GIT has been my signature scent since 2002. I tend to just use it for special occasions now, and Tres Nuit for everyday use. I'd say it's %95 similar as far as actual scent, but I'm seriously doubting it has any ambergris at the $30 it costs.
Great video as always Mr Smelly, I got first introduced to this style of scent with Tres Nuit and it's slowly grew on me to the point I like it now a lot now. this video helped out a great deal thank you for posting 👍🍸👑💣💪
Manly scent: Histoires de Parfums Marquis de Sade (1740). I've had girls say they hate it, and then have women pinching my backside. One night I had a woman come up to me saying "when you tire of the little girls come talk to a real women" while she was rubbing me up (not something I typically encounter) Definitely, my wild night scent.
I was about to buy tres nuit, but if you say there's no difference between Tres nuit and stag black. I'll go for the stag it's half the price compared to armaf. Thank you for the great review
I have Alexander Fragrances’ “The Irish Gentlemen” and it captures 90% of the opening and near identical mid - drydown but lasts hours longer than the original from Creed. Wish I would have not purchased the Creed.
Alot of people won't like where I'm taking this. I Love GIT alone and also everything it has done for the fragrance world. We wouldn't have alot of the scents today without it. I love alot of the clones too. But it's a very subtle calming smell. Not exciting to today's standard. The bottle is beautiful and screams high status and class. But if it didn't have the name creed or the price tag.... no one would be talking about it today JS. It's a really good signature, work, casual scent. Pay the big price and just wear it every day and trust me no one will complain and you only need 2 sprays and it lasts all day if people get close enough to you which is the whole point of GIT. Who would want to gas bomb an entire room and choke people out with the essence of the Irish countryside? But all I'm saying is there's nothing wrong with rocking the CLONES. Raghba for man is looking pretty sweet on my dresser and my woman loves it on me.
Man, its Great to Be a Man! That track is Bangin'! Perfect timing on this vid with the Spring upon us. Very rarely is there an equally outstanding replacement for the real thing at a lower cost, but with that being said, has anyone tried the Alexandria or Dua GIT "inspirations"? I'm always rooting for the clone, even if I have the original! I won't have to use it up as fast!
I really don't care about a short lived opening on a dupe vs the original, to me the mid and long lasting dry down is where the tire meets the road sort of speaking!
Hi Dan have you ever put your nose on KITON MEN, Its another great fragrance that's very similar to green Irish tweed, Especially the opening, Also its very similar to Bond No 9 Chez bon. And the dry down is very similar to Creed Aventus , It sells for about £30.00 to £40.00, great performance to, high quality fragrance. very gentlemanly.
Unfortunately for me, I get pretty bad performance with Tres Nuit so I'll definitely have to try one of the others once my bottle is empty. Where are they available in the UK Dan?
Nice informative review, I have GIT and Tres nuit and you got the differences spot on. Good masculine fragrances in my opinion Encre Noir, Eau Sauvage and Fahrenheit.
Love your reviews, Dan Smelly. You're classy, informative and quite entertaining. I turn to Patrick from Fragrances of Ireland as a cheaper, very close alternative to GIT. Available on eBay for around $40 for 100ml. For my most manly scents, I suggest R de Capucci, Lalique Equis, Chanel Antaeus and Egoiste, Dunhill for Men and Icon, Cartier Santos and Pasha, Quorum, Versace Man, Valentino Vendetta, and Bentley For Men Intense and Absolute. At least those I can vouch for from my own collection.
Nick S hi there thanks for your reply, I purchased armaf tres nuit, and mont blanc individuel, last summer and I found them very pleasant to wear and received some complements both fragrances seem to get good reviews
Really good breakdown! I grew up on Cool Water, still have 5-6 in my collection, original plus few "flankers" "summer editions". I smelt Green Irish Tweed via a sample and have Tres Nuit, but something to my nose just doesn't sit right with me, unlike most people. If I bought a bottle, I like the old school feel of the 75 ml bottle you have, even though the matte black finish of the new ones are "classically modern" I would say. I saw the 75 ml bottle on ebay for around $120, which I guess is not too bad for a Creed. The store I got my sample from has the 120 ml for $180.00, so even though I like the old school bottle, if I did buy a bottle, the bigger once seems more "bang for your buck". Excellent review as always sir!
Armaf definitely do the best clones in my opinion and they are normally better then the original. You cannot go wrong with Rasasi there juice is always well blended and good quality
Quick question Mr Smelly. I’d like your opinion on something. Does GIT smell very similar to Polo sport? Or am I the only one who recognized the similarity. Yes, I’m buying older and newer fragrances, happened to pick both up and I think they are very close.
Some years ago I was complimented on the fragrance I was wearing --- by two lady assistants in the perfume shop at Heathrow Airport, London, England! I was wearing L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake. These days I prefer CH Men and Bleu de Chanel. I have no intention of paying US$300 for Creed anything, thanks.
Thank you very much MrSmelly77 for the review. I was just thinking about its clones after I have sniffed it at a department store. To my nose it is fresh and very grassy. BTW, saw your other review and I got the Pinaud Clubman After Shave Lotion, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne and the Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada. All low cost and smell very nice. Have a cocktail please like Mr. Lanier Smith and go slowly.... :}:}:} Just kidding. Thanks !
Your introduction was intriguing if only for the reason that German researchers have just published that lemon verbena is very effective in promoting recovery for bodybuilding /strength athletes! (see Journal of International Society of Sport Nutrition 2018, or see ergo-log website and search for lemon verbena) On a side note why is Dua frowned upon, but so many of the same people are bragging about there clones of Aventus, GIT, etc?
MrSmelly1977, Give Le Labo's Iris 39 a try. I'm sure you'll like it. We have quite similar taste in fragrances. Last week I purchased 1725 and Sartorial based on your recommendation, albeit after sampling, but I absolutely loved them. Also, give Colonia Intensa a sniff if you haven't already. My favourite from Acqua di Parma.
Rive Gauche and Drakkar Noir (I know RG is in your collection, not sure about DN) are definitely some of the most masculine fragrances out there. Great idea for a video!
Never been to Irish countryside, but would imagine it's much like South Ayrshire. Lots of tweed wearing locals there and green countryside, so I will probably buy a copy not original for me.
For me I would say Eucris is the most masculine of all time. Came before Quorum too both similar. Quorum is up there though. Honourable mentions Drakkar Noir, Aramis, Jacomo de Jacomo and Kouros for sure.
Really like the watch your wearing in this video MrSmelly! Which one is that? I'm starting to get into watches but have held back in buying any just yet because i haven't seen one I really liked, buy that one you have on has really really caught my eye! Great comparison review, brother!
If you wanna get some really nice new watches for a good price check out the 5th watches they are really nice for the price the most expensive one I believe is $150 I have 2 and the quality is amazing quality. Everyone tells me they look like 3 or $400 watches. Mvt are nice for the price too if you aren't looking to invest a lot in watches it's defiantly a good place to start your collection.
GreaT masculine frags Eau saVaGe perfium 2012 is unbelievable!! AventuS always Bentley infinite intense is greaT Rasasi LiL faQat amazing Armaf shades oUd is so so so spectacular
Masculine? Dior Leather Oud. Tauer L'air Du Desert Marocain. Claude Montana Graphite. Rapport (Red one). Bentley Intense. Denim. Tabac. Roja Parfums Fetish Pour Homme.
Dear Dan, why don’t you try some Perfume Parlour “clones”, I got many from them, ..got GIT, Tres Nuit, Raghba too.. PP version I think is up to 95/97% of similarity GIT is one of the best clones they do, some are “meh”, many are very good, few others are great. Cheers from Italy Ale
Your green tweed jacket didn't go unnoticed, my man. Great video.
Thanks a lot Chris I’m glad someone noticed that!
GIT has been my signature scent since 2002. I tend to just use it for special occasions now, and Tres Nuit for everyday use. I'd say it's %95 similar as far as actual scent, but I'm seriously doubting it has any ambergris at the $30 it costs.
Thanks for all the suggestions for most masculine scents and please keep them coming!
Do any of them perform better than cool waters?
I tried Creed Green Irish Tweed and I really loved it and if I can get the same effect for a fraction of the price! Well a big thanks!!
I just bought tres Nuit and let me tell u it smells amazing
I have tried the rest and went back to the best G.I.T!
I have Bleecker Street for the day and Green Irish Tweed for the night! Thanks for sharing!
About stag and tres
Stag is nice but really synthetic
Tres is much richer and feels high quality
My 2 (or 50) cents 😉
Big props for the Steven Regal clip. A real man's man.
Great video! Maybe part 2 with Coty Aspen, Davidoff Cool Water and Rasasi Egra for men. I've got Egra and damn the spruce note is so nice...
Great video as always Mr Smelly, I got first introduced to this style of scent with Tres Nuit and it's slowly grew on me to the point I like it now a lot now. this video helped out a great deal thank you for posting 👍🍸👑💣💪
Thanks for the comparison review . . . much appreciated !
Top video, my pick for masculine fragrance is Body kouros
Thanks GMAC. I like that one a lot .

I got GIT and Tres nui. Both are 95% identical but tres nui is a little more sweeter and i really enjoy both. Such a nice classic green fragrance 😉
I really don't care about a short lived opening on a dupe vs the original, to me the mid and long lasting dry down is where the tire meets the road sort of speaking!
Love the old bottle design of GIT a lot 👌🏽 Thanks for the review 👍🏽
Nice comparison. However I'd really like to know what watch were you wearing in this video?
Links to these colognes?
Hmm most masculine.. I just rub a bit of WD40 mixed with a little Barbasol for that “masculine” feel.
Hi Dan have you ever put your nose on KITON MEN, Its another great fragrance that's very similar to green Irish tweed, Especially the opening, Also its very similar to Bond No 9 Chez bon. And the dry down is very similar to Creed Aventus , It sells for about £30.00 to £40.00, great performance to, high quality fragrance. very gentlemanly.
Thanks a lot Michael I will look into that one.
Great video. For your masculine lineup, you can't leave out Polo Green
Thanks Brad. That is a great manly fragrance.
Unfortunately for me, I get pretty bad performance with Tres Nuit so I'll definitely have to try one of the others once my bottle is empty. Where are they available in the UK Dan?
Nice informative review, I have GIT and Tres nuit and you got the differences spot on. Good masculine fragrances in my opinion Encre Noir, Eau Sauvage and Fahrenheit.
Nice video, well explained. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot Greg. Great suggestions. I think Valentino Vendetta is a good one for the great babe alone!
There is another Good cheapy GIT clone out there called.. Aspen by Aspen
We all deserve at least one creed fragrance in our collections, mine was Bois du Portugal, what's yours
Nick S hi there thanks for your reply, I purchased armaf tres nuit, and mont blanc individuel, last summer and I found them very pleasant to wear and received some complements both fragrances seem to get good reviews
Spot on review, I couldn't
agree more!
Kouros by YSL is definitely up there in the masculinity category!
Hard to argue with that. Thanks AJ.
Great video :) my masculine fragrance is Bentley intense.
Which one do you recommend out of the 3 dupe?
Ragbha Man?
Stag?
Tres Nuit?
Really good breakdown! I grew up on Cool Water, still have 5-6 in my collection, original plus few "flankers" "summer editions".

How does L'Aventure Knight compare to these?
Just the video I wanted as I'm looking to purchase a bottle. Well done mate. Up the Arsenal.
Armaf definitely do the best clones in my opinion and they are normally better then the original. You cannot go wrong with Rasasi there juice is always well blended and good quality
What was that football fight at 1:30?
Why are some of the Green Irish Tweed bottles black?
YSL Kouros, Bogart Homme, Ted Lapidus Homme, Boss Number One, Givenchy Gentleman, Montale Dark Aoud and Montale Aoud Saffron
Thanks Carlos great suggestion!
What is your opinion on Le Parfait from Armaf Mr. Smelly?
I haven’t tried it but if I do I will be sure to put it in a video.
My most masculine fragrance ( whatever that means. Scents don't have genitalia !) - Aramis by Aramis. Nice informative video Mr. Smelly.
Quick question Mr Smelly. I’d like your opinion on something. Does GIT smell very similar to Polo sport? Or am I the only one who recognized the similarity. Yes, I’m buying older and newer fragrances, happened to pick both up and I think they are very close.

Dior Fahrenheit(vintage) if possible paco rabanne pour homme couple of ideas
Rasasi Egra, hands down the best! Good video anyway :)
When are you doing any sort of Workshop in London so we can all learn more about perfumes and aroma types?
Thank you very much MrSmelly77 for the review. I was just thinking about its clones after I have sniffed it at a department store. To my nose it is fresh and very grassy. BTW, saw your other review and I got the Pinaud Clubman After Shave Lotion, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne and the Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada. All low cost and smell very nice. Have a cocktail please like Mr. Lanier Smith and go slowly.... :}:}:} Just kidding. Thanks !
Thanks a lot. I’m really glad you liked the ones you bought. Makes it all worthwhile.
can someone please give me a list of the ingredients of them?
Great review, I haven't tried those others yet.
Polo Green, Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Black Extreme, Boss No. 1, Dior Fahrenheit - nice masculine fragrances
Your introduction was intriguing if only for the reason that German researchers have just published that lemon verbena is very effective in promoting recovery for bodybuilding /strength athletes!

Masculine fragrance: Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene
just bought a new one, an all time fav
Thanks good call!
MrSmelly1977, Give Le Labo's Iris 39 a try. I'm sure you'll like it. We have quite similar taste in fragrances.

My favourite from Acqua di Parma.
Utsav Gupta very true!!
MrSmelly repeat the test,but instead of those 3 clones,use Rasasi Egra for men and you will have a big surprise.Do an update video in the future
Thanks Egra sounds of interest .
Have you tried al haramain knight?
I’m hoping to try it very soon.
lol at the beginning, put Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme in there, and a good suit imo- yup
Thanks very much Miles! Van Cleese PH is a good suggestion.
Rive Gauche and Drakkar Noir (I know RG is in your collection, not sure about DN) are definitely some of the most masculine fragrances out there. Great idea for a video!
Thanks Brian . Yes I have Drakkar Noir. Definitely a contender.
Dan, please make some merch with your quirky touch! I would love to see what you would come up with.
Never been to Irish countryside, but would imagine it's much like South Ayrshire. Lots of tweed wearing locals there and green countryside, so I will probably buy a copy not original for me.
For me I would say Eucris is the most masculine of all time. Came before Quorum too both similar. Quorum is up there though. Honourable mentions Drakkar Noir, Aramis, Jacomo de Jacomo and Kouros for sure.
Thanks Aramis is a good contender.
Im perfect! i like green Irish tweed!
someone suck me😢
And how's Armaf Le Parfait compared to these?
Nah same question I wanna ask too...
Because some people said,, Le Parfait was combination of GIT and also Aventus..
Have you sniffed the L'aventure Knight...that one is a step closer. Cuba only review so far and looks like the frag is sold out everywhere.
Really like the watch your wearing in this video MrSmelly! Which one is that? I'm starting to get into watches but have held back in buying any just yet because i haven't seen one I really liked, buy that one you have on has really really caught my eye!
Great comparison review, brother!
Ps..I never knew about the Dehydro Mersinol thank you for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and experience! #TheMoreYouKnow
If you wanna get some really nice new watches for a good price check out the 5th watches they are really nice for the price the most expensive one I believe is $150 I have 2 and the quality is amazing quality. Everyone tells me they look like 3 or $400 watches. Mvt are nice for the price too if you aren't looking to invest a lot in watches it's defiantly a good place to start your collection.
jake smith hey bro! Thank you. I'll DEFINITELY check them out! Thanks for the awesome suggestions, my friend!👍
It’s a Tevise - a very cheap Rolex homage - I swapped the two tone bracelet for a lizard leather strap and it’s good enough for me.
We want more videos about watches!
GreaT masculine frags
Eau saVaGe perfium 2012 is unbelievable!!
AventuS always
Bentley infinite intense is greaT
Rasasi LiL faQat amazing
Armaf shades oUd is so so so spectacular
Like your videos and commentary.
I really like Tres Nuit. I haven’t tried the other two clones. You’re right, as nice as they are they still are not as good as Green Irish Tweed.
aside from the great review, you really have a very good taste in clothing .. the suit ,the tie and the watch ..very elegant
Wait untill he gets up and just wearing short 😁
Hi. Thanks
So which one is better? Stag or raghba? Thank you for your answering 🌹
Great video. Nice looking watch
I was half expecting a GIT song to the tune of Michael Jackson's PYT.
Really loved the presentation of information on GIT. The comparison could have been more detailed. Overall a great video on a timeless classic.
Thanks a lot Heemel.
Coeur de noir Beaufort London or original kouros. Both v masculine.
Aspen is a great GIT clone
Guess seductive is one of my favorite masculine scents
You seem like a rich and powerful man. I was just wondering what's your profession?
Roja Dove Reckless is my go to macho frag!
ysl pour homme,jules,polo green,azarro.
Nice accent . I love it!!!
Rasasi egra is also a great clone
Looking sharp here Dan
Masculine?
Dior Leather Oud.
Tauer L'air Du Desert Marocain.
Claude Montana Graphite.
Rapport (Red one).
Bentley Intense.
Denim.
Tabac.
Roja Parfums Fetish Pour Homme.
*Robot Voice* : 🎶His name is Mr. Smewwy🎶
The best GIT clone, to my nose, is Egra by Rasasi. Far better quality than Armaf/Estiara stuff. Just my 0.02
Thanks I’m tempted to buy that one!
You’re too much of a professional on the fragrance world, congrats!
Dear Dan, why don’t you try some Perfume Parlour “clones”, I got many from them, ..got GIT, Tres Nuit, Raghba too.. PP version I think is up to 95/97% of similarity
GIT is one of the best clones they do, some are “meh”, many are very good, few others are great.
Cheers from Italy
Ale
Dam near the sameeeee
Chanel platinum egoiste
Hermes terre de Hermes or Bel ami vetiver
Quorum
Strong contender for sure. Maybe I will have to buy that one for the video.
Soccer players fight like kangaroos. Fighting with their feet. Makes sense 🤣
Tom Ford Noir
Pierre Cardin = super masculine
Carolina Herrera Herrera for Men ;)
Eau Sauvage Parfum needs to be included in your masculine list
Thanks Sillage . That’s definitely going in he list .
First? First.
The new matte black 100ml bottle looks ugly. They should kept it as a clear bottle.
Mr smelly !!!!!!!!
