Green Tea Intense Elizabeth Arden for women

Interesting that another reviewer called this masculine ... can see parallels with hubby's EDT spray ...
I love Green Tea, the original and this has the staying power the original lacks, however it's a bit too intense for me, prefer something lighter and more feminine.

Don't be deceived by this perfume... when you spray it on ... wait for a ten minutes and then smell it, just gorgeous, fresh and clean smelling and at a fabulous price. So if you want to smell like you have just stepped out of a shower, then this is the one!

Quite a bit different from most green tea scents, this one has a decidedly more masculine feel to it and reminds me of a fresher, softer Halston 1-12 (and they wear together very well). I had 1-12 on when I first tested this on my skin at the EA counter, and it is very nice...

The tea notes are there from start to finish, but this has more longevity and prescence to it, being an EDP. The addition of mint and lemon gives it a twist of citrus and a garnish of sharper green. The oakmoss makes the base more airy and forest-like while musk adds to the overall 'thickness' of the composition.

I can see why some women might be turned off by this and find it too brusque. It lasted longer than 5 hours on my skin and I think it is a good scent for a anyone who likes strong fresh scents and wants something less classic than, say 1-12 or Quorum, and less sophisticated than Eau Parfumee au The Vert Extreme by Bvlgari (with it's juicy orange and sensual spiced rose). This has some floralcy to it but only in a supporting role. All in all a nice (should have been released as) unisex scent for good price; that lasts!

Sillage: above average
Longevity: very good
Overall: 3.5/5

This is like a glass of iced green tea with lemon and a sprig of fresh mint, sipped on a hot day in the shade of a giant oak tree that's overgrown with moss. Cooling, refreshing and satisfying. No one has complained yet and I've sampled it more than 10 times and applied it freely...this is on my short list of new scents to acquire (and not go into debt)... :-)>

I had this one but returned it because the lasting power is no different from regular green tea. And it smells the same maybe a tad bit stronger but I was put off by the dark green color and the old fashioned bottle,not attractive!

I'm not too crazy for this version of Eizabeth's Arden's Green Tea. Dpn't like the mint lemon notes in it. I gave mine to a friend who likes this type of fragrance. I like her first Green Tea Scent,much better in my opinion
