Egra

First Impressions & Dry Down

Egra opens with a blast of lemon verbena, sharp and invigorating. It's close to Green Irish Tweed's opening, maybe 75% there. The iris is present, adding a powdery, slightly earthy counterpoint. Where it differs from Creed is in the heart; the violet leaf isn't as refined, carrying a touch of synthetic green. The drydown is where Egra finds its own footing. The ambergris is a muted, salty impression, and the sandalwood is a creamy anchor. It mimics the woody elegance of GIT, but lacks the natural depth.

Performance Reality Check

Egra performs admirably for its price point. You’ll get about 5-6 hours of noticeable projection, creating a respectable scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin for another 2-3 hours. It doesn’t have the all-day staying power of Green Irish Tweed, but reapplying is no issue.

Conclusion

Egra by Rasasi is a worthy alternative to Green Irish Tweed for the budget-conscious. It captures the essence of the clean, sophisticated, windswept field vibe – that classic, outdoorsy spirit. It's a great grab for someone starting their fragrance journey or who enjoys the GIT DNA and doesn’t want to break the bank. The slight synthetic edge in the heart won’t bother most. Buy this if you like smelling casually elegant.
