A captivating composition: the fragrance notes

Green Irish Tweed is an aromatic fougère that combines fresh and woody notes into a balanced and timeless experience. The main layers of the scent are:

  • Top notes: lemon verbena, iris – a fresh, green-citrus opening with a light powdery touch.
  • Heart notes: violet leaf – a green and floral heart that adds elegance.
  • Base notes: ambergris, sandalwood – a warm and woody finish that leaves a lasting trail.

The scent begins with the freshness of lemon verbena and iris, moves on to the green heart of violet leaf, and ends on a warm base of ambergris and sandalwood. This combination makes the fragrance a year-round choice, especially in spring and summer.

First impression: a fresh opening

When you spray Green Irish Tweed on your skin, you are greeted by the citrus freshness of lemon verbena, softened by the gentle powderiness of iris – the first impression is instantly lively and energetic. This opening recalls Ireland's green meadows and wakes the senses with morning freshness. After a few moments the citrus begins to soften and makes room for the heart notes of violet leaf, which add a green softness to the scent. The first impression is light and refined and suits daytime activities perfectly.

Daytime development: the scent unfolds

Green Irish Tweed develops over the course of the day and offers a versatile fragrance experience that adapts to different situations. In the morning the freshness of lemon verbena dominates, bringing out lightness and elegance and suiting the start of the day, for example at the office. As the day goes on, violet leaf adds a green depth, making the scent suitable for lunchtime meetings. By evening the notes of ambergris and sandalwood come forward, bringing a warm, woody undertone that works well for evening events.

Evening charm: warmth and depth

In the evening, Green Irish Tweed reveals its warmer side, making it an ideal companion for evening occasions. The violet leaf heart notes are still perceptible, but the ambergris and sandalwood base notes begin to dominate, bringing out a creamy, woody undertone and adding depth and elegance to the scent. This warmth is perfect for evening events, be it a gala or a quiet dinner, and gives the wearer a confident, timeless aura.

Long wear: a lasting trail

Green Irish Tweed is designed to deliver a long-lasting fragrance experience that accompanies you through the day and evening.

This makes the scent a great choice for men looking for a lasting and elegant fragrance.
