You should 100% do a version of it in your style. I’d buy that immediately!!

It is interesting to note that both GIT and Cool Water were created by Pierre Bourdon(de facto secret in-house perfumer for Creed from 1980 - 2005) who in my view is the greatest niche perfumer of all time and along with Jacques Polge(Chanel in-house perfumer from 1978 - 2016) are the two greatest perfumers of all time. Obviously Jacques is the greatest designer perfumer but don't ask me who is better between the two in general. Pierre might have been more creative(perhaps because he wasn't constrained by a "Chanel" style of fragrance) but Jacques' creations were exquisitely crafted with quality second to none on a designer budget no less. It seems that Pierre Bourdon put Creed on the map, without him there is no Creed. He may even have had a hand in the creation of Aventus after he left Creed given that one of his proteges is the perfumer of Aventus and that a year earlier Pierre put out a fragrance that smelled quite similar to Aventus. But it doesn't stop there, rumour has it that he in fact had a huge hand in creating Joop Homme. Almeraic is given credit for it but apparently Pierre was working on it but was removed the last minute with Almeraic coming in to finish the remaining 10% of the job. Fast forward to 2003 and Mont Blanc Individuel is released which smells remarkably similar to Joop, two years after that Original Santal by Creed is released which also oddly smells very much like Joop. Turns out Pierre Bourdon was the perfumer for both of those fragrances. Why would he produce two fragrances that smell similar to one another(not unlike what he did with Cool water and GIT once again two years apart), well more than likely because that scent DNA was his invention all the way back in 1989, he felt a certain ownership over it. Pierre Bourdon's notable men's creations: Confirmed: - YSL Kouros - Creed GIT - Cool Water -Creed EROLFA - Creed MI - Creed SMW -Mont Blanc Individuel - Creed OS Most likely: -Joop! Homme -Creed Original Vetiver -Possibly other Creeds between 1980 - 2005 Influenced/possible involvement: -Creed Aventus As for Jacques Polge, well he created everything that Chanel released from 1978 to 2016 except for some reformulations/re-releases he made for Chanel classics that were originally released before his time. That obviously speaks for itself!

as a fellow chemist, I really appreciate that you can dig into the actual molecules used in the formulation. all other faces in the community just stay on the generic descriptions

They were both created by the same perfumer, Pierre Bourdon. He developed GIT for Creed. He left Creed and created Cool Water for Davidoff. I love Cool Water. It's been one of my favorite fragrances for years. It's close enough to GIT without breaking the bank. Thanks for another Great Review!

Cool Water EDT was one of my first colognes in my youth - I always have a 200ml laying around, just to wear casually around the house and run errands. You should do a modern, kickass take on it, Aaron.

Wearing ‘KUNT’ it arrived today and loving it. GIT is in my Top 5 of all time so for ATH to bring out an updated version in his own “wall of fragrance” style is superb news, praying to the fragrance Gods he goes through with it 🎉

I used to steal sprays of my dad's Cool Water, Drakkar Noir, Farenheit, and Eternity when i was like 12 and wear them to school. Those fragrances will also have a soft spot in my heart. PRAYING Maxaroma gets a restock of your fragrances along with the new ones soon.. trying to hold back on purchasing any more fragrances so i can splurge on a dozen of yours 🦄

I got a big bottle of Cool Water for $20 at Marshall's (a discount retailer in the U.S.) and it's been a good "dumb reach" fragrance for the summer. I was fortunate enough to sample Green Irish Tweed at Bloomingdales, and found the fragrances to have a very similar DNA. But, I don't think I like either fragrance enough to pay "Creed" price. But at $20? All day.

Hi Aaron, If you like GIT by Creed, you MUST MUST MUST try Tres Nuit by Armaf. It smells 95% similar and lasts longer. My only problem with GIT is its longevity which Tres nuit solves for me

I love GIT. I’ve never smelled Cool Water, but when I let my girlfriend smell GIT she said it smelled like something in a blue bottle her dad used to use and I was like 😳. I mentioned cool water and she said yes. That hurt. Also I have metal cap GIT and at first I didn’t feel like I noticed it for too long but now I get a solid 5 or 6 hours out of it. Performance isn’t that bad.

Aaron yes please do your own twist with that added ATH superb performance. Thats what all fragrances are missing now days

Aaron the world needs your take on green Irish tweed!

Green Irish Tweed, is and will always be one of my favorites.

Cool Water makes me think of my late dad, and for that I will always have a bottle, but for my personal taste it's too synthetic. Is Green Irish Tweed worth the money? No, I don't think it is. If all you care about is the end result of the fragrance, Cool Water will get you something very similar for 1/10th the price. Do I regret buying Green Irish Tweed? Not at all. It smells too good to regret. Great video, Aaron. Keep em coming.

2 of my favourite fragrances, along with the incredible unique and discontinued CK crave. Git is just a complete timeless masterpiece, i just wish it lasted longer. And definitely Aaron if you did a git inspired creation i and many others would buy it 👍

your intro sound effect is very pleasing to the ear

Man, I would looooove for you to do an updated version of this DNA with your methods. Seriously, I would blind-buy immediately.

I've had both for years and only use GIT when I'm dressing up. Cool water is a decent enough copy but there's a world of difference between the two to my nose. OK for casual/office use etc though.

There's a reason they're so similar; they're both originally by Pierre Bourdon. Bourdon was wanting to make a dihydromyrcenol based fragrance after figuring out that it was at the heart of Drakkar Noir, and Olivier Creed conned Bourdon out of the formula halfway through development. Bourdon kept refining the formula until we wound up with Cool Water. 😁

You’re working so hard brother, I hope you’re getting the rest you deserve.

Green Irish Tweed is one of my personal favorites, I tried it on a vacation this past summer and it always reminds me of that. Great and inoffensive, timeless, lasts but not too too long to the point where you’ll smell it on your clothes for a week. I think worth the cost but only if you’d wear it as a signature scent everyday

Aaron, I'd love to see a video on your "best bang for your buck" fragrances.

Great review Aaron! Your take on cool water would be brilliant! Like you said an updated and amped up Version would be amazing! Cool water was my signature for years back in the day, loved it from the moment I smelled it back in 1995

Man, with your nose, reviewing the difference between vintage batches and modern batches is so interesting! Loved your take on these great frags!

Looking forward to your newer fragrances coming to the states!

Fun fact, GIT was King Charles signature scent around the time it was released in the 80s. I don’t know if that is still the case

Green Irish Tweed is my favorite fragrance of all time. I've always loved how smooth and clean it smells. On my skin it does pretty well and if I over spray I get some pretty decent longevity out of it. The price is a bit steep but I will usually only wear it a few days a week. I like Cool Water. But to me it feels a bit synthetic and stale compared to G.I.T. They are similar for sure but IMO, if you have experience with fragrances in general? You can tell the differences right away. That being said, I will wear Cool Water for a work fragrance from time to time. Cool Water is a great fragrance for the money, but Green Irish Tweed is just simply a great fragrance.

You have to compare the Vintage Cool Water with the cursive Davidoff and Cool Water in cursive. Smells much nicer than the current Cool Water and better than GIT. The Vintage CW gets me compliments about 75 percent of the time unsolicited too.

You definitely should do your interpretation of GIT but the only draw back might be the price..GIT is my goat but I can only afford decants..

Its exactly like what ATH said, in the air they smell similar. Sniffing it on skin is where you can sense the naturals in GIT,its like smelling dews in fresh cut grass. Again same in the air and most people would not be able to tell.

green irish tweed was my first ever perfume, given to me back in 2006 or 2007. its the only one i wore for over a decade. still love it, dont wear it much now as i fell down the fragrance community rabbit hole and when i would wear it i grab bois eternal instead. but once that runs out ill probably go back to GIT unless you release another bois eternal or your own take on a better version of GIT

Could you do a comparison of Original Santal and Mont Blanc Individuel?

I love the content and really appreciate that you take the time to make it considering I am sure you have a very busy schedule

i have yet to be able to try one of your fragrances ( cause they are always sold out) but i love the reviews and content on this channel and frag-mental's you guys are blessing me with new videos today!

As someone who remembers the Cool Water craze of the early-mid 1990's and has smelled the current version, I will say the current version smells very synthetic and metallic compared to what a brand new bottle of the original smelled like then.

Thanks for a very well presented and deeply knowledgeable comparison(love all the chemical references). I was curious to try the fragrances as they were created by the same man(Pierre Bourdon). Its a shame that Creed sold out to a soulless asset group(BlackRock)...However, thankfully they are now back with a luxury group in Kering who hopefully will reinvest in natural ingredients and a quality product above pure profit. Im Irish and born in 1985, so I feel Green Irish Tweed is calling me. Sláinte

Aaron please formulate a green Irish tweed in your style.

These types of videos you’ve been doing are amazing.

Ohh really cool comparison for the video, Bourdon is a legend. Would love to hear you review Jean Claude Elena's work for Hermes (Hermessence, Colognes), although those are probably not your style, they usually have lots of naturals and crazy high quality craftsmanship. Cheers

Dear Aaron! Can you please review the new aventus F batches? people say creed reformulated aventus for the better now and i would love to know your take! 🫰🏻

I have both and CW seems to me easier to wear and more pleasant, although I can detect more quality con GIT

Thank you again for another honest, awesome review 😊

Cool water is soapy and shower gelly. Git smells like the outside clean cut grass mixed with the ocean. Completely different. Only a small similarly in the mid for a few minutes

Really interesting video - I have cool water, knowing it's budget but great fragrance (a bit synthetic imo but can't beat the price to add it to a collection). I have a partial bottle of old aventus, but no other Creed frags, albeit I've heard a ton about GIT. Would never have thought they were a similar scent profile!

Hey Aaron! I really hope you are going to review Resala by Arabian oud. (Can’t forget to mention that I love your content🙂) Wish you a good day

My favorite classic mens cologne.. green irish tweed.. yes!

Love the background. It had a vibe

Creed was bought by Kering a French-based multinational corporation specializing in luxury goods. It owns the brands Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent, Creed, Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Puma, yet Puma the sports company. So Creed will (most likely) become just another money making business.

I have both...now seems that everybody have or had GIT...everybody have money to buy it...buy something for to much money and it doesn't perform..crazy or trying to be snobish?..before 10 years it wasn't very well known house...we forget that Cool Water was the most selling perfume..we forget that it was revolutionary and many copy that scent by this day..I would always choose Cool Water(not bog fan,but it is clean,fresh and I had so đany compliments when I wear it

Thank you Aaron.

Amazing video as always Aaron.

The only reviewer that doesn't tell you what to buy✨

The only fair comparison would be with the vintage cool water which is of a much higher quality compared to the what coty is making these days. The vintage is strikingly similar to GIT.

Aaron, you're the best. Thanks!!!

On the dry down there are super close. GIT smells a little more natural. But for the price difference, just do Cool Water.

Love your content. Keep it coming and I need some of your fragrances

I like green irish tweed berry mutch but I can't get over the stale castle smell ancient or aged. if that wasn't the case I'd buy the bottle I'm deff going with aventus original and the absolu

oooh this is a good video- being wearing Green Irish Tweed ALL summer this year, love it Definitely not dated 🔥 Please do a blue version inspired by Irish Tweed

Just ordered a vintage patch Cool water from early eighties! To compare with today's version I'm so excited to proof today's fact that original is always far beyond over todays product! So I bet today's Cool water is not Cool, it's only Water😂

Thank you Aaron ❤🦄

YESS, FINALLY. 2 very scents.

This review is well constructed.

Costco has the Green Irish Tweed 100mL for $189 right now.

Great review hippie!

You should do ferrari pista vs fiat punto next video.

I come for Aaron, the fragrance reviews are just a bonus ❤

Your Fake annihilate’s these two. I absolutely love Green Irish Tweed but it’s falls flat too soon. Fantastic skin scent but I honestly don’t think it’s as good as Fake.

It's usually case with similar fragrances. At the distance you can't really tell the difference...

I have both GIT and Cool water. GIT is great don’t get me wrong burn it only last maybe 3 hours on my skin. Haven’t tried it but would you recommend maybe layering cool water to have more longevity?

Longer hair looks great

There is nothing wrong with creating an inspiration fragrance especially when the goal is to improve upon a classic profile. I mean, is every oriental on the market a dupe of Shalimar? IMO there’s a big difference between a dupe/clone and a fragrance unique in its own right but admittedly takes inspiration from an already established fragrance in the market. Especially if said established fragrance has been out for quite some time.

Green Irish Tweed and Millisime Imperial both smell nice but they give me the worst headache.. something in their blends is way too sharp 🤷🏻‍♂️

Really old vintage Cool Water was more natural and particularly that faint tobacco and sparkling oakmoss drydown Shame the next thing is GIT but some clones do get very close to old CW, sans the IFRA naughty list ingredients.

I like the creed and it's a lot better but when i smell it i just smell expensive cool water so i wouldn't buy creed for that much more.

Floris JF is another similar fragrance. I just wish the longevity was better

I would need to revisit CREED GIT cause I smelled before thought it was cheap sharp and synthetic. Or maybe it was a poor batch?

You should review lattafa khamrah Aaron it's clone/inspired by killians angel share, it's only 20-30 pounds but smells amazing

Awesome video. What did you think of the Cool Water Intense with coconut note? You should do a video on DAVIDOFF Cool Water fragrances. Parfum, Intense, Grapefruit and Sage, Reborn. I’d love to know what you think of the 80’s ZINO DAVIDOFF for men. Be Good, Stay Safe…👍

I love them both !

Cool Water EDT smells identical to Black Ice air freshener. Nothing wrong with it but I can't wear the EDT now because I don't want to smell like a chav.

Maybe you should make an updated GIT!

Green Irish tweed layered with grand soir🤔

Every time I watch Aarons videos where he explains things, my mind tells me I understand but in reality, I don't understand mostly everything lol. Damn you my gullible brain!

Git 9 favourite creed for his

Aspen by Coty is a much better comparison to Creed GIT than Davidoff Cool Water.

GIT the GOAT‼️

Do you think Green Irish Tweed would perform better with your Carbon underneath?

Cool water is still cool 😎 i knew it and Aaron has confirmed it

Hello there. There is an interesting story behind those two frags. But I do, for sure, as well, prefer and enjoy GIT over Cool Water. Great review, by the way. PD. You are getting so close to the 100k subs.

So it's the difference between elvis presley & des o Connor. Very similar but there will only ever be one des o Connor.. xx

Do one one the Prada Luna Rossa

Exaltant le musc from parfum vintage is a close clone to GIT.

Cool waters got me in to fragrances. 🎊 🎉

How do you like Aspen? It should between this 2 fragrances

Aaron - would you consider creating fragranced candles?

I only like Green Irish Tweed. I hate Davidoff cool water but love the woman’s one.

Hey aaron , how would I be able to acquire one of your fragrances in israel ?

You must do your twist on it!!!

I’ve never understood why people complain about the performance of Creed perfumes. I own plenty of Creed products, 100% legitimately obtained from authorized vendors, and I have never had poor performance from any of them except Millésime Impérial and Pure White Cologne. I think a lot of people just complain to pile on and/or have been disappointed by purchasing fake Creed products online from disreputable vendors.

I love your brand and hopefulness for Creed but I'm not holding my breath that a private equity firm will do something to make a newly acquired business less profitable. P.S. Onyx Extreme is my most complimented fragrance. It's brilliant!
