Aspen For Men

An excellent budget alternative to Creed's Green Irish Tweed. Th openings are pretty different, (more pine tree than grassy hay, ) but it's still got a clean, dark masculine "thing" to it that I really enjoy, and the drydown is SO similar. I'm sure to other people, they smell the same on me, but I thing GIT beats it only in longevity and depth, still a fanTASTIC fragrance, and it’s what I’ll probably stick with after running out of GIT

I bought this after researching a lot. I was looking for a light, green cologne to wear after shower. I have had cool water in the past but that is not for me, I just dont like it. Everyone's nose is different and some frags just dont work for some, cool water was that for me. While I like the green opening of Aspen, it dried down to almost the same as cool water and that put me off. I will likely gift it out. If you are looking for something green I would recommend Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, which is what I eventually got to tick off my green fougere that I wanted. Despite the lower price point I didnt find Aspen to be synthetic, and the longevity was decent around 3-4 hours and that was my expectation from a cologne. It is an intimate skin frag, which also aligned with my expectation. Just the strong resemblance with CW killed it for me, but that's just me. Hope this helps!

Ive always wantes to try Aspen. Ive tried the original GIT, Tres Nuit by Armaf, The Irish Gentleman by Alexandria Fragrances. First off, The Irish Gentleman is so exceptionally close to GIT, its not worth spending the money on the original. We are talking 97-98% from start to finish. I will never buy GIT again. But wanting to try this classic budget. I always liked its box and presentation and name. The initial spray was a blast of greens, lemon, bergamot, and lavendar. It was more lemon forward than the others in the DNA. Where Tres Nuit really pushes more lavendar-Iris floral than GIT/TIG. Aspen has a stronger lemon-bergamot note. I also find Tres Nuit a bit too cloying and overwhelming. Aspen is much more linear than the others. For a budget cologne, its to be expected. Its sillage is very weak and longevity is only 2-4 hours. But for $10-12, not bad at all. I do not get the piney juniper, woody aspects others have been discussing. I feel aspen is stripped much of the woodiness despite its name and packaging. Rasasi Egra is the GIT clone to go for of one wants a more coniferous take on the DNA. I would say Aspen is closer to GIT/TIG(I do not seperate them, TIG to me is an extrait of GIT) than Tres Nuit. If youre wanting a more purple floral interpretation, Tres Nuit is great, if youre looking for a fresher cool citrus accord, Aspen is your best bet. If you want a more pine forward confierous experience, Rasasi Egra. If you want a true nearly 100% identical dupe of GIT but last hours longer, Alexandria The Irish Gentleman.

Super safe blind buy, exactly what I was expecting from the reviews and genuinely impressive for the price point (I got it for ~$12). It is a very fresh and clean smell. Sharp, masculine, green, entirely inoffensive to pedestrians. Its not groundbreaking or challenging, but that has an important place in a collection for people who want to be in public without causing a scene. Great spring/summer daytime office and errands kinda smell. I got this to try to round out my collection (that leans heavily into fall/winter woody scents) and in that metric, it definitely fills a niche I was entirely missing. I don't think it will ever be my favorite, but at the same time, I believe I will be reaching for this often because its so simple and easy for masculine days. Will probably keep this in my drawer at the office for the days I need a little midday pick me up, once the morning scent fades.

Davidoff Cool Water clone. Clean detergent scent. Uninspiring.

Irish Spring soap in a bottle. Very clean, fresh, and masculine. Easy dumb reach out of the shower.

Smells like you walked into a magical forest and found a pine tree with lemonade seeping out of the branches. A set it and forget it everyday fragrance. You will smell fresh and clean for as long as it lasts on your skin. For the price, everyone should own a bottle.

First impression from spraying on my arm: Cool Water but more herby and less minty/airy/cool. It is more like the original Cool Water from lancaster. I like it a lot and it is very inexpensive. If you layer this with Cool Water you probably get something like Green Irish Tweed.

Aspen for Men by Coty is an aromatic, woody, and green fragrance. Its opening is citrusy and green, with fresh, aromatic nuances. As time passes, aromatic notes like lavender and geranium are incorporated, along with woody notes of pine, juniper, and a touch of oakmoss, making this fragrance transport us to a coniferous forest, including that damp, earthy scent that permeates such a place. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear and any season. Suitable for both formal and casual occasions, for everyday use. Its aroma evokes perfumes of bygone eras, yet remains very pleasant. It is likely to appeal to men of any age, although those of us in our later years will appreciate it more. Its longevity is moderate, lasting between 5 and 6 hours on the skin with a discreet sillage. Its scent is reminiscent of other 80s fragrances like Creed's Green Irish Tweed and Davidoff's Cool Water; the difference lies in the price and quality. This particular fragrance is inexpensive and very pleasant.

This is Irish Spring soap in cologne form. Nothing else. Great scent but sadly it doesnt last long.

The perfumer creator is Harry Frémont known for also for CK One and Estée Lauder's Miracle. Looks like perfumers only get credit on here for a fragrance based on its price. I think we need to get scientific and actually get down to what things (chemistry) smell like as opposed to the hallucinations people are having on here mostly related to the price. Most of us take a bath (I hope), wear a deodorant and most of the newer ones are now actual (not linear) fragrances. For example, Old Spice Pure Sport deodorant is also a soapy/ sports/ citrus /musk skin fragrance, Dial 3 in 1 Recharge, Cedar leaf is also a lasting green sharp/ Sports/ camphoraceous and herbal skin fragrance. So whatever you're wearing, I don't care if it $1000 a bottle eau de toilette you will smell like the combination of all those things, plus of course your particular skin type. So, you want to get to GIT and even slightly improve on it (less like a French whore)? Get the Dial Men's Recharge bath wash , Old Spice Pure Sport clear blue deodorant stick and add three (3) spray of Aspen on inside of you cotton shirt upper chest (terrible sprayer 3 = about 1.5). You get GIT that I like more because it's slightly more understated, sharper, less floral, less powdery, more masculine, soapy (athletic). Long lasting good 8 hours, low projection, close to the skin (totally different but a natural part of you like Guerlain Vetiver is). You can ask the most experienced perfumer in the world about what I'm saying and they will agree. This is not rocket science. Is chemistry not pretension girls? Man up!

Aspen is very synthetic and harsh, it has a resembling DNA to GIT but there's a clear difference in quality and far less enjoyable to wear. Aspen is more pine and less everything else. GIT is more minty and develops nicely between different notes. Aspen is very one dimensional. I've worn both and GIT is better tenfold, I'd love that not to be the case considering how expensive it is. But if you want the best of that DNA. GIT is where it's at. As for cool water it gives me a headache although a slightly closer resemblance to GIT imo.

Despite the cheap price this is a waste of money. It has similarities to Cool Water, yes, and Armaf Tres Nuit, yes, but both are better than Aspen. I keep it for after shower trying to finish it as soon as possible. I guess some could appreciate it for nostalgia reasons, that I don't have. I am sure that decades ago this was great, but now even a $10 Adidas would make more sense. Performance too is next to nothing.

Black ice car freshener

I bought a large 118 ml bottle of this together with Cool Water and Hot Water both by Davidoff. I compared it with the CW and yes, they share some same note. But they don't smell exactly the same. Aspen is greener while CW is more aquatic especially the one that I bought that is a 2022 production as I said in my other review. But I love them both. CW is still my favorite. Price wise, I'll go with Aspen rather than GIT. I can buy 40 large bottles of Aspen for the price of a single bottle of GIT.

I chanced upon a 4 oz tester for $2, never smelled it before, I said, "why not"? I have lots of bottles and feel Voyage & Cool Water rightfully have their place in a collection. I even have been pleasantly surprized by a couple of $10 YZY bottles in the past. I wear fragrance around the clock and this will be my weekend yardwork juice, it's 'okay' all things considered and like many say, if you like Irish Spring soap, well this is very close in a bottle. However I don't think it's anywhere near the level of Cool Water or Voyage.

Bought this because other descriptions compared it to Green Irish Tweed. It's a hygenic, lightly barbershop-esque fragrance that's great for feeling a little cleaner. I get more enjoying wearing it around the house than I do wearing it out.

Honestly, I was looking for an irish spring type fragrance and this nails it. Just smells green and fresh. If you like Irish Spring soap smell, you'd like this as it is definitely the same vibe. Just like irish spring is marketed to men, but women could wear it, I think similarly with this scent. Good every day or weekend scent. Fine for anything casual.. errands etc. I think it'd smell out of place for a date night.. For $10.. it is worth a buy. If you don't like it, give it to someone.

When baby girl opens up with the green notes and citruses not only smelling similar to eucalyptus, but also behaving similarly, opening your sinuses wide up. Yeah, after the koala heaven opening, it gets pretty linear. But it remains complex regardless. Synthetic, but hardly as synthetic as some designers and niches that cost eight times as much. It's a great value and every last bite in the base and middle of the pyramid is apparent. I really like it. Fresh and green, while also being so smooth it's almost creamy. One of the best cheapies I've ever smelled.

I like it. Very similar to GIT and Cool Water. Great for spring and summer days. Casual wear. Spicy, Green and Woody scent.

Oh, Aspen, where have you been all my life? This is so nice, so green and fresh like a mountain forest on a summer day! This is delightful, takes you back, but not too far - still feels modern despite everything. Even younger guys than me could rock this. Definitely deserving of a comeback like @Pranav said! The bottle is fine, the atomizer too, but the stamped sheet metal cap is a surprise and a first to me. Slides on smooth though, sorta satisfying. Guess they really cut corners, huh? I'm not too familiar with the canon of Coty. I wonder when exactly it was discontinued... my bottle (batch 3212) is at least 2 years old despite being brand spankin' new!

Give it a try.. it does deserve a come back. Really clean fresh green fragrance which takes you to the forest. Uplifting fragrance It is not dated as I never smelled anyone like this. So don’t go by comments dated for this unless you personally have smelt this back in those days.

Not the best performance but such a nice bouquet, I love GIT and have been a pretty die hard Davidoff Cool Water fan but this is better than Cool Water and for about 1/15th the price of a grey market Greed Green Irish Tweed tester it may be the gold medalist of that group. Dried down from the slightly cloying opening it shares with CW the green, woody, and animalic give way to an occasional sharply floral and or fruity note. Might even be my favorite barbershopy fougere frag above Chanel PE but too early to tell. Definitely my dumb reach and lounge fragrance for the foreseeable future.

I blind bought this since I have thing for old school classic scents like brut and drakar noir. Yes , this smells like those classic 70s macho frags. Smells like an car air freshener or like one of those spray you sometimes use in the bathroom do hide the bad smells. It smells like pine trees and citrus. It not bad compared to the really bad ones I have in my collection just very out dated and cheap. Can't complain for this price though. In conclusion: If you like old school frags that repells bugs and mosquitos and makes you smell like pine trees or wounderbaums then yes.

I'm not quite 11 years old. It's my very first "cologne." The ever advancing awkwardness that comes with pre-pubescence has me fascinated with prospect of being an adult one day, though I am still very much a child with none of the furrows of maturity and not a clue what wisdom really means. "Old" to me is someone in their 20s. Yet, grown-up things fascinate me, and its time for me to have something to wear like my older brother's Polo. There it is, affordable with my allowance—that spade shaped poplar leaf on the bottle beckoning me. Trees! That is what a man smells like, trees, forests! Like Paul Bunyan. That opening watery (aquatic), leafy green blast embedded into my memory, that "mountain air" sensation I felt, slopes of pine trees and rolling meadows, this is the archetypal smell of manhood. Really, it is the nostalgia of Aspen that, when smelling an old bottle again, has me returning to the days of keeping up with the latest fashion of my classmates—Rude Dog, jams and stone-washed jeans. That summer, Bobby Brown and Jody Watley are ruling the airwaves and I am saving up for Vuarnet shades (or knock off versions). I am doused in my Aspen. Within a year or two, I would graduate to Cool Water. Within a year or two, I would graduate to Cool Water.

Aspen is a really good smelling fragrance and I wear it often. It is similar to Tres Nuit, which I like, but seems a bit less powdery and more fresh smelling to me. I would rate it 8/10.

Aspen. This is about the simple highly effective pleasures in life. Better than the modern version of Cool Water. Second skin, never boring, blends in and last in an intimate way, mood booster and confidence enhancer. You live the wilderness and it’s an immersive experience. Never without anymore, a lifeline in the crowded space of ever-blossoming and dying cycle of perfumes.

Aspen is a classic scent that I never had the chance to own until adulthood. Growing up, this was very much the fragrance of the “cool kids.” Recently, I found myself thinking about it out of the blue and decided to see if it was still available. To my surprise, it was — and at around $15 on Amazon, I couldn’t resist picking up a bottle. Rather than reviewing the notes in detail, which are well documented elsewhere, I’ll focus on how it feels for me. Aspen does have a noticeably synthetic character, especially when compared to the fragrance lineage it’s inspired by. That said, it’s still instantly recognizable and nostalgic in the best way. I wasn’t aware of Creed Green Irish Tweed until much later, nor that Aspen ultimately traces back to that DNA through a chain of inspirations. I did wear Cool Water more than twenty years ago, though I don’t recall making any connection to Aspen at the time. Recently, after receiving a sample of Green Irish Tweed from Dillard’s, my immediate reaction was, “This reminds me of Aspen.” I don’t mean that dismissively — the difference in quality and refinement is obvious, with Green Irish Tweed being noticeably fresher and smoother. Where my experience diverges from expectations is in performance. On my skin, Green Irish Tweed faded fairly quickly, becoming a faint skin scent within about two hours. I still have some of the sample left and plan to revisit it in warmer weather. Aspen, by contrast, lasts a respectable four to six hours for me. Aspen will remain in my collection as an easy, outdoors-friendly option — something I can reach for when I don’t want to overthink my choice. It may not be refined, but it’s familiar, reliable, and carries a sense of nostalgia that I still enjoy.

"Carefree" in a bottle.

I could care less how many snobs shit on this because it’ll always be in my collection for a s long as I can get it. Surprised at how much good attention it’s gotten me over the years, an iconic timeless classic in my eyes 👍👍
