Irrespective of Fragrantica reviewers' inability to describe the fragrance notes accurately, one cannot deny the constituents defining a Fougere are there in GIT per Creed:


"Green Irish Tweed is awash with atmospheric green notes enlivened with a sea breeze and the refreshing zing of invigorating peppermint, leafy verbena and lemon. A classic trio of geranium, violet leaf and aromatic lavender fill a robust, grassy heart over a long-lasting base of distinctive woods, oakmoss and Creed’s signature note of ambergris. Florentine iris is that final magical dusting of aesthetic ambience tying the notes together with an enduring blend of nostalgia and modernity. Green Irish Tweed is fresh twist on a classic, a definitive scent for those who choose to wear something tailor made to perfection."

But had hoped the hard feelings raised over this thread had abated...too bad that.  Stick with claiming GIT a modern evolution of fougere and that such scent evolutions are part of the industry since its inception remaining part of their constituent families, not comprising unique families.

Perhaps we can all agree GIT is fou, but it lacks a little gère.

Or might we call it a fauxgère?

I can agree with the bulk of this.

Disagree utterly RE GIT but well played - Charles and other royals: my perspective almost certainly far more critical and prescription harsher than yours.

Few frags have any staying power these days; those that do deserve accolades for it and forebearance in application would be an alternative perspective.

Hate being the recipient but will admit your snark to date clever, ad rem and humourous.
