Eau de Thé Vert (2000)
by Roger & Gallet

EdTV is another fragant water (eau parfumante) by R&G.
It has less longevity that say, Eau de Lotus Bleu but much more than Extra Vieille.
It has tangerine, yuzu, grapefruit, green tea, cedar and guaic woods among other notes.
Very fresh at the top, it’s more unisex than Arden’s Green Tea but I prefer this one because I don’t have to spray every 5 minutes or so, and the sillage is rather good and very green and spring-like.
It seems like a better rendition of the yerbamate leaf instead of a “real” green tea wich, if you have ever smelled the real thing, you’ll know what I’m talking about, as there is nothing truly close to it, and it’s difficult to describe.
This Green Tea is a another great adition to my R&G fragrance collection.

I really like the green tea but the citrus notes, faint as they are, just ruin it for me. I find thay don't quite blend with the tea and have a light but sour edge which I don't like and seem slightly feminine to me.

Finally, a superb green tea fragrance for men. The green tea is very pure and natural in this one, it simply dominates, and with the added woods it gives a mascluine character. It's really soothing and uplifting, and it could be worn any season, anytime and any occasion. The longevity is also quite surprising. This one is definitely on par with my beloved Yang, and as far as tea scents go, this is definitely right up there in the top 3 if not the best.

Wow!
I finally found a great green tea scent!
This one really smells like green tea.
Very natural, yet fresh.
Ok, the scent remains close to the skin, but that's fine like that.
Will get a bottle tomorrow!
