something different, put it in a different bottle, and call it your own. Oh, then tell them what you put in it and that, since you're a dishonest merchant, you don't have to obey anyone's laws. Go ahead, put THAT on your skin! Hey, you win because at least it was cheap!Another reviewer doubted whether Amazon would tolerate someone affiliated with their site selling fakes. While casting no aspersions on Amazon, to that I say: Please read the above authorized retailer list from Creed's own website, check who you're buying it from, then ask yourself if they're actually on that list. If they're not, chances are EXTREMELY high that you got a fake. Yes, more likely than not what you got is a fake.Don't know the difference between a fake and the real thing? I didn't either. Take your bottle to an authorized Creed retailer and compare it to the real one like I did. Some fakes smell somewhat close to the untrained and, as mine was, ignorant nose, but someone who works with it every day, like a Creed representative, will be able to tell the difference.I'm not telling anyone what to do, but I learned the hard way. Don't waste your hard-earned money by just giving it to dishonest merchants. Please pay a little more and get the real thing.Now something for everyone selling all those fake Creeds on eBay and even here on Amazon: ENOUGH WITH ALL THE CHEATING!!!

By Jeffrey Talbot
Please do not buy this cologne for a discounted price because you will receive a bottle of discounted waste. I am not sure where Green Irish Tweed is made but I am sure it's not made in an Arab country. My bottle has a sticker on the bottom written in Arabic. My bottle also leaks from the spray stem. The cologne smells great for about a minute and then looses all scent. I sprayed about 10 pumps on myself and came into work. I asked co-workers if they liked my new cologne and the response was, "your wearing cologne?". I own about 30 different colognes and some ladies at work seem to enjoy asking what I am wearing on any particular day. Since I have been wearing this knock-off of GIT I havent heard one peep from the ladies in the office.PLEASE beware of the knock-offs!!!!!!! If your going to spend this much for a cologne go into a department store and purchase it there.
