Green Tea (1999)
by Elizabeth Arden

I agree absolutely with Mazenderan. a great opening and then nothing, I mean NOTHING AT ALL
A thumbs up for its great opening, a thumbs down for its longevity, final then is a neutral

A refreshing, clean scent, this opens with the green tea, and ends with a light citrus scent on me. Good for a warm summers day, it lasts 4-6 hours, and it is the only Elizabeth Arden perfume I can wear that does not overwhelm me.

I don't dislike this scent. It's a pleasant, citrussy tea affair. However, there's no way to tell how it might deepen or develop over time, as it wears off in about ten minutes flat. There's an initial burst of sharp fragrance, and then it's gone.

No depth, no staying power. It's amazing to compare this to Blue Grass (not even a favourite of mine) in terms of depth and longevity. What on earth is Arden up to these days?

I got a strong shot of citrus, followed by sweet flowers with a tea undertone. Then nothing... it just faded away in no time flat.

Overall, a bland scent that doesn't stick around long. I'd be better served getting a deodorant spray at the drug store. So not worth the price.

All i smell is a sort of mentholated white musk with a citrus-floral undertone, combined with an aromatic green ambery tea. The citrus are prominent at the beginning and are combined with a green tea note which appears flavoured by a woodsy-floral poutporri. In the dry down emerges the mildness of white amber that on the side of musk softens the prickly temperament of citruses. The accord between green tea, jasmine and amber is decently sophisticated. The mint enhances the glamour feel of the creation. Not bad. The projection is notable.

At first spray I get the overwhelming tea, I thought oh boy, too much. Then it mellows and I get the lemon & sweetness and it settles in to a delicate floral w the tea background (I don't get the mint or spices). I have to agree that it cycles very quickly and has almost no lasting power. Pleasant and unobtrusive perfect for summer days and vacations imo.
