Isle of Vert For Men

Isle of Vert chases the clean, green sophistication of Creed's Green Irish Tweed - the rural, refined fougere that has set the template for elegant masculines since 1985. It opens crisp and zesty with lemon verbena over a powdery thread of iris, that fresh, photorealistic top that GIT fans know so well. The heart is the soul of the scent: a cool, leafy violet leaf with aromatic basil, earthy vetiver and a touch of violet, evoking crushed greenery in a damp meadow. The base grounds it with smooth sandalwood, warm amber and dry cedar. Against the original, Isle of Vert does a faithful job of the recognisable shape - wearers regularly rate it among the closer GIT clones - but reviewers are candid that it wears mellower and more linear than the Creed, lacking some of the original's crisp intensity and freshness, with shorter longevity and softer projection. What you get is the elegant green-fougere character, clean and versatile, for a fraction of the price. Best in spring and summer, an easy and inoffensive pick for the office, daily wear and smart occasions.
