Size Name:4.0 oz
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 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.

In November, I purchased 4 different Creed's on line, from four different vendors. All four were counterfeits, knock/offs, replicas. They stated Original/New in Box and they were new in box and orignial(Replicas), but not the real thing. I have purchased two from a department store, and they did not smell the same, nor the box or bottle were the same. Fortunately, I was able to return them and get a refund. One vendor replied I you want the real thing I can get it for $225. Another replied--what did you expect for that price. Never again will I purchase a cologne or any high end product on line. Be careful
