Elizabeth Arden: Green Tea, Eau de Toilette

After falling in love with Body Shop's Passion Flower Eau de Parfum, I was devastated to find out that the fragrance had been discontinued. So the next time I was at our Duty Free, I went looking for a substitute, and the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea was what I went home with. From their webpage, they say the scent is made up as follows: Top Notes: Caraway, Fruity Rhubarb, Lemon, Orange Zest and Bergamot Middle Notes: Cool Minty Peppermint, Green Tea, Sweet Jasmine, Spicy Carnation, Fresh Fennel and Crisp Celery Spice Base Notes: Oakmoss, Musk and Amber While all this sounds interesting, I have to say that I was surprised by ...  Read the complete review

Never having had green tea, I have no idea if this smells like green tea. But what I can tell you is it smells lovely. This perfume is fresh and uplifting and to me smells like when it's been raining in a flower garden (this is a good smell, by the way). I would have never normally even looked twice at a perfume like this but this was my main 'gift' in my show bag at London Fashion Week, so I though I might as well try it. I am a bit of a perfume addict and I go around shops trying every single one so I am pretty specific about what I like; this had no exception. At first I was a bit wary of it; it smelled a little old-ladyish to begin with. But as the day went on ...  Read the complete review

Get a free sample at www.green-tea.co.uk and try it for yourself for free. It's a lovely, light fragrance with the scent of green tea and a clean citrus/herby topnote. There's a range of related products with some newbies like cooling patches in the limited edition range. Smallest spray is around £17 - a bit big for a handbag though. The next size up ius a better bargain with twice the amount for just £23. At John Lewis (and possibly other) stores right now there's a very good promotion - spend £10 and get one free Elizabeth Arden product from a special range, spend £20 and get 2 etc. And one of the products on offer is a very nice handbag ...  Read the complete review

Where delicate white lace tablecloths are laden with blue Wedgwood china saucers and tea cups. A small pot for cream is nestled beside a huge pile of scones and jam. The faint scent of tea lingers in the air. This is what Elizabeth Arden's newest, Green Tea reminds me of. Green Tea is a very subtle scent, not overpowering (ala Chanel,) where less is more. It’s very light, and as the name implies, smells like freshly boiled Green Tea. I find a small spritz on my neck, and a spritz shared between my wrists lasts for roughly five hours with out need to refresh. It's a very pleasant scent, and you often forget you're wearing it. This scent is ...  Read the complete review

I received this perfume (Eau de Toilette) for my birthday, along with a scrub, moisturiser and face wash. It is presented in a glass bottle which is tinted leaf and an embossed leaf on the front. This gives an organic, natural feel to the product. The bottle shape is slim, tall and rectangular, the regular size is 3.3 fl. oz. and there is a small spray dispenser on the top, convered by a lid which fits well and stays on. The smell: I would describe this as a fresh, lingering, delicate yet long lasting fragrance which is not overpowering but noticeable. I can really smell the sweet green tea and also citus smells which lift the ...  Read the complete review
