Got a bottle of GIT, not sure if it is real or not .

Post: #2

It looks about as real as mine, though I no longer have it on hand. Where did you buy it from?

Post: #3

Gotta smell it and compare to be 100% sure.

It's real.

Possible fake, not 100% certain. I just checked my bottle and box, got both from Nordstroms retail location in DC. Batch number is not on the bottom but on the back side, near the bottom of the bottle. Underside of the spray nozzle isn't the same either. Can you post more shots of the underside, back side of the bottle and the box itself? Where did you buy it from? Only place you can be certain it's legit is from a Creed boutique, online from Creed or an authorized Creed retailer. If you get it from discount dealers, you "may" have a legit bottle, but it could be very old and possibly expired. Otherwise, there's a high likelihood that it's fake. If there's a Nordstrom's near you, they may have a Creed store there you can bring the bottle in and they can confirm for you.

I got it from lily direct.Sprayer not being completely black and under side of the sprayer is different from what I have seen ( makes me concerned.I checked the batch number and it is made in 2014, maybe it the new design.

I think this is the link you meant to post:



could be legit, might be an old bottle. How much did you pay for it? Keep in mind, I used to be a huge fan of buying from discount sellers, but after my experience with buying two fake bottles, I'll only buy from Creed or an authorized retailer. Only reason I say this is if you don't buy from them, you're taking a gamble as to if you're getting a legit product or not. Another thing to keep in mind is that even if it's a legit bottle, it could be old, not stored properly (too warm for storage conditions,etc), this can affect it's usefulness. But in the end, if you like the scent, go for it.

Quote:One thing I notice with counterfeit Green Irish Tweed bottles is that the bottle itself has centered seams connecting two units of glass, which are visible from the top. These seams are usually very distinct and sharp because the glass is not coated the same way as the genuine article. Here, from a top view, you can see how the flask-shaped bottle does have a seam, but it is very soft-looking. Obviously the real Creed bottle manufacturer connects the two parts before the matte black coating process, and that makes the seams somewhat indistinct. Anything that looks like fancy plastic in the seamwork should be regarded with suspicion. Take a look at the more obvious seams on the fake GIT here:

Oops, as long as it smells nice, it's a better deal.

It is the new design.
