The composition
Green Irish Tweed starts crisp and bright, with lemon, verbena and a cool touch of peppermint and galbanum. Violet and lavender give it a soft green middle, and sandalwood, cedar and oakmoss settle it into something clean and quietly woody.
Many fresh fragrances that came later share its outline, but this one is greener and smoother than most of them. It suits spring mornings and long days outdoors equally well.
What wearers say
- Wearers most often describe cut grass, green leaves and a crisp, clean freshness, and many call it a classic that has aged well.
- It is often compared with Cool Water; most who mention both find Green Irish Tweed greener and smoother.
- A vocal minority reads it as soap or a household cleaner, and some find the violet drydown old-fashioned.
- Longevity reports vary widely: many describe moderate wear and projection, while others say it fades after a few hours.
- Mostly worn in spring and summer and by day.
