Other Fragrances Discussed During This Episode:
Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir
YSL Kouros - Розваги
Fun fact: Since 1996 as part of Ireland`s citizenship test, candidates must do a blindfolded comparison-test between the irish countryside and GIT.

I put this on today and it's started snowing! 🐏🦆
Matters not the weather... GIT is a frag com holiday thanks to you Rich 😂🐏🦆
Move over, Punxsutawney Phil. If this Duck wears GIT on 3/1 and it snows, it's six more weeks, again! 🙈 😂

Oh Ram. You're analogy of how YSL crashed had me in stitches 😂 👏👏great review I do love GIT
Man honestly have you ever seen a house crash and burn like YSL? Fuk 😒
GIT was my signature for 2 years. For me this is the Crown of Creed...not Aventus. Such a beautifully constructed fragrance
Pierre Bourdon is a master 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam i would've loved to see more of his work, but he retired? i m not quite sure
@JigSawGaming Yes Pierre Bourdon has retired. He has left behind some notable apprentices in the industry though. Such as Jean-Christoph Herault, the true perfumer of Aventus.
Wearing GIT while watching the review! Happy GIT day☘💚
Happy GIT day... a federal fragrance holiday 😁
Nice job. I began wearing GIT in the mid 90s. I got it from N-M and if I recall, it was about $275. It was and remains timeless. It’s about the time of year when I begin thinking about the dna, and GIT started it all! Thanks for adding to my info bank.
Thanks for sharing your journey with this amazing fragrance 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching & commenting 🙂
Followup to my last comment. I have an F batch and recently got a chance to acquire a 2016 120ml pre-Blackrock bottle of GIT at a decent price and had to jump on it. Tested it today compared to the newer bottle and expected a bit of a difference AND... They are effectively the same. Same opening. Same middle and drydown. Same longevity and strength. There are ever so slight differences that could be tricks of the mind, or that the older atomizer pushes a bit more juice, or maybe the newer one is fresher. I thought the opening of the 2016 might be a tad stronger (atomizer pushing more juice), after about a half hour the older one was maybe a bit more earthy and green, but barely. The sparkly aspect went a bit longer on the newer batch. But all of this is smelling skin and looking for minutia. In the air, the same. The newer batches, at least F000 is every bit as good. At least I got to double my Green Irish Tweed supply.
Great info thanks for sharing ... 👍🏻
Good on you two 🐏🦆 for giving this one it's deserved, and apropos, day on the calendar. Like very many, GIT opened the fragrance rabbit hole beyond the glass countertops for me. I'll don him this evening (SOTD - Meidum by Nilafar du Nil ) 🙏✌
We indeed a gateway drug into the fragcomm rabbit hole...just like spring is the gateway to nicer weather 🍀🐏
I love the use of the word "arborial." 🍋🌿 I totally get that from cis-3-hexen-1-ol. Was my second fav from the brand for a long while before being deposed by Royal Oud. But the old juice still in my top 3. Certainly paved the way for 'a new era of freshness.' 😆 A springtime icon.
Indeed Doni... well said as usual my friend 🤜🤛🏻
I have an F batch and I love it. My favorite fragrance by a long shot. And I think of it as a purple fragrance as well with the forward iris/violet/lavender notes. Just exquisite. I don't get any mint at all. Must be a supporting note, maybe to give it an airy quality.
I don't get much mint either
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Great vid as always Rams. GIT is a classic, even the new formulations are not bad compared to the rest of the current Creed line up. If you haven't, try Rain from Royal Crown, it's a very heavy dense take on the DNA and I probably prefer it over GIT in colder weather.
I have heard a few people mention Rain... honestly I have never smelled anything from the house of Royal Crown 👑
Well done . GIT’s one of all time favorites.
Absolutely... thanks for watching & commenting ☘️
G'day mate.
Thanks for the review.
It's one of Pierre's wonderful creations. It's not my cup of tea, but I do appriciate it.
It might just grow on you as you get older
Thanks for watching & commenting 🙂
@@RamseytheRamAgreed. Some perfumes did grew on me. I'll keep an open mind.
When GIT came out, back in the days, my fresh perfume was Paco's PRPH... stuck to it (and then added Dior's ES to the collection).
The best fragrance on the planet besides Areej and ensar options. Tonkin no 2 is my new fav, god forgive the wallet, got several bottles of GIT, GIT is all season wear. 4-5 sprays, 7 if you want the mall to smell it, love it that much. Love your vids Ramsey, first time comment. Love ensars and Areej lately, ensar Tonkin no 2 is my newf fav. Surpasses Royal rod. Royal oud and oud Zhen from Areej is the best oud mix with cedar and spice, god bless everyone
I would love to smell that Tonkin no 2 one day
So many Ensars I still haven't smelled
Thanks for commenting for the first time 🙏
This fragrance means a lot to me because it was my Papaws signature scent. I had no idea we were giving it an international day of admiration. Shame on me for not having anymore right now. I bought a partial of Ombré nomade and it came in the mail this morning. The sad thing is when I opened it, the packaging smelled great, because it all leaked out. I didn’t even get to wear it. But I rubbed it on the sleeve of my leather jacket and at least got to sniff on my sleeve all day. I just can’t seem to win lately. But at least now I know moving forward what I’ll be wearing every March 1st. And honestly I could wear Green Irish Tweed all the time. You always amaze me Sir. It’s been a TOUGH week and you’ve literally helped me escape. Thanks as always for your narration and attention to detail and knowledge you bless us with.
Man your comments lately have been touching... I bought a bottle of Bortnikoff Sir Winston ... one of the original bottles with the bottle individually numbered and it broke in transit and leaked EVERYWHERE... my whole room smelled of Sir Winston for months 😂
@@RamseytheRam I’m sorry. I won’t comment about anything personal anymore. Life’s just been Life lately. And with my aunt passing and her loving my Polo every time I would go see her and me stealing a few dabs when I was a kid which ended up being G.I.T. from my Paoaw, your videos have just been apparently placed before me for a reason and I have just wanted you to know that I’m sure that they are helping others in other ways but yours have always helped me. Used to just listen for hours driving down the road doing my job. And a few of them have came in content in a time of need. I won’t say no more but you’re a great teller of stories and have a way of transporting us people whose love of fragrances is deeper then most. Thanks again for what you do. I know I’m not the only one. Just the timing of a few of these seems for a reason.
Man feel free to share away Corey ... I didn't mean it in a bad way I meant touching in a good way
To have that kind of connection with someone over fragrance videos is something amazing ... thanks for being here with us & being open enough to share
I'm from California and it doesn't rain here much but it rained today here and it rained where Rich Mich is. You got lucky. I'm still wearing GIT today though.
I am a lucky Ram 🍀🐏
I managed to score a 120ml 2014 bottle, I don’t know about you but about 45minutes in I get a slight leather note similar to OG Fahrenheit I think it may have something to do with the violet? I’m loving it. Great review bro.
Probably the violet leaf 🍃
Giving you an association smell...it's very interesting how we all perceive fragrances different...but there is something around that 45 min mark that smells ever so slightly dirty... the hard-core Creed heads would say that's the real Ambergris 🤷🏻♂️
But for me, in a fragrance that smells so clean that shadow of dirt is genius 🧠
The peppermint accord you're referring to is new to the note pyramid. Creed updated their note breakdowns on the official website several months ago. Prior to that, all the formulas appeared to be different. I wonder if the F batches brought in modified formulas. Great review as always!
Oh wow interesting... I saw a video from AC that he posted a few years ago where he mentioned the peppermint note being new... so i think it's something within the last 2 or 3 years 🤔
I just got my first full bottle of Creed today for my birthday. Green Irish Tweed of course.
Congrats! Good stuff 🍀
1st of March, my birthday. Green Irish Tweed, one of my favourite fragrances. Greetings from Southern Africa.
Greetings and happy belated birthday 🎂
Green Irish Tweed is my April 1st and St. Patrick's Day SOTD. Ill wear it tomorrow too. My first sniff of GIT? I didn't like it. But it grew VERY fast on me and VERY far for me. Currently my #10 fave overall. Over 300 bottles.
I could totally see that for what I know of your taste JT
Echo of the day !

Let's go March lovers...
I really love GIT
it's my spring time hit,
I love Royal Oud
both of them so good.
Happy 1st March and the first weekend in the dawn of this year.

"I prefer the older box" 😂 Giggity!
Double giggity 😂
It's the time of the year when people talk about spring and I watch out from my window and it's still two feet of snow out there and think; "must be nice.." At least the icefishing is starting to kick in again due to the extended daylight.
Too bad Creed is one house I propably never can get my nose into because the silly prices of older bottles and my unwillingness to pay anyhing for the modern ones, but it's always a pleasure to hear a proper review and get to experience them like this instead.
SOTD: Musk Khabib
Thank you Rafael... hopefully you get some spring weather soon mate 🌱
We stand united Ram. I’d like a international Bel Ami day too.
That's a great idea 💡
@@RamseytheRam I mean, the name of the fragrance means beautiful friends…
@@tripler7490 exactly 🫂
GIT was my first “niche” perfume back in 2002… it blew my mind at that time and sent me on a creed sniffing spree. I then ended up purchasing Erolfa (which was much darker and briny in its opening and had more depth to it), himalaya, smw and acier aluminium - which didn’t smell like anything from 2000s or popular at that time, but I ended up loving it the most - I would just hose myself down with it until I was completely enveloped in its metallic banana note - that will forever be etched in my brain as an NYC night out - great memories… and today, I’m wearing and loving my GIT again, in celebration of the official holiday!
That's awesome I have reviewed Acier Aluminum on the channel as well.. I absolutely love it and so blessed to have half a bottle left
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
@@RamseytheRamunfortunately the AA lost it bite around 2017 when they reformulated its base (and later discontinued it) and, I suspect, removed the oakmoss… I bought a half of a flacon of a 17x batch and the top is glorious, but it has absolutely no bite in the base, which is what makes it great and a fruity chypre. My 2015 is definitely still top notch though. I think it is about the same time aventus lost its mojo too. Interestingly bdp was still good at least into 2018 as it has no oakmoss in the base
Wore it today too 😄
It's gonna be a fragcom tradition for years to come
To the point where people won't remember where it started from in the future 😂😂😂
My first niche and will always have this in my collection. Currently working with an 09 bottle. I tried an 18 bottle and it was definitely lacking depth. Great review as usual sir. 💪
2018 bottle lacking depth?! That is sad to hear
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍀🐏
Hey brother, unrelated question that I think you will be able to answer.
I have a sample of oud Maximus 2020 from Bortnikoff, but I don’t see that on their website for sale, I only see “oud Maximus”.
Are they the same scent?
Not necessarily... he put the year on the scent up until 2020... so for example there was a Oud Maximus 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and from my understanding the reason was the the formula or ingredients changed every year... after 2020 they stopped... so if you buy a new bottle will it be the same? Probably not but it should be close
@@RamseytheRam ahhhh okay, gotcha.
So it essentially is the same scent? The ingredients just might be slightly different?
I got a little original decant from git with just a few drops left in it. I absolutely loved it and i ordered a 10ml decant of the newest formula. I was pretty disappointed. The natural freshness and sharpness of the original decant was replaced by a really generic designer type of freshness. It seems that i have to watch out for a older version of the scent.
Unfortunately that is the reality now a days... sad but true
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
i think because i grew up smelling cool water everywhere, i just cant go nuts about GIT. i have it, i wear it, and it gets compliments most times i wear it. Ive (like 90%+ of people) probably never smelled a real vintage pre-oakmoss ban bottle, so i imagine this must have been quite a step up from cool water back when there were more naturals and possibly even real ambergris in this. my juice has to be pretty close to the age of yours but im sure a little newer, and i just kinda shrug at it nowadays. in the end though, nobody can deny that in 1985 absolutely nothing smelled like this, he didnt just tweak an existing format that itself came from many tweaks over time...he made something TRULY new.
P.S. my mother is from Belfast and ive been lucky to visit Ireland numerous times...can confirm on the weather 😆
The weather sux in Ireland 🇮🇪
I totally understand what you are saying by not getting excited over the DNA in 2024
But I think it's an amazing accomplishment & an important step to what made cool water and the 90s aquatic wave 🌊
@RamseytheRam ill give them this too...i put 2 sprays on when i watched the review about 4 hours ago....absolutely still getting strong whiffs of it when i move my hand.
March 1st let’s go ,What snow?? WTF I hate Irish weather goddam sucks, but GIT takes the sting out of it (almost) Still sucks.😡. Cheers man Happy GIT Day 🙏✌️👍
Just making you grateful for that beautiful spring weather when it comes lol
@@RamseytheRam Rams this is Ireland it’s a goddam lottery every year lol, if ya get a decent spring then kiss goodbye to a summer and oddly it doesn’t work in reverse , it just sucks ,for 62 years it sucked and it will continue to suck hahaha I shoulda been a Texan goddam it 😝
@@brenlynch4811 haha there is still time 🇨🇱
Bring the Rammerthons back please? We promise not to bring up Montale Oud again Rammer 😂😂
😂😂😂
Montale oud gives me the shivers
Unpopular opinion. I have never like GIT. I tried and tried, for years. There is just something in it that I can’t get passed.
Same here. Im not a fan of the grass smell.
I could totally see that... you obviously aren't alone lol
I own and love Green Irish Tweed, but what specifically about the Irish countyside does the smell of it evoke? I’ve been to Ireland - I’ve family there - and the Irish countryside isn’t exactly uniquely GIT smelling (at least, not to my nose). Seems to me that alot of people who say it smells like the Irish countryside, perpetuate the claim without necessarily having smelt the Irish countryside up close. The same goes for Italian-style fragrances, which we’re told smell exactly like Italy by people who, in some cases, have never visited Italy. Unless you’ve been to these places, keep a lid on it, people 😂😂
I have never been to Irish country side but it reminds me of what I imagine the Irish countryside would smell like
I'm going to buy up a bunch of Empty GIT bottles and refill it with Cool Water and make a bank...I can't tell the difference between the two perfumes. I remeber once I wore a sample I got from Creed and the girl at the bar and asked me if I am wearing cool water because her dad wore it all the time and she remembers the scent
😂😂😂
Don't do that I assure you there is a difference, although it is true that you could almost consider Cool Water a flanker of GIT, and Cool Water came out a few years later, I once heard someone refer to Cool Water as a "finished" GIT. BUT It is also true Creed used higher quality ingredients than what Davidoff used in Cool water, so the sandalwood & Iris is of higher quality if you do a true side by side comparison you will smell the differences
@@RamseytheRam I was joking 😀 but I know lots of people say GIT does reminds them of cool water
When I kept hearing from other people/videos this was a good office scent I got a sample. I like the fresh cut grass smell, but I don't see how this scent is for the office, do you agree? Maybe more of a casual go golfing type vibe to me. If I would have watched this video years ago, I probably would enjoy it more if that makes sense.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts... I think it's a perfect office sent because of how easy it is to wear... but that's just my personal opinion
@@RamseytheRam very easy to wear, I'm a huge fan of green scents. The price points on these Creeds are a joke. I'm with you, I won't buy a Creed, too many great vintages out there for way less.
I wore Mitsouko today, but I really like GIT, in my top 3 Creed frags. Not the biggest Creed fan, they are not my kind of perfumes. GIT and Royal Oud are my favs.
They have their moments lol
Thanks for watching & commenting mate🙂
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
This must have been heavily reformulated as I did not much enjoy more recent versions.
🥲
What's your brother's channel?
I'll join you on the march 1st day once i get a bottle 😂
Ritch Mitch 🦆
old notes says iris is in there, now creed doesnt list iris in there as a note, can anyone confirm?
I would think there is a violet / Iris note in here but if anyone can confirm that would be great 👍🏻
SOTD... Green Irish Tweed! #goirish
An official fragcomm holiday. ... March 1st will be GIT day for millenia... It has been proclaimed 💪🐏🦆
Is Costco selling fakes? I have a bottle (bought this week) that looks way different than the one I bought at Nordstrom. The lot number is on the bottom, the box doesn’t have the raised Creed logos.
No Costco wouldn't be selling fakes
But Creed changed their bottle size and marketing years ago
The new Creed boxes don't have the raised logos anymore
@@RamseytheRam much appreciated. 🍻
YEEEEES LET'S GO! I did 4 sprays of this this morning 🍀actually same batch code 14A01 lol. Don't you miss the old 4oz bottles?
I miss them like a family member has passed away... the loss of the 4oz bottles was just ugh😒
By the way 14A01 brothers in arms 🤜🤛🏻
Dang so close! Mine is 14A04 lol HAPPY GIT DAY
A hell of a year either way as I have had 14M01 & 14A01... this is making me sound like a batch code bro which I am most definitely Not 😆
Shouldn’t it be on March 19th?
Not my rule.. it was started by Rich Mitch 🦆
@@RamseytheRam lol ok. I will personally wait for Spring.
Green Irish tweed is not a fougere, classic or otherwise. Its green. It has lavender. It has SOME coumarin-like facets. But its not a fougere in my book. Not really.
I agree with you... some of those write ups are just horrendous
