Tweed

This review is for the "perfumed body spray." My canister says it's made by Taylor of London and is made in England, so that's another company that can take credit for Tweed (who can keep up with all the mergers, buy outs, take overs, etc.?) I like this scent very much - it's not a big powerhouse fragrance but it's very pretty and lasts and lasts. It smells like moss and grass and lily of the valley of all things. I know, grass and l.o.v. are not listed but that's the impression I get. It doesn't smell so woody to me (thank you, Yatagan and Lotion Pompeia for being such diametrically-opposed, gloriously realistic and fantastical woods and forests) but more like a grassy field or prairie of wild flowers. Gentle and romantic. I had read other reviews on other sites that say this is an "old lady" fume. Nothing could be further from the truth - it's really very "youthful" and "carefree." I could see a girl or young woman enjoying this very much. I think I would have gone mad for this when I was younger and I wish I knew about Tweed before. As far as the whole thing about the "old lady perfumes" are concerned - I've come to believe from reading hundreds of reviews of many different fragrances that the definition of "old lady smelling" is anything that does not smell like a drink that comes with an umbrella. How boring! I musta been born old and that's cool with me.

my mother wore this in the 1970s and 1980s. It was nuclear grade but good and well blended. I was feeling nostalgic this week and bought a bottle of the Taylor of London version. it is 100% not the same scent, so distant as to not trigger a sense memory. However, I like this better. It is a very wearable aldehydic green thing with a clean hair note. it strikes me as the perfume equivalent of period movie about the 1970s; it's excellent and enjoyable but not 100% equivalent. this could easily be worn by a man or woman. EDIT: Robert Piguet Futur is a near clone of the OG and worth every penny if you are feeling nostalgic. even the tiny differences are in keeping with the spirit of the original.

I think like the reviewer below, I will keep a bottle of tweed in my Rover (200) although I christened 'him' roy, a few squirts of this very english scent on his interiors will go down a treat ;o) I just bought a bottle of this recently, as I remembered my mum used to wear it a lot when I was young, in the Eighties. I couldn't wait to rediscover it. I adore the scent, I have it on now and can't stop sniffing myself. I'm not sure if I love the actual scent or the connotations connected to it? it smells talky, soft, but not too soft, feminine with a smidge of masculine. I will wear it to work tomorrow and see if I wear it well?! Aww, Mum, you beautiful creature...

Received my 2 to 2 1/2 ounces of vintage Tweed today. It is a lovely woody fragrance. I don't find it dirty at all. Some say it reminds them of thrift store clothing. I don't smell that one bit. I wore Tweed as a teen and loved it then. I will have to get back with sillage and longevity info. If I approved of Fox Hunting, this is what I would wear. I do not approve because blood sports offend me and make me somewhaat ashamed of the human race. I realize only an elitist few Fox Hunt. Well, the longevity is good. I have not really tested enough to speak about its sillage.

my mum tried this once and she really liked it. she said it had a nice depth to it and that she liked the notes in this
