Creed
Green Irish Tweed EDP
“Morning dew on a country estate lawn — aristocratic freshness that never shouts.”
The fragrance Davidoff Cool Water (1988) is widely cited as an inexpensive alternative to — Olivier Creed's 1985 launch. A green-iris-aquatic-aromatic masculine with lemon verbena, iris, and violet leaves at the top, a sandalwood-iris heart, and an ambergris-white musk-cashmere wood base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, lasts 6–8 hours with moderate projection.
