Well the title says it all. Normally a 4 oz. bottle of Creed Green Irish Tweed typically retails for around $250. I do know for a fact there are legit online stores that sell the exact same product for $140. With that being said, I went to google and found places selling it for $90 etc. 
I would like your opinion on these stores. Does it sound legit, etc?
Let me put it this way. At THAT price for a 4oz bottle, either its going to be a fake or it’s going to be new old stock. That means that while it IS real and may even still be wrapped, it’ll be old juice that may have lost some of its pizzaz. Not worth the risk either way, in my opinion. I believe Denec got a medioce bottle of GIT from FragranceNet even, which was one of the sites selling it at $140. If you don’t want to pay that much for a cologne, i suggest you look into getting the 1oz bottle for now and save it for special occasions.
Thanks a lot Mr. Feel Good. I have no doubts about your reasoning in regards to the low prices. I have never tried this scent, but if I really like it, I would be more than happy to pay $140 for a 4 oz. bottle. I think I will have to go to Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom and test it out and see if I like it, then go from there. Denec pmed me 3 sites that he always gets CGIT and that was one of the sites he mentioned. I appreciate your help once again. 
From my research on the matter, it seems that Scentiments.com has been one of the most highly rated discount fragrance sites for Creed. That’s coming from Basenotes people who have bought it and put up feedback on the forums. Just thought i’d let ya know. 
Damn you’re good lol…You’re 2-0…Denec recommended that site as well, but I believe that store is currently out of stock of CGIT 4 oz. bottles 
. Yep just checked. They are temporarily out of stock.
I have a question 
Can men tell if a women is wearing a knock off perfume. I mean if I were wearing say pink sugar or one of my other favorites but it was a dupe would you know?
I think maybe just people really into perfume or cologne would but not your everyday person. Not if the dupe smells good at least.
I tend to get more compliments with dupes or very unique scents then I do with expensive perfumes.
Just wondering…
Tisha
Good question Tisha. Perfumes/colognes/fragrances/scents etc. has been a recent big hobby of mine. I just love to smell nice, and love a sexy perfume on a girl. It just adds that extra touch I think . As far as a knock off perfume goes, as you said I think only a true conossieur or someone with lots of experience and passion in this field can tell the difference, and your avg. joe such as myself wouldn’t be able to say “Hey now Tisha, you’re wearing that knock off pink sugar now today aren’t you, you clever woman” I say if the dupe smells almost identical, then just save lots of money and go with the more affordable version. Just my 2 cents on that subject. Unless you’re one of those women that has to get their name brand stuff (Gucci, Chanel, etc) so they have that pride factor, then I would just stay with the dupes that you love. Plus you said you get more compliments with it, so its a win win situation.
Tisha with authentic perfume vs Tisha with a clone perfume. Only one way to find out. As always I volunteer my services since I’m such a gentleman.
Let me tell you something about Creed in general.
Since Creed uses a higher percentage of natural ingredients then most perfumes and uses less synthetics, it is possible to get a bad bottle much more often then buying your regular dept. store cologne.
That is one reason for the high prices, and another reason is marketing.
The reason I mention that is you want to purchase from a well known retailer whether it be Saks, Bergdorf/Neimans or a well known online vendor with an easy exchange policy if you do get a bad bottle. It does happen. Not a lot, but it happens more with Creeds then probably other houses.
How do I know? Well in my time it happened to me twice, I bought a bad bottle of Himalaya from Saks, and bought a bad bottle of Green Irish Tweed from my last purchase.
But the great thing about both places was easy exchange/returns. For example I know with Sentiments/Frangrancenet they have a no hassle easy exchange policy just like Androtics.
When I got my bad bottle I called up fragrancenet, and told them I would like to exchange, they emailed me right away a pre-paid USPS priority shipping label. It got there in 1 day since I am in NY. That same day they shipped out another Green Irish Tweed and I got mine next day service.
I know Scentiments has the same easy going return policy.
When you are spending this money on a high quality cologne you want to make sure you are getting that cologne.
So what am I getting at? I really do not know about those other places you linked, never ordered but I rather pay a little but more and get peace of mind.
More then likely not if it smells good unless the person is a hobbyist, I don’t like dupes only because I have no idea what is being put in them and if it safe
I have heard of dangerous chemicals being used in knockoffs depending upon where you getting it
Many times from what i heard but i am not an expert with dupes since i stay away is that the topnotes smell great then it fades away, other times you will not get the longevity, of a real cologne or perfume
I know in Chinatown, NYC they are well known for their imitations and knockoffs and I stay so far away from them
I also stay away from the perfume district in midtown because half of them are dupes and so hard to tell real from the fakes
Tisha, perfumes smell different on different people. This gives you a margin of safety when wearing perfumes. Few if any people are going to be able to identify it. If they guess they often guess wrong.
I read a very amusing book on winemaking. The home winemaker/author had a friend who prided himself on his knowledge of wines and looked down on the homemade efforts. The home winemaker bought a very expensive vintage that got great reviews, and served it to his friend telling him it was his homemade potato wine. The “expert” expounded on its poor quality, how it tasted of moist soil, etc. I don’t think the home winemaker was so cruel to tell his friend what he really reviewed, but he told all his readers.
The moral of this is: if it smells good on you, wear it. If anyone asks what it is tell them it’s something incredibly expensive and unobtainable. They’ll love it.
That said, I have many thousands of dollars of perfumes in my cabinet. There are some things that are just downright expensive and they don’t have cheap substitutes. I wear exotics them because I like them on me. I doubt one person in a million can recognise them accurately though.
This is true and something you have to watch out for. I tend to like the small online vendors who create their own scents using EO’s and natural products but you need to be careful with them as well. Once in a while they sell dupes like for pink sugar and this is the only dupe scent I have ever bought. Pink sugar is not high end though. The funny thing is I get so many more compliments on the dupe then the real thing.
Oh I dont care if people know its a cheep knock off really. When they ask I tell them and tell them where they can get it cheep LOL
I have a huge collection to but not high end stuff. There are a few I have bought or people bought for me as gifts on my route. I work in a very affluent area and these people wont think twice about spending $200 to $300 dollars on a bottle of perfume for their mail carrier LOL. Funny thing is I hardly ever use those because I like the dupes and the unique scents better. I was just wondering if they noticed that the perfume I wore cost me under $20. Most people compliment me on scents and want to know where I got them.
Tisha
Is it just me, or do perfume usually cost less than cologne? 
I think so revivia… last perfume I bought a friend of mine was, Giorgio Beverly Hills - Red.
I liked it so much, I got myself the mens version lol.
There’s a seller on ebay that has 6 samplers for a good deal (~$12). So that’s probably about 2.5 to-go bottles worth.
I figured it was worth a shot simply to try it out, and I am a big fan of the stuff now. Probably the first cologne I’ve ever tried that I liked right off the bat.
Wow thanks a lot marty. That is an amazing deal. I am going to buy that tonight and if I don’t get bored of it, I’ll buy the 4 oz. bottle for sure.
Just bought it. Thanks again for the tip.
Yeah, I figure I’d also get the full size real deal eventually, but it was a bit expensive to take a random dive on. I actually like little samples cause it lets me get a super small amount out of them to dab on. I usually find that such a small amount is all I need for daily activities, or to cover a single spray of pheromones. Maybe a couple dabs at the most.
Seems it’s going to last you several months then lol.
