Creed Aventus vs Creed Green Irish Tweed Eau de Parfum: Creed's two most famous men's scents
Short answer: Green Irish Tweed is the greener, cleaner, more classic Creed with lavender and oakmoss; Aventus is fruitier and smokier.
Before Aventus, there was Green Irish Tweed: the original Creed status scent. Now the internet argues about which is better.

How they differ
- Green Irish Tweed lists bergamot, lemon and peppermint, then geranium and lavender, on oakmoss and woods. Green, clean, a little old-school.
- Aventus is the fruitier, smokier, louder one according to most reviews.
Try both first
A 1 ml of each costs $11.98 together. Wear one on each wrist and check at 10 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours (how to test properly).
Verdict: Aventus if you want the hype. Green Irish Tweed if you want the thing the hype was built on. Twelve dollars of samples decides it.
