Rain

This is indeed a gorgeous fragrance with, as many have mentioned, similarities to GIT. Although the cost is exorbitant for something that’s not wholly unique but what it lacks in originality, it makes up for in quality. GIT is one of my favourite fragrances. I love a scent that is fresh and spicy and whilst performance is okay, its initial blast does diminish somewhat which leaves me wanting more. This fragrance has solved that issue, being more concentrated and denser. Although quite similar, it’s not exactly the same, as others have pointed out. For one, it’s not so sharp or piercing and that violet leaf note is noticeable absent. Instead, I find this is fuller, smoother, thicker and creamier with slightly more floral touches, yet it still maintains the fresh, green, spiciness that I enjoy. Someone previously mentioned GIT Extrait and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. Longevity seems excellent although its denser quality means it sits closer to the skin but will still be noticeable to those around you. Stunning bottle as well. I really do like this as a wonderful, high performance alternative to GIT but its price is a massive inhibitor. Personally, this offers me everything I want in a fragrance; scent, quality and performance the only downside is cost, although I’d happily forgo a few of my cheaper fragrances for one bottle of this and it’s likely to become my spring/summer signature.

I fell on the tracks and got ran over by the hype train with this one. Green Irish Tweed is my second favorite fragrance of all time (behind Layton), so when I read reviews touting Rain's supremacy over GIT I bought a full bottle. Thank goodness I got a great deal on it because I was not nearly as impressed as some of the reviewers below me were. Now don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic scent, but it is not substantially better than GIT. In fact, I actually prefer the Creed. To my nose, Rain and GIT are about 75% similar, the 25% difference between the two is subtle and mostly evident in the drydowns. Thanks to the musk and cypress, Rain is denser and heavier than GIT and, as a result, has slightly better performance. I prefer the lightness and the airiness of GIT, however, as it's more fitting with Spring and early Summer, the seasons when GIT is my go-to. So, in short, unless you have money to burn, just buy Green Irish Tweed. This is perhaps the only time you will hear Creed touted as the cheaper and better option.

This one fits right up there with GIT and Chez Bond but don't get mistaken, it is not a clone because its can easily go head to head with Creed GIT and even beat it in my opinion. The name Rain is so fitting because its really does transport you to a costal/ cliff area where your surrounded by trees, rocks, sea water and flowers. But right when your there, a day time rain shower comes down and passes within 5 mins and your immediately dried up by the sun and then the wind starts to pick up and with the breeze you can smell the salty sea air, the trees/grass and all the florals. The initial spray does smell like Creed GIT but as it gets closer to the mid it gets much smoother and creamier than GIT. If Creed GIT had an age it would be a successful middle age man in his mid 40s to 50s and Rain would be a successful up and coming entrepreneur in his late 20s to early 30s. I dont even need to get into performance and longevity because its a parfum extrait and it last 6-8 hours easily.

If you ever wished a potent and way more natural green Irish tweed then this one is right up your ally. Stunning fragrance. Superbly well blended. It smells 100% similar to green Irish tweed with much more smoothness in the Drydown. Performance is excellent .I just have a small vial and even with small application I can smell if for almost 10+ hours. Am surely gonna grab a bottle of this but wished it to be priced a little lower. This is a good house and need to be explored except for the price factor.

Astonishingly beautiful! The perfect realization of what a luxury, contemporary, masculine fragrance in tune with the times would smell like. Yes, it echoes Green Irish Tweed, Chez Bond, and Cool Water, yet it ventures into new space: smoothness, depth, and more aromatic dimensions than its peers. Is it the most original perfume idea of its time? No. It is the best actualization of the idea to date? Yes, absolutely.
