But today we will not "taste" the drink, but the perfumery products from the famous American company Elizabeth Arden. Green tea for their aromas was used not only by specialists of this fashion house. Let’s recall the cologne “The Werth” from “Yves Rocher”. But if the latter production is more straightforward, then the perfume from "Elizabeth Arden" will please with numerous nuances and a game of shades. Let's look at what the manufacturer and reviews say about the Green Tea line.
Healing properties
This product has long been considered an elixir of health in China. The healing properties of non-fermented (remaining green) tea bush leaves are difficult to overestimate.

In the lineup there is also a body cream with honey drops.
Classic Perfume "Green Tea" by "Elizabeth Arden"
Before we talk about the latest in the perfumery market, let's get acquainted with the initial sample. These perfumes for women, released in 1999 from the hands of Francis Kurkjian, are called unpretentiously: "Green T". But their smell is not simple. Green tea is felt there and even plays the first violin. But it is complemented by a whole "orchestra" of aromas. The perfume pyramid is crowned with rhubarb with mint and orange zest. This fresh trio is complemented by lemon and bergamot. The note of the heart is revealed by jasmine, the sharpness of which is softened by cloves, warm spices, fennel, oak moss and ambergris. In fact, green tea appears at the very end. But his “voice” at the finish is so powerful that it justifies the name of the perfume. The astringency of green tea is surrounded by the aromas of celery, musk, moss and cloves. Spirits envelop a light, unobtrusive veil, giving a sense of purity and freshness. Classic Perfume by Elizabeth Arden. Green Tea ”has become a favorite of many women. Therefore, the fashion house took it as a model for the development of new fragrances.
Camellia Green Tea
A pale blue box with white flowers appeared on the market in 2011. Aroma "Elizabeth Arden. Green tea. Camellia ”is revealed in almost the same way as the classic version. The only, too sharp bergamot was replaced by sweet yuzu. Classics of the genre are categorized as aromatic citrus, and this fragrance undoubtedly belongs to floral scents. His heart is a fragrant bouquet. Camellia intertwined in it (it slightly dominates the rest of the flowers), peony, jasmine, orange blossom, magnolia, clove, plum. And above all this is the delicate aroma of green tea. To make the smell not too weightless, the creators “weighted” it with woody and spicy bases. In the train you can hear warm spices, birch, oak moss, ambergris and musk.
Eau de toilette “Elizabeth Arden. Green tea. Bamboo"
In 2014, perfumers at home got the idea to create a scent with woody notes. Since the birthplace of green tea is China, it was decided to combine the aroma of the drink with the freshness and coolness of oriental bamboo thickets. As in the classic sample, the perfume pyramid opens with a citrus cocktail. But here lemon, grapefruit and bergamot are complemented by exquisite bamboo chords with notes of galbanum and tamarind. The heart of the fragrance is literally filled with green tea. But fresh cucumber, leaves of syringes and violets do not give “plain cologne” to eau de toilette. Tea mate, iris root and mastic wood notes close the pyramid of smells. Refinement of all perfumery composition gives tenderness of precious musk. “Elizabeth Arden. Green tea. Bamboo "reviews called a very persistent aroma for the concentration of eau de toilette. Women say that it gives freshness, a feeling of shady bamboo woods after a summer rain.
Green Tea and Cherry Blossom
This eau de parfum was launched in 2012. Its rather complex aroma can be attributed to floral-woody-musky. The perfumery composition is revealed all with the same, which became a classic, citrus notes. Overture is played by tangerine, lemon and bergamot. The straightness and pungency of citrus fruits is softened by sweet almonds and petitgrain. Green tea is felt from the first notes and continues to sound in the heart of the aroma. It is complemented by cherry blossom, which disputes his dominance. Muffled complement these two aromas of peony, apricot and plum. The Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume with cherry blossoms has a wood base, which includes birch and oak moss. So that the train does not seem masculine, they give it a tenderness and pretentiousness with a white lily and heliotrope. A pink box with a bottle of the same color is very popular among lovers of sweet aromas.
Green tea and cucumber
This new product last year was created for a very hot summer day. Eau de toilette “Elizabeth Arden. Green Tea and Cucumber ”is simply woven from various kinds of fresheners. In addition to the two main ingredients indicated in the title, juicy watermelon sounds dominant in the aroma. It manifests itself in middle notes, and in the initial notes the owner is waiting for a refreshing citrus cocktail. French violet evokes associations with a shady garden, barely awake after a night rain. The composition is filigree framed by base notes in which ambergris and ambrette are guessed. Reviews claim that this fragrance from Elizabeth Arden is very persistent, despite the concentration of eau de toilette. But at the same time, he is not at all obsessive. Wonderfully refreshes the hostess, and gives others a feeling of cool breeze.
Exotic drink
A box of light shade of a sea wave with flowers of bindweed and a lilac bottle immediately attracted the attention of connoisseurs of products from the house of "Elizabeth Arden". This fragrance, which, as its name says ("Green Tee Exotic"), belongs to the group of oriental aromatic, was released in 2009. Its creator was the famous perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Ruiz. The master used two types of tea in his composition at once . Black sounds in the top notes, playing the role of the first violin in a trio with bergamot and lime.

Yuzu gives a feeling of freshness and purity, he cheers up his possessor and her associates. Green tea only enhances this property of Japanese orange. The initial notes reveal the aroma of the zest of this citrus. Its intense astringency, coupled with bergamot and lemon juice, is balanced by green tea and petitgrain leaves.
