Fresh, daytime, clean, calming and cheering fragrance. And quite long lasting on my wrist at least. But unfortunately I find it way too much citrus. The tea note because of the citrus note can't get trough to the fore. That is why I prefer The Vert from L'Occitane or Yves Rocher, where Tea note is much more distinctive.

The first time I got a whiff of this scent was when I entered an office. The boss was wearing it at that time, and I couldn't help but ask what it was. I never looked at Green Tea the same way again. Haha! It mixed well with my body's chemistry. Its scent reminds you of relaxing days under the shade of a big tree, smelling the grass and wildflowers. Very fresh. One thing I noticed that it doesn't last long enough in my skin, but when sprayed on my clothes or my hair, it lasts all day. Never hurts your nose even when you spray tons on yourself. Highly recommended as a light, everyday scent that will keep you smelling pleasant.

I used to wear Jean Nate after a shower in the summer, to smell fresh. I haven't had any of this for a long time, but now I use Green Tea in the same way. It's sweet and clear and fresh and green. I bought some long ago in Germany, on a hot summer day, when I was sticky and tired from traveling. It was such a pleasant scent, made me feel revived and ready to do more sightseeing. It's been a favorite of mine for summer ever since then.

Whelp, no one can call false advertising on this one. A few sprays of Green Tea by EA sit between regular-smelling you, and you spelling like a tasty beverage.

This is my reset button ( as new friend Sorcerer1001 calls one of his) ... when I've become a little anosmic from the heavies that I like so much, a boiling hot shower and a few spritzes of EA Green Tea is a cleansing experience. This frag has a fabulous classic Cologne feel ... airy, fresh and calming. One of the best (and most pocket friendly!!) tea frags around. I was intrigued to see that it's by Francis Kurkdjian ... well, bonus! Fresh and radiant ... do carry it with you for frequent replenishing :o).

Green Tea is closely related to Tommy Girl by Hilfiger. Doubt it? Both fragrances contain:

Hydroxyisohexyl 3 cyclohexene carboxaldehyde

Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane

Hydroxycitronellal

Citronellal

Isoeugenol

Limonene

Linalool

Geraniol

and of course BHT, alcohol, and water. Consider this - Tommy Girl is a tea floral with a subtle green tea and berry accord grafted onto a base of sheer jasmine and watery green notes. Arden's Green Tea is a subtle citrus and muguet accord grafted onto a prominent jasmine and green tea base, with hints of mint and rose. There are some differences, but the scents are generally the same type of fragrance, and the isoeugenol component is derived from calamus, which infuses them with a watery green note (in Tommy Girl it is extremely prominent; in Green Tea it is there but better blended). The Arden scent also has a real green tea extract in it, which is lacking in Tommy Girl.

Green Tea exhibits some other unique traits, however. The opening is a delightful snap of lemon, orange, and lime, very tart and sweet. Eventually the softer muguet arrives, cradled in a dry green tea and calamus accord. The drydown is simple, with little movement beyond the tea and sweet floral notes. I'd ask for better longevity and sillage, but I know better. This is crisp, clean, and perfect for those hot midsummer days.

I bought a set of Green Tea body lotion and edt on my family's holiday in Samos, Greece. The weather was very hot,and this was a perfect, fresh scent for the season.
I especially loved the body lotion, it gave a cool,soft feeling.
The price was very reasonable. I used the body lotion fast, and will buy another one.
This is a nice, fresh scent for every agegroup.

I am a male and was looking for something to use as a pre-shower bath fragrance for the vibe. and I got it in this one!!fresh, cool, and crisp. I smell green tea x100 and citrus mainly. Very refreshing fragrance!

But I would not use it for anything else than for that "shower bath time vibe" as this is a fragrance that does smell like tea... believe me!!..And I dont want to smell like the production manager for Twinings tea. But I don`t mind it on someone else as it smells very nice as said before.

I used to really like Green Tea a couple of years ago but now I find the scent too sharp and overwhelming. While I prefer 5th Avenue Style as an alternative (which is a scent reminiscent of Green Tea, only softer), I must say that as I approach my early 20s, I seem to have grown out of Elizabeth Arden all together.

Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea is my relax-its Saturday morning fragrance. It serves as my fifteen minutes post it note --- Darling, it's Saturday. Pick up the phone and make an appointment to your favourite spa.


I got myself two bottles and I don't have any regrets.

The citrus is very notable in this. It is a classic tea if you like that note, you should at least try it. But for me the citrus was too strong in this one -- I like some of the flankers better from this line.

A great favourite for everyday wear, tangy citrus but gentle as well, not overpowering as some citrus-y fragrances can be. Can re-apply without smelling like a perfume counter and you do need to reapply as it isn't so long lasting ~ the only drawback. However you feel so fresh & uplifted after spraying it on and it's great value for money too so can reapply as needed.

With the plainest of bottles, and a selection of ingenious formulas that get the job done on very few ingredients, the whole 'Green Tea' family – some of are discontinued, but very few are hard to find – is designed to target those looking for a cost-effective daily scent that doesn't smell tacky, has minimal projection, and won't offend anyone at all. Some are tweaked to smell more fruity-floral, some to smell more herbal or mentholated or spicy or what-not, and all are named so that you know just what to expect, even before hitting the atomiser.

The original is a very pleasant scent that's hard to over-apply, and has a prickly, not-quite-citrus bittersweet edge that's very refreshing when it's hot. Thanks to Chandler Burr, I learned that the 'green tea accord' is an olfactory illusion that uses only two ingredients, neither of which smell tea-like on their own. A neat chemical gizmo invented by Jean-Claude Ellena, sold to Bulgari, and ripped off by dozens of companies ever since.

Of all these latecomers, the original EA Green Tea has the fewest frills, and I like that. It has the quality of a classic illusion or card trick – and it gets me every time, in a charming but non-serious way. It doesn't storm out of the bottle, with a great cry of 'Tremble, for I am Art!', but that's not always what you want, especially when the weather is oppressive.

Green tea is one of my fave fresh scents together with anything citrus. I used to have two bottles of this (hubby bought the first one and I got the next one as soon as I finished the first bottle). For me this frag is love. Not only it is affordable, but it's also a clean, inoffensive scent that makes me smell nice (I get heaps of compliments whenever I have this on) without being too bold and brash. It's a simple yet honest scent perfect for casual, everday wear.

wow wow wow I love it. It's light and fresh and summery, definitely would be great on a hot sunny day. Reminds me a lot of Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca only a lot cheaper and seems to last a bit longer. It's such a feel good scent I just want to keep sniffing it all the time. I can smell green tea and lemon and mint...if only green tea tasted as good as this smells...then I might drink it :-))

I love this perfume!

It's so fresh and ideal for summer days when it's so hot. The scent is refreshing and cooling, especially here in the Philippines, a tropical country, the mint naturally comes out with the beautiful green tea. Those two are the most noticeable, for me at least. But a great scent to wear anytime of the day. Lasts 2-3 hours, but I don't mind spritzing again. :)

It's a usual everyday scant that is plainly meaningless to me. Rhubarb? Apricot? Jasmine (what the hell)?! No, no, no - i can't smell any of them..

Oh yeah i figured out how this fragrance was made - someone poured some green tea and juiced some bergamot into the bottle - voila! ;)

This is an inoffensive, fresh summer scent. I like it, but neither the scent nor the bottle are unusual and unforgettable.

This, to my nose, is a very fresh fragrance. But at the same time, it smells to me like, ummm, bittersweet. I know that's just how tea will smell like, but I still am not comfortable with the sharpness.

Again, I say that it was like that to my nose. To my friend it smells perfect for her. So, I guess it depends on people.

I keep Green Tea in the fridge during the Summer and spritz it on when I'm feeling droopy. For me, it's like the modern version of the Eau de Cologne that Victorian ladies used to dab on their temples when they had headaches or an attack of the vapors. It has just enough presence to give a lovely little lift without being intrusive or oppressive.

As others have pointed out, GT is not long-lasting, but few fragrances this fresh and light are. Plus, it's cheap enough that reapplying often won't break the bank.

actually I like this one very much.I know it's not something memorable or something that you would choose as your signature scent,but it's nice;fresh,sporty,non offensive and it really smells like tea.
just like a cup of green tea,this perfume would refresh your mind and soul without being snob.
unfortunately the long lasting power and sillage wasn't very good on me.

This is a very relaxing and uplifting scent. That sounds like an oxymoron but I can't think of another way to describe it. I admired this for a long time and was gifted a set which I used for a few months and then stopped. I really like it but I don't think it fits me. It's more spontaneous than I am if that makes any sense? I smelled it on the street while I was walking behind this woman on a chilly spring day and it was absolutely divine on her.

This is a very affordable fragrance. It's fresh, light, simple, quite feminine and a safe choice. Although, it doesn't last very long. I'd recommend this on sultry summer days when you wouldn't want heavy perfume knocking up your nose. My mom actually stole my first bottle and she now uses it as her everyday scent cause she's a typical stingy asian-- my 4 year old sister likes it too and commented: 'hmmm, that's very fresh and pretty'

I got a gift set from my God-mother, and I remember I loved it so much. I also remember a cashier at school wondered if I smelled green tea around. I shook my head because I totally forgot wearing perfume to school that day. She then said somebody smelled like green tea, and the smell was so lovely. I did remember after that though :). That was a nice experience.

Delectably delicious! Green Tea is a gentle summer spritz that needs to be resprayed a couple of times a day. If it was more powerful it would be even more gorgeous, but it is still a pretty summer fragrance nonetheless.

It's quite gentle, but it seems to smell more of lemon than green tea which is fine if you like lemon, otherwise if you are looking for something more green tea-like I would suggest the yves rocher green tea spray

A cup of fresh and cold green tea with lemon, very simple, refreshing, citrusy and green. On me it has a rather poor sillage and longevity, actually I wear it like a body splash after shower in summer time. Got it as a present and even though I like it, don't think I'll ever buy it, is kinda plain and somehow boring for my taste.

On a more personal note:
I had very high expectations about this fragrance, somehow I imagined it to be like one of my favorite scents: the smell of chinese green tea aromatized with jasmine... delicious, femenine, delicate floral with a green base. Too bad it wasn't like that at all. In fact I'm still looking for a fragrance that fits this particular taste of mine, so if someone reads my review and knows about a perfume alike that beautiful asian infusion, please let me know.

Green Tea starts really refreshing and real, as if you were peeling off the skin of a juice mandarin.
After about 5 minutes, it’s sweeter, in a mandarin/orangey way, which is quite soothing and aroma-therapeutic in a way that it makes me feel really awaken.

Later on, it get flatter and a bit floral-y in a green-tea-like yet not-too-tea-ish-strong way. All in a good, relaxing, refreshing way.

Green Tea is definitely a popular choice for the office, it gives me a rather optimistic feeling and as it’s quite aromatic, people tend to like it too.
Highly recommend if you want an easy daytime perfume and on a budget.

Fresh, sparkling and inoffensive. Nothing remarkable yet it's very wearable, a wonderful summer fragrance for hot weather.

A straight up fresh green tea and citrus, with a hint of mint. Mild sillage and mild lasting power.

Surprisingly beautiful and modern - and dirt cheap at places like TJMaxx and Winners!

Of all the green tea scents out there, this isn't a particularly outstanding one in my opinion. It worked a little better on my skin than the Green Tea Camellia flanker, but it's still not great. It smells a little like lemons and weak tea for a few minutes and then disappears.

A very clean, fresh aromatic scent. I've got it from a friend several years ago in a gift set and ever since I've enjoyed the invigorating smell of Green Tea. It seems like a whisper in a green garden, in the morning, in the early summer...
Now I still use skin-care products from Elizabeth Arden which give me the hint of the Green Tea aroma. I would recommend it for lovers of fresh scents. It's also quite affordable. 3.75/5

This was the first perfume I ever owned, given to me as a Christmas present from my sister.
maybe a strange choice for young girl's first perfume?
can't say I fell in love with it like I now know is possible with other fragrances.
It is a cool crisp scent. very fresh and clean.

i think i would like another bottle to take me back to those days that were so carefree and innocent!

Ouch!
Ouch!

This starts out with a whack in the face! Far too astringent and nose hair burning. It's a huge whoosh of citrus and tea with a biting sharp smell. It's overwhelming.

Having said that, if you give it a bit of time, it does turn into a somewhat interesting perfume, when I smell it close to my skin I can detect the real green elements of the blend, it smells grassy, dry and authentic. It smells different in the air though which is a shame, there is one note that is kinda ruining the overall smell it's like a very sour lemony, detergent smell. If they took that out it could before wearable.

Dryer still this perfume is bearable but only just, very distinctive. I'm trying to think of an occasion for when this would be appropriate but I can't. Maybe for a walk in the park. Definatley outside somewhere! The tea fades a bit as it dries and it becomes slightly
More flowery, still a bit pungent for my nose.

Not to bash the perfume too much but, it would be better in an oil burner or bath oil format. Sorry to all the fans of this strange juice!

I haven't had problems with longeveity but then I prefer it after 2-3 hours when it has mellowed and the intitial 'kick' has dissipated.

Less is more I think as it is an EDP concentrate and then I think you'll find you won't smell middle-aged. Any perfume can smell middle-aged when you put too much on.

Fresh, zesty, spirited.

It's a warm Summer's day and you're lying in the shade of a big lemon tree with jasmine flowers in your hair. The breeze is cool and with each breath you feel alive with the essence of nature. You sit up and sip the cup of green tea at your side. You were originally going to bring out a cold drink today (like orange juice) since it's warm weather, but you changed your mind. With each sip you appreciate life and let the gentle caress of the breeze-blown grass tickle your feet. Eventually, you stand up and wander around, seeking out the scent of your favourite carnations in your garden and rubbing the mint leaves between your fingers. The scent of the lemon tree ghosts your shirt and mingles with the taste of green tea on your tongue every time you inhale.

Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden is an affordable daytime scent for various age groups. Nothing too spectacular, it opens with a delightful burst of sharp citrus and over time becomes a soft floral with the delicate scent of green tea leaves and lingering lemon. It is crisp, clean and a little sweet, much like the breaking dawn of a Summer's day. Delicious, inoffensive and carefree.

Just thought I'd add that I recently bought this again to use as room freshener (I never like actual room sprays much) as it was so cheap in discount chemist and my mum thought it smelled like sherbet. I guess she meant lemon sherbet. Someone I think mentioned that it lasts better if you spray your clothes and I've discovered it does.

Just thought I'd add something which might help those of us who find the fragrance of Green Tea rather short lived.

I bought the gift set recently. It was only £18.95 from a fragrance website. It contained 100ml body lotion, 100ml shower gel and 100ml eau de parfumee. I've found that if I use all three products one after the other and spray the eau de parfumee into the air then walk under it so that it lands in my hair, the fragrance lasts so much longer. I wouldn't normally advise anyone to do the above with other gift sets for more intense fragrances as the result would be overpowering I think. For this fragrance however, it works.

Worth trying if you love the scent but dislike its lack of longevity.

Oh my, I have an electronic soap dispenser. I put the Lysol Green Tea and Ginger refill soap in and yes, it smells EXACTLY like Arden's Green Tea parfum. Where do scents come from? Some shampoo and soap makers should bottle their scents and sell them as parfume. And yes, jack the cost way up.

i really love this. its light and fresh and you can really smell the tea note, at first. unfortunately it dosen't last very well on my skin. in about an hr. i can barely smell anything. too bad, because i like this a lot.

A very clean an unoffensive scent, for me it's like the summer version of sunflowers. It's very pleasent, nothing special but easy to wear dayly and nice. It doesn't last too long but it's very cheap so you can spray it generosly;)

My best friend gave this to me as a present. Green tea is genuinely bottled and its aroma is invigorating.
Sadly, my body does not like it. It turns sour on me. Certainly, citrus scents are not for me.
I would recommend this on people who do not sweat a lot. Good for indoor/office wear.

I'm a bit confused.There are so many ingredients in this one,but most of them aren't noticeable.Or maybe I've lost my sense of smell.It's very weak,sweeted,lemon green tea.Nothing special IMO.
I suppose that Lemon Ice Tea has better sillage and longevity.Definitely,it's not my cup of tea.

I had this for V-Day, really like it, it's very refreshing and clean, layering it with the lotion and shower gel so it should last a good few hours.

I don't think it smells old fashioned at all. The sales assistant didn't want to sell it to my GF for some reason, probably just because of the brand i don't know but I'm glad she did buy it because it's lovely.

Like a sweet green tea with a few added extras :) nice

Absolutely uplifting. Was having a frustrating day and needed a pick-me-up, so prescribed Green Tea for myself.

The effect is like pausing for a cup of warm, lightly sweetened tea... in an open clearing of a lush ferny rainforest, by a waterfall illuminated with late afternoon sunshine of course.

I don't smell mint like many have noted, but I sense its cleansing presence. And the green tea lingers ever so purely. The sweet warmth does give the sharply bright tea and bergamot an airy Oriental feel too--a refreshingly uncommon balance.

Calming, yet positively synergistic at the same time. It's like taking that 'spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down' when you have too much to do. I reapply as needed as the effect is gone within a couple of hours. One of my most favorite.

Green tea at its very best.
As already mentioned in a lot of reviews this is an almost linear tea scent. It only changes from fresh citrus and light musk to tea with just a touch of mint. This transformation happens rather quickly and what lingers till the end is pure tea.
I don’t really detect any other notes than those already mentioned but this really doesn’t bother me as the tea note is so soothing and at the same time refreshing.
Unfortunately it’s also an extremely weak perfume that fades away very quickly.

There’s nothing really remarkable about this scent, it’s just so nice and very pleasing to the nose. I find it hard to believe that anyone would really dislike it.
This nice calming perfume is certainly my cup of tea

In 3 words: SOOTHING - VOLATILE - TEA

Not a favorite, indeed, but a must have for sure. A clean, refreshing fragrance for the hot summer days, when I personally can't stand any other perfume on my skin. (Having in mind, that I'm a succer for sweet, candy fragrances in any other season...). In this one I just love the citrus note, so cooling. And everybody around me loves it too.

I love to sniff this from the bottle. I adored it for a long time, but when I finally got my hands on it, I found I couldn't carry it very well. It didn't smell the same on me as it had on others. So, now I have a gigantic untouched bottle and a 1/2 empty mini, neither of which get much play...
On me, the lemon and rhubarb punch me in the face straight away, and it holds that sour note for a little too long. Then it opens up to the mint, the bergamot, and the florals. It just stays pretty heavy on me for a long time before it settles into the crisp freshness that I love about it (in the bottle). I still wear it, occasionally, because it does smell nice...but it's not really what I'd hoped it would be.

This is one of my most favorite scents.

It is very pleasant light and airy & always seems to lift my mood. It reminds me of a relaxing spring day where the weather is the perfect medley between warm and cool or a really nice hug. It is so soothing, comforting and refreshing yet somehow can make me feel romantic. My go to spring-summer scent.

My only disappointment is that it doesn't last. Within an hour it disappears! I wish it was more potent and long lasting :(

Green tea, white tea, any tea - great element in your perfume. This one is very fresh and clean and has a unique scent that is unforgettable - once you've discovered it you would always remember what it smells like and would recognize it on anyone who's got it on. Great for wearing to work - subtle enough.

This is by no means a life changing scent. It is exactly what it is called an iced green tea scent with lemon zest and mint and a hit of seltzer water. I do like it though. Its a non offensive perfect for an office setting or as a starter perfume for a non perfume wearer. No lasting power.

EA Green Tea has a very true tea note surrounded with more greens and some sparkling citruses; and though there are other green tea scents I like alot more, you have to give the old girl credit-this is very refreshing and very well done...

This list of notes blew me away when I first read it...How can so many notes smell so "linear" and simple? The mint, sure and the citruses, definitely! But rhubarb? I detect nothing even slightly sour or vegtal; at least at first. The GT Intense is my favorite; and it has fewer notes than this does (just more of each of them, I guess!). The heart does have a slight floral scent, and the moss I can clearly detect (though more at the end). Carnations are dry and slightly sharp...this is smooth and lush-so they must just fill in the gaps, or extend the scent beyond its drying...The drydown (as one member already said) really shines long after applying it. The celery seeds are very green and also aromatic and make this even greener, but still light and fresh. Cloves and caraway, add a subtle warmth and delightful hint of spices and the green tea-it is so very genuine that I would like to drink this (if it weren't for the SD Alcohol 40-B!). I do not really get the oriental feel of amber, or that much musk; what is more oriental than green tea? This is much more than only green tea and a very savory scent reminiscient of late spring or summer...

Sillage: close then fair
Longevity: interesting...
Overall: 3/5

There are many other green tea scents I like better (Bvlgari's Eau parfumee au The Verte Extreme', for example) but, this is the only one that is as complex in its simplicity and still utterly charming, yet does not try to be anything other than what it really is...delicious!

I tried this scent on my arm while in a store. I honestly didn't (and don't) like it when I first put it on. I smelled too much of the "tea" scent. BUT after it had been on for awhile... the smell was AMAZING. I kept trying to figure out what I was smelling that smelled so good. I finally figured out it was the perfume I had sprayed hours earlier. I went back the next morning and bought it!

On my skin It wasn't citrusy, I felt a linear arome, green tea with a hint of mint and a bit sweet.

Refreshing, yet not very common even with this simplicity. I wouldn't use it in any special occasion, I don't know why but it doesn't make me feel remarkable, but it's very light, soft and nothing crispy, at least on me.
It's very worthy for the price, smell clean and nothing cheap.

Maybe it would go great in a very hot day, when you can't put anything stronger that you'd have a headache.

I just bought this from TJMAXX because I got a 3.3 oz bottle of it for 15 bucks and figured green tea might be a good scent for the blistering weather of south florida.

it is for SURE a green tea scent. I could smell the tea from top to bottom, but it was cut with lemons and mint. I didnt really catch any of the floral notes listed.

This is a refreshing scent for sure and while I wouldnt swoon over it I can see myself reaching for it when I am just having a lazy day or running around town in the blistering heat.

This is a great summer scent--not too light or sweet, not too citrusy, doesn't sour when you sweat. It's refreshing and cooling and I break this baby out on the 90 degree days of summer and I don't want to wear something overwhelming. The only problem is that it doesn't last long, but it's so inexpensive that you don't feel bad re-applying.

It could be for any age group. Sometimes a simple, light fragrance like Green Tea IS favored by ladies over 65 and you might see them buying this at the Elizabeth Arden counter .
However, that doesn't mean the rest of us can't wear it and enjoy it. It's a good summer scent that doesn't smell like skank in the heat.

I really shouldn't have read some of those comments down there.. I read few saying it smells like "granny" and I cant seem to get that out of my brain. Instead of feeling refreshed and minty like I used to, I keep on picturing my grandma- Which is a very pleasant thought but which of course isn't me (early 20s). Although it is a scent my male coworkers commented it to be a "pretty scent" and asked to spray it on another male coworker's shirt as a prank. Someone please tell me this is not a grandma scent!!!:((((

This is a good July fragrance when it's just too hot for a real perfume. No, it doesn't last too long but it doesn't ferment on you during the day either. It just smells like tea with a little this and that mixed in and no heavy notes .
A spray after your morning shower is nice on a hot summer day. It fades by the time the temp is 100 in the afternoon. This might be good for someone who doesn't care for real heavy perfume. Also the price is not that bad compared to other fragrances.

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.

One of my staples. You can't go wrong with this one. On a hot summer day, nothing is more refreshing than this unobtrusive scent of freshness. Tart at first, it calms down to a lovely young and fresh whiff of - you guessed it, green tea.

I use it all the time and gave it as present to my mother. You have to know my mother hates perfume and never uses it. But when I wore Green Tea, she said: oh that's lovely! this is a perfume even I would like to have! So I brought her a bottle when I visited her next time. Don't know whether she really uses it ;-) but hey, it charmed my mother!

It is not a perfume to turn peoples' heads. It's a scent that makes people want to be in your presence because it's so fresh and lovely. Like a cool freshly laundered and pressed linen dress that exudes impeccable freshness when everybody else is sweaty and sticky.

I live in a hot climate so this is ideal for me. In a cooler climate or winter? Not so much.

My mom got this as a gift 6 years ago but she didn't like it and she knew I wanted it so she gave it to me. I had this when I used to work in a province where the weather is cold, and there are plants and trees everywhere. I liked wearing it there 'coz it made me feel like one with nature. Now that I work in the city where it's hot and humid, I really miss this perfume, especially when I want to feel fresh and like as if I am in a garden.

at the first time i smelled it tremendous freshness blasted into my nose! well.. slowly the real citrus and sweet thing started invading my nose.. wow! a great experience must say! well according to me its great for summer due to its freshness, all the other components like tea, amber clove etc. are mixed in correct proportions that enhances the smell!!. the only thing i dint like is that it only stays for 2-3hours :(

Most of all I feel the green tea note and the lemon note in this fragrance. Light and fresh, but sweet enough. The green tea note is one of my unfavorite notes, especially I don't like green tea with sweetness. That is why I don't like this fragrance. But my mom likes to use it sometimes as a summer fragrance. Luckily for me her bottle of it is almost empty:)

I bought Green Tea a long time ago & after wearing it once, it sat in the cupboard unused for years. I had started to collect more fragrances & it was left behind.

One day, I was feeling pretty awful & wanted to wear perfume to cheer myself up.

I decided Green Tea might be something soft & not too strong (hopefully it wouldn't add to my headache). I found that it made me feel a bit better!

Since then, I still don't use it a lot however I use Green Tea when I'm feeling sick, or down. I guess it's a little like aromatherapy. It helps me feel a bit better & lifts my mood.

People can be rude!!! One person even said it's a scent for old ladies and it really doesn't suit me. He tried to be pleasant but either way I felt bad and rushed home to wash it off.

I had one insult the first time I wore it followed by 2 insults the second time...this was enough and I never wore it again.

But it really was not my type of fragrance anyway...I like floral citrus

This was the first perfume I ever purchased (in one of the shockingly inexpensive gift sets you can find after the holidays).

I find this to be a sweet, young refreshing scent. It isn't terribly deep or sophisticated - but at age 20, it felt completely appropriate to wear. I still really like it during hot and sticky summer weather. I highly recommend getting the mini bottle for travel as well. You can take it through airport security!

There are two perfumes I've always had on hand since Sophomore year in High School, one is Chanel N5, the other is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. This scent never disappoints and, when I'm looking for a refreshing light aura, I reach for this. This is another perfume that I class more in the area of a body mist as I generally spray it on my clothes or in my hair to maximize its longevity and as it is rather economical in comparison to many scents. This is citrus without the sour and clean without the acidic migraine. The sweetness of it makes it more attractive than some of its citrus brethren as it balances perfectly on the scale between sweet and tart. The green tea note is highlighted by this balance of the scales as everyone who has ever let a cup of hot green tea waft to their nostrils, that green tea is a balance of bitter and spicy. Therefore, this scent runs the gambit, covering bitter to sweet to sour to salty- balancing each in-turn and reflecting fresh sunlit warmth. It is tangy enough to have personality without whacking you over the head with it.

I bought a set: set of 2 @30ml each, one for my mother as a gift and one for myself.

My mom never buys perfume and isn't into makeup so when I see that she's used even half the bottle, I consider this a feat in itself. It's pretty, pleasant, uplifting, and uncomplicated. It's very safe and inoffensive. The scent has ok longevity if you buy a new bottle that hasn't been sitting on a retail shelf too long. If you're an unlucky buyer who inadvertently bought old stock, the scent will not last!

I noticed that Arden Beauty have different versions of this scent and I would like to try them. Who knows, maybe the longevity of the scent might be improved in these flankers? On the flipside, even if you spray copious amounts of the frag on skin, it never gets overbearing and it always stays pleasant. And I do mean always.

I used to own a 1oz bottle with some few drops left there that I wasn't using at all.I did like this fragrance,but I felt like it didn't match my mood in order to wear it.Once,my mother came to my house and had the chance to smell it.She liked it by an instant!She was so surprised by the smell and didn't understand why I wasn't using it.
I immediatly ordered a 3.4 oz bottle for her,she is using it everyday,being absolutely in love with this.
Someone here stated that he/she didn't felt the mint note.I have to disagree with that.You can definetly feel the mint in the top notes.Too bad that the citrusy smell is so powerfull,that the mint one fades away quickly.
In conclusion,Green Tea is a fragrance that can be worn by people of any age and probably would match all tastes,as I have a lot of friends that are in love with it.
I am honestly thinking of ordering a second 3.4 oz bottle for myself now :)

Several friends of mine recommended Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden as a perfume you can give to anyone and please them. I took their advice and got a gift set for my girlfriend. The set contained a sample mini which I tried for myself.

I sprayed a first spritz from a new bottle on my hand... and got scared of a synthetic citrusy smell. Oh no, I thought, oh no.

But in a moment the synthetic smell was gone, and I started smelling some sweet and natural citrus. Candied orange peel. No mint, and I was a little disappointed by that since I was really looking forward to that note. I was still not sure that I like the smell, but it started to develop. After candied orange peel I started to smell something more herbal. My husband described it as green tea with jasmine. There's also a very faint amber note and a certain warmth in the smell, and I suspect that this is the way I experience musk.

The perfume doesn't seem to stay forever, and it runs its cycle from the top to the base pretty fast on me, and it can be a disappointment...

... but I can envision myself in a perfume free work environment, wearing this scent close to my skin as if it was my intimate secret, getting outside with a full bottle in my purse to renew it, enjoy the brief candied peel start and get back in several minutes when the scent gets into its subdued grown up self.

But for now I'll have a mini, I work from home anyway.

I think I was one of the first ones who bought this scent many many years ago. The thing is - DID ANYONE NOTICE?? - that E.Arden must have changed the scent of this perfume. It was one of my alltime favorite scents, and now I hate it because they changed the ingredients. It smells like cheap citrus cleaning detergent. I just sold my two full (!) bottles on the internet. I don't understand why they stopped producing the original Green Tea from 10 (?) years ago. What a shame.

Citrus aromatic is one of my all time favourite groups, and this one is no exception. I'm actually surprised to see there is rhubarb in the notes, because I detest it!, but thankfully I don't notice it. I guess the good combination of all the citruses, herbs and flowers make it in the end a well balanced perfume. I find it to be a really refreshing and clean summer fragrance. I agree the lasting power could be a bit better, but at that price who is worried about reaplying it? The matching bath & body line are worth trying, they are really good.

I don't know why anyone would wear this. And believe me I have tried. Flat.. no depth and very sour. Not in a good way. A bitter sour! And the lasting power is zero. You might as well spray your self with 4711 and you will smell better too.
Wasn't for me. I need more spice, more woods and more greens+tiny bit of sweetness.

Starts out as a dry tea scent that very nearly duplicates green tea, but it fades into a strong jasmine floral with mint notes. Whatever tea notes it had at the start are overpowered by the white floral body. It's pretty, but it's nothing like green tea in the end.

I love anything to do with Green Tea , Its a fresh, leafy, citrusy. What I like best about is ..that this perfume is simple. Its not complex like other scents. It doesnt change lot on skin, though it doesnt last long at all. Its really mild and good change other scents. I love wearing it on hot day. Rarely other ppl can smell it off me, but I love the smell . Wish I can get Hand on hand cream. Do give it a try, & its good everyday smell and Its really affordable .... :)

One of the best. It will not offend anyone, and it smells nice and fresh, and kind of sweet. I definitely loved it. Green tea lotion when applied smells even better. I like better lotion that the actual fragrance. It's lovely.

Although the lasting power sucks this is a very nice scent.I smelled a green tea candle the other day that reminded me of this and I want a bottle now but I already know that lightweight it is a waste of money because it is like a body spray!

This is another one of my Grandmas fragrances. It smells really nice actually very fresh and clean and it really reminds me of Grandma in so many ways. I tried it on myself and it was very mild and quiet soft. I think it's totally okay to be honest.

I don`t like it and I cannot fully understand why.It has some metallic note that I dislike on myself and the others.

I wore this fragrance a couple of years ago when I was younger. It's a light scent and I get alot of the mint, orange peel and lemon in the top notes. That's pretty much most of what I smell. While it was a pleasant fragrance, I probably won't purchase it again. It sort of lost its appeal as I aged. My tastes in perfume have changed alot since I first bought green tea. I think its a good scent to wear in the summer.

Mmm mmmm mmmm Green Tea ! I wore this some years ago and had forgotten all about it until I had a rather generous squirt in the drugstore today.

God it's good! The complete antithesis of the complex, warm oriental spice scents that I usually favour. It's wonderfully crisp and clean, just perfect for a sweltering summer's day. At the risk of sounding like a panty-liner advertisement it really does give you that shower-fresh feeling !

It's not complicated, for me it doesn't develop through the head, heart and base notes. It really is like a cup of green tea. I get a little bit of bitter-sweet rhubarby-caraway and maybe a teeny trace of sweet honeyed jasmine, but it's much simpler than the listed notes suggest. Those of you in the UK may remember a sparkling herbal non - alcoholic drink called Aqua Libra, and this is it in fragrance form.

This is like a jug of iced Pimm's and lemonade, with slices of cucumber, lemon and sprigs of mint bobbling about on top.

Green Tea is a simple pleasure, as the best things in life often are. Bravo Elizabeth Arden !

From time to time, I still use it! Very fresh & clean scent!

This fragrance is fresh; light; pleasant and refreshing scent. But sad to sad, this fragrance is not very distincting and lasting power on me is almost nil. I agree with Montie_M. The holding power is very weak hence i've got to keep a full bottle in my bag. It is silly to carry a full bottle of it everywhere.=(

Definitely one of my favorites for the summer. Fresh and citrussy. Some people here say it doesn't last ... well I can't agree on that. I can even smell it myself after a couple of hours.

I was just really disappointed with my last Green Tea purchase. For some reason the last bottle smelled really different than the other ones I've had so far, even though it was the exact same bottle. Not sure if they changed some of the original ingredients. I liked the former version a lot better.

Who is looking for a light summer scent, she can try this one. It is simple, but refreshing. Not lasting enough, you need use it several times a day. Green tones with citrus dominating.

Lovely, soothing,subtle smell. A combination of tea, herbal and flower notes. Ideal for summer (although I can see my self using all my 1 oz bottle up before summer)! I just wish it had more lasting power...

One of my all time faves..Right at the top with Clinique happy and DOlce and Gabbana. It smells so clean, invigorating, and fresh! one of the few scents that don't give me an asthma attack or triggers my allergic rhinosinusitis. :)

All (positive) comments here are true. I have nothing to add.
But the lasting power only 2 hours - while the price/vol is so low, and 10ml/0.33 oz spray is so nice and comfortable, that You can bear it all day with you.
By the way, when you americans finally switch to normal metric system ?

I have tried this scent several different times and still I get nothing. It is clean smelling and fresh, but just not to fall in love with. It came with a set of minis I bought and have to say, green tea will never be worn and I'll probably give it away.

This perfume was one of my gateway scents between my light bodyspray-only days and now. It is a watery, refreshing scent- kind of a lighter, less intense L'eau d'Issey (which I absolutely love because it IS intense). It's only drawback is its fleeting nature- it simply does not have any staying power on me whatsoever. What a shame.

I spritzed this on in the store today and thought it was a very nice and unique scent, but I wasn't sure I wanted to smell like minty green tea, so I went along my way to sample other perfumes and ended up deciding to pass on buying it. It turns out it was a wise choice for me because 20 mins after applying it on my wrist the scent vanished entirely.

To me, the scent is very crisp and fresh. Luved 2 spray it on after showering. I extremely luved the cream/lotion 4 it as well. Just applied it and I didn't need 2 use the perfume. It's like an "everyday" "anywhere" type scent....

I believe it's one of the best perfume around, esp for tropical weather. It's sweet but not that sweet, sharp but fresh, a mix of true tea scent and mint. However, it turned into beautiful jasmine and sexy musk later on.
Unfortunately, it really doesn't last long, only 2 hrs then it wears off. Thus, I always bring full bottle EVERYWHERE (I must look silly, then).

The good thing is the fresh aroma is suitable for both hot & raining season. And, surely it can cover almost any other unwanted smell (weird food aroma, polluted street, sweat :-)).

It is best used during summer holiday.

I used to love this, but found it later to be too sweet in it's scent.
I have switched to Elizabeth Arden's After Five and Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise and like both enormously for everyday wear.
My boyfriend likes the scent of Beyond Paradise on me.

I wear this perfume for college or everyday wear. As others have commented it does not last very long. I have not tried layering it with a matching mosturiser, maybe this would help. I love the clean fresh beginning and it uplifts me if I feel down.

This is my very 1st perfume!It's fresh ,easy to use and safe for every one.But it doesn't last long.I like the smell ,but right now,there have a lot of "fresh-smell" perfume in the market,so this green tea is too plain for me.Maybe it's because of my chemistry,I think an opening is a little bit too sharp.

This is a summer perfume. It is fresh and citrusy, great for those high heat days in the city, or great for travel. It is a scent I would use on a plane, as it is not heavy or oriental. Daytime also.
