Would you guys consider GIT a fougere?

Yes, I think most could say it is a fougere, with woody, floral, and musk tones.

I would say fougere for sure.  It’s a broad category but to me GIT is a classic type fougere scent.  Seems when I started getting interested in scents that fougeres were classified as lavender, oakmoss, coumarin somewhere in the mix.  That doesn’t seem to fit with the industry anymore (or perhaps ever).  To my nose GIT is very much a fougere.

That's because the grand daddy of them all, Fougere Royale by Houbigant (Casino Royale's inspiration) did contain the elements of lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin. I thought that the definition had broadened enough to fit GIT in as a fougere. I just wanted to bounce it off you frag heads.

Haha, I sure bow to you as far as scent goes.  I was more reminding myself of my journey and hope I wasn’t preaching (known to).  What I really should have asked is what project do you have up your sleeve?

Absolutely. In many respects it an evolution for 20th century

I wouldn’t call it a fougère. I like fougères.

Interesting question. I have never thought of it as a Fougère… but I guess it technically could be. I’ll have to go ponder this.

I am Almost never disagreeable but no, GIT is not a Fougere. It is green and bright, but a Fougere must have, Oakmoss, lavendar, Coumarin, and a citrus. GIT a Woody floral per iris, sandalwood with lemon verbena on top. Check out the pyramid from fragantica [Image: ffc9079b31c1681ecbd03fcf32faa5ca.jpg]

Per Creed promo

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.
