The Irish Gentleman
by Alexandria Fragrances
The Irish Gentleman is a well-blended, aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of Green Irish Tweed with a slightly more aquatic and powdery character. It opens with bright citrus and lavender-like iris, giving a clean, uplifting sensation that evolves into a soft, green-floral dry down with subtle sandalwood and amber. The scent is light yet expressive, suitable for daytime wear in spring and summer. Longevity is moderate—lasting around four hours—though some users report stronger performance with noticeable sillage in the first few hours. It is particularly praised as a cost-effective alternative to Creed’s Green Irish Tweed, offering a similar aromatic profile at a fraction of the price. Some critics note inconsistent performance, suggesting issues with product maturity or formulation variability, but the majority found it to be a strong, reliable clone that is both elegant and crowd-pleasing.
