This could actually be an interesting flanker
You never know
i like Green Tea. i always equate it to Green tea lemonade, but as a perfume.
Hey, good way to put it.
I don’t think I’ve tried any of these, but green tea and honeysuckle notes sound appealing to me in this moment. Less sure about the boysenberry and musk, though!
It’s more appealing to me than last year’s cherry blossom.
I’ve yet to find a cherry blossom scent that did anything for me.
Cherry blossom perfumes, or perfume attempts, always have that generic Red Candy smell (if that makes any sense).
Most give me headaches.
I smelled the Green Tea Honeysuckle this past Saturday, and found it very pretty and light, and also nothing groundbreaking. If, like me, you don’t enjoy traditional colognes and would rather wear a very light floral in summer’s heat, this one would probably do the trick for you very nicely. (After all, nobody complains about colognes not being innovative.) It’s inexpensive, it’s very floral, it doesn’t smell sugary or dumb, and it is to my mind much nicer than the original Green Tea.
That said, I’m probably not going to buy it. I’m stocked up on my light summer florals.
Excellent to know, thanks!
Is it as nice as Demeter’s Honeysuckle? It *has* to be more long lasting — anything would be!
I really like the Green Tea Lavender for summer. It’s light and completely un-sweet.
This sounds like something I may like. If I do, I will wait until a GWP event to do so.
This sounds as if it would be worth a try – I like tea scents and adore honeysuckle. The others in this line, however, have not been “me.”
Love the Green Tea series — most by well known noses, like Flores-Roux and Calice Becker … anyone know who developed GT Honeysuckle?
Sorry, no, not Calice Becker. I rechecked and here are the noses I could find for Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Series
1999 Green Tea, 2000 Iced Green Tea, and 2001 Spiced Green Tea were all by Francis Kurkdjian.
2005 Green Tea Summer, 2009 GT Exotic, 2008 GT Lotus and 2007 GT Tropical were all by Rodriqo Flores-Roux. 2006 GT Intense and 2007 GT Revitalize were by R. Flores-Roux and Claude Dir.
I couldn’t find any info on the noses for GT Lavender 2010, which is my hot day, sleepless night favorite, or GT Camillia 2011, or 2012 GT Cherry Blossom.
In my opinion they are all good summer ‘office scents’ pleasant, fresh, but not overwhelming in any way. They always bring them out in the spring.
I will happily pick this up when it hits Ross and goes for $15.
I’ve found most of the Elizabeth Ardens on sale at both TJ Maxx and Marshalls about a year after release. They have been good blind buys for me (except for Red Door which was way too pungent on my skin) and they have been appreciated gifts to people. Somehow EA seems to hit that ‘non-offensive’ and ‘pleasant enough’ range as a giftable to non-perfumistas.
I will sample this if I get the chance. I quite liked this scent in my younger years, though never had it, and this flanker sounds quite nice. Honeysuckle is one of my favourite smells in nature, there is a small park in front of our estate and it’s full of it. on early summer nights the scent wafting upwards to the loggia is utter bliss. I’d like to have it even just as a room spray!
The bottles are hideous though:(.
Yes, the bottles are all the same utilitarian shape, they differ only in a narrow range of pastel graphics. Quality of the spritzer nozzle has gone down since the first came out in 1999. Wow, almost 24 years for this line.
Typo — 12 years, not 24.
Why not!
I like Green Tea. A cute boy I used to date said it smelled “fresh”. So there ya go!
