Creed Cologne Update/Fake Green Irish Tweed

I didn’t really make it clear that there were two different fake Creeds that I ran across, one of which has a see through bottle and the other does not. The bottle that I bought from Fragrancenet.com IS an authentic bottle. One of the fakes, which was the “Green Frich Tweed”, I was able to return to the sender for a refund.

Great info. I got burned on Ebay too. The fake GIT smelled like hell — like something Axe would have rejected.
i got tricked on ebay 2 when i was buying a millisme imperial for my uncle
I don’t know where in London they would carry Creed. Creed’s website may be able to help you there.
Different strokes for different folks. The tobacco vanilla sounds interesting though.
I’m thinking Cool Water. Whatever it is, it smells good. Even though I’m not really familiar with Cool Water, everyone says that they are both very similar in the opening notes.
Thanks for the compliment and for your commentary.
anywhere in west end LONDON ?? can i get these what shops ?
hey black mambax if you like creed you should also try tom fords private blend the best ones tom ford has are one that is called shmpaka and tabbacco venila those are pretty good also not to dis you but the only ones that i think creed has that are good is viren island and silver back mountin!
Are you from NYC? Cause in “korean town” at 34h street they sell creed cologne for a lot cheaper. around $100 a bottle. I can’t tell by the box itself and i am not able to open it cause it is brand new and wrapped. Is there anyway that i can tell its fake before i do buy it?
thanks so much for the info. I want to the mall the day b4 yesterday and they was selling the creed 4 oz for like 250. but thanks alot. will be ordering some soon
So far, I’ve purchase Tabarome Millesime, Silver Mountain Water, and Bois du Portugal from Fragrancenet. Everyone of them has been real. Also, if I ever encounter a problem with my scents, I have gone and consulted with their customer service.
Fragrancenet cannot afford to sell fakes. If they do, Basenoters and perfume aficionados online won’t purchase from them. And that is a large amount of their customer base.
Great information, Blaq. I personally love Creeds, but have been very reluctant to actually purchase GIT due to the fact it has been counterfeited so many times. But with your review, I can purchase with confidence.
What do you think they put in the Green Irish Tweed fakes? Cool Water, possibly?
Anyway, keep up the good work. I love the jazz in the background, btw.
so the one on fragrancenet is real right
Good info. keep it up.
Hm, they should’ve been able to make you a sample if they didn’t have any. I guess that differs from store to store.
I doubt that there is any authentic Creed that goes for less than that amount….except maybe the 1oz bottles. But two reputable sites online are Fragrancenet and Scentiments…personally I use Fragrancenet. I heard that even Costco, yes Costco, has select Creeds at discounted prices.
I just came from Neiman Marcus today. The Green Irish Tweed smells just like the samples I purchased from Ebay. I really like the Silver Mountain Water though. If possible I wouldn’t want to pay $100 plus for it, which it normally goes for, but I will if I have to. Do you know any places online that sells the real versions for a little cheaper? They didn’t have anymore samples so I would have to purchase them from Ebay. I ended up buying the new Gucci by Gucci.
Instead of purchasing the samples, if there is a Neiman Marcus or Saks near you that carries Creed, they should be able to make you samples if they don’t have any of the official pre-filled samples at no charge.
And did you actually want to pay a ton for Creed?
Thanks for the heads up. I’m literally on ebay right now about to purchase the sample mini vials. Besides going to Neiman Marcus is there any other place I can purchase it online and pay a ton for it?
Maiden Voyage in the background! Nice!
You’re never wrong.
You should never buy a high quality product off the internet. My friend actually bought the irish tweed off ebay and i quickly pointed it out to him that it was a fake. Although the bottle did have a serial number on it the actual smell was different. Actually I think it was the coolwater in a creed bottle. lol
I don’t know anything about the scent stick, but if your bottle has the serial number you may have gotten lucky. Then again, I’ve read that only the 4 oz bottles are more likely to be faked and that you have better luck with the smaller sizes.
Also Tweed is said to resemble Cool Water. I think it smells a little like Aspen myself.
Just bought creed 30ml EDT from ebay, small bottle, not black but transparent. Theres serial number in the back of the bottle. Everything seems in order. But it smells LOT like Lacoste PourHomme ?? Bought stick also, the scent stick inside is like yellowish filled with small greenish dots?
Well it is said to be the best selling Creed fragrance. And if you are familiar with Cool Water, they say that they are similar fragrances.
Fragrancenet and Scentiments are two reputable sites to buy from at a discounted price. Personally I buy from Fragrancenet.
