If I love Creed GIT, I'll like...?

[Mervin]

Creed GIT is about as close as I'll ever get to a signature scent. So I'm looking for similar fragrances to explore (not Cool Water or dupes).

So...if I love Creed GIT...what will I like?

 

[hednic]

Impossible to know whether or not you will like it, but perhaps Nu Green

 

[Brooks Otterlake]

Rogue Fougere L'Aube is one to check out.

 

[slpfrsly]

Try Carven Pour Homme.

 

[pouring]

I always associate GIT as a shower gel sort of scent. Fresh and clean.

I get the same vibe from my latest scent purchase - Percival by PDM. It’s got that shower scent vibe (notwithstanding it’s a blue scent rather than a green scent).

 

[Pippin06]

Perhaps Guerlain Vetiver edt

 

[Dandydude]

Garrigue

 

[Renato]

Kiton Men, Curve and maybe Aspen.
Over the years, many here have commented that they share similar aspects to GIT.
The big difference is that some women actually like the first two.
Regards,
Renato

Rogue Perfumery Fougere L'Aube

 

[Diddy]

But if you’re looking for a dupe, Rasasi Egra or one of the other usual suspects.

 

[woodnotes55]

Try Floris JF.....

 

[Ifti]

Try Carven Pour Homme.

And /or Carven L'eau Intense (a little brighter, fresher..)

Davidoff Cool Water?

Rogue Fougere L'Aube is one to check out.

This and Patrick by Fragrances of Ireland

 

[Monsieur Montana]

Cool Warer. Vintage preferably. The modern stuff is not good anymore.

It depends what aspect of Green Irish Tweed you like so much. If you're looking for a similar but cheaper alternative then as others have said Davidoff Cool Water in its vintage form (the italic script, pre 2004 logo) would be the one to look at.

Rumour has it that Pierre Bourdon was the perfumer for both Green Irish Tweed and Cool Water. The difference between them being primarily that the Creed version was amped up with higher quality ingredients and the trademark Ambergris/Ambroxan accord and Cool Water used cheaper more synthetic ingredients intended for a cheaper more mass appeal product.

Another alternative in the same vein would be (as previously suggested) Floris's JF. This is similar to both Green Irish Tweed and Cool Water with Floris's twist on it.

Another slightly left of centre suggestion would be Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel. This doesn't smell like Green Irish Tweed or Cool Water but has many similarities to both of them. For a fascinating insight and analysis of the hows and whys read this -

If you like Green Irish Tweed, you like Creed. The DNA is strong in that fragrance. If you're looking for another fragrance with that DNA, it'll be challenging to find it outside Creed's house.

Stay within Creed and you'll find many that are similar. I might suggest starting with Royal Water. Bright, green and clean top, with a musty ambergris base. Or many others throughout the same house.

I agree with this sentiment. I don’t get along with Creed’s “DNA”, but I do love a good violet note. Try some more Creeds, but also get your nose on some violet-forward fragrances. Some in a vaguely GIT-ish style that I enjoy:

• Burberry Touch
• Gucci PH II
• Carven Homme
• Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel
• Hermes Eau de Narcisse Bleu

It may also be the ambergris you are enjoying, in which case, give Caron Pour un Homme Sport a try.

Finally, a few recommendations from my wardrobe to sample that I haven’t seen mentioned and which may work in similar situations as GIT:

• AdP Colonia Club (if you like mint)
• Brioni Eau de Parfum (a “modernized” Fahrenheit)
• Aramis New West (for a more deft use of dihydromyrcenol)
• Banana Republic Grassland (for a more barbershop take)
• Jacques Bogart Force Majeure (just a hunch)
• Moschino Toy Boy (violet isn’t a listed note, but I get it here mixed with rose and modern ACs)

 

[Ifti]

While I'm here and there's a few mentions of Cool water. How's the CW Parfum hold up?

 

[mixerscent]

I'd recommend other Creed fragrances in the older 75ml bottle. They'll share the same DNA which makes Creed popular.

Silver Mountain Water
Millesime Imperial
Royal Mayfair
Epicea
Virgin Island Water

Never tried it but apparently it has more in common with Dior Sauvage than with the OG CW.

Green Irish Tweed Soap (Creed) & Some Thoughts On Grey Flannel

Vintage Cool Water was very well done. Not like the modern production. I literally can't find any olfactory differences between Cool Water and GIT the first 6-8 hours. To my nose they smell exactly the same. After that the evolution is completely different and the dry down phase of GIT is absolutely gorgeous. The dry down is the only reason i bought GIT for.

 

[_Nicolas_]

All these comparisons of Fougere L'Aube and GIT are making me slightly nervous about buying a backup bottle of the Rogue! I bought Fougere quite a while back and yes it was very green, but it also had quite a prominent costus note, has it been reformulated to be more 'accessible'? Does anyone own both a 2019 bottle and a very recent one? Any significant difference?

 

[mixerscent]

Amouage Al Andalus attar is similar to Creed's GIT and Davidoff Cool Water. It's softer and more rounded, while still staying fresh and vibrant.

 

[dreamchaser]

How about Royal Crown Rain?

This is a really good answer. Not really the same, but it may give you a similar feel.

I'd also second looking at more Creeds. There is some similar DNA. I suggest starting with Millesime Imperial. I think you'll really enjoy the deep dry down.
