    Wow. 1.5 years and not a single reply to this? Wish there was, because I had the same question, especially for their "knock-off" scents, like English Fern and Green Irish Tweed.

    Nope, never have tried the cologne but I will say her aftershave is wonderful. The iced lime is like cutting open a fresh lime and my absolute favorite AS for summer.

    Yes I like that one too. I've also tried the "Blue Juniper," which smells like a Christmas tree - if you like that (I didn't).

    I've just recently tried a couple of samples of Pens and Creed colognes that I like but that are out of my price range for anything beyond small decants. She has some "knock off" versions that are MUCH cheaper, and I might give them a try if they are not too unreasonable facsimiles.

    If that is your goal than look no further than Cool Water. It is the closest "knock off" of GIT. I have tried them side-by-side and they are very, very close.

    I have both the Lime and the Mojito (also the AS splash versions) and love them! They both smell like very fresh ingredients.

    Thanks.

    Are you talking about the TSD "Cool Water-Type" scent (they have one) or the real Cool Water cologne by Davidoff?

    I heard Aspen is also very close to GIT.

    Ha! That's one of my favourite scents (Blue Juniper). It does smell like a Christmas tree....and that can't be bad!

    Never tried their colognes, but I do like the splashes and milks. I don't wear cologne, as I have a very sensitive sense of smell, and long-lasting scents would drive me crazy.

    I know you like it MajorBurnz - it was on your recommendation that I gave it a try. Honestly, it's pleasant enough as a scent, even nice - just seems like more of an air freshener scent than an aftershave scent to me. I wear it around the holidays and used it to fragrance some of our holiday cards! (Not sure the scent survived the delivery time frame of the post though). I still have a lot left if your supply is running low...
    Best,
    Mike
