Green Tea
by Elizabeth Arden
Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea is a universally appealing, light-bodied fragrance that captures the essence of fresh summer days. It delivers an immediate burst of citruses, mint, and green tea, with a crisp, invigorating opening that evolves into a delicate, herbal-sweet drydown. The scent is clean and airy, making it ideal for warm weather, and well-suited for daywear, travel, or post-shower refreshment. It’s widely appreciated for its accessible and non-intrusive nature — gentle enough to wear around others without causing discomfort, making it a standard choice for offices, casual outings, or sensitive environments. Despite its limited sillage and fleeting presence on the skin, its uncomplicated elegance, affordability, and nostalgic appeal have cemented its status as a classic. While some find it too simple or acidic, others treasure it as a comforting, timeless air of freshness that feels like walking through a cool garden or sipping a perfect iced green tea.
