Get Sprayed By Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume

by:Kminer

Mainly a "Bath & Body Works" smell kind of gal, I had to admit that by age 29 I wanted to, at times, smell a little more "sophisticated", a little more grown up and womanly. Not being sure exactly what I wanted in that regard a took to smelling a lot of women's perfumes - both at counters and at the homes of people I knew. I knew that I did not like very florally scents, nor did I care for strong and musky type scents. Little by little I started selecting a small collection of perfumes to for my own personal use.

So How Did I Find Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume?

In a gift for someone else. My mother enjoys green tea scents, though she has yet to really buy herself any perfumes of that scent. She really enjoys using perfumes and gets a yearly collection of Estee Lauder perfumes as a gift for herself every Christmas. When searching this past holiday season for a perfume for my mom, something I knew that she would not buy for herself, the Green Tea perfume display at the Elizabeth Arden counter at the mall showed us to have all that we'd ever need. Not only were there Green Tea perfumes, but an assortment of related scented lotions, creams, bath salts, and shower gels. for $40.00 we purchased a 4 piece gift set, complete with a small Green Tea Spray .

I noticed in the store, while trying out the scent on my arm, that I found this scent instantly pleasing. Additionally, when she actually opened up the gift set to use, I got to sample many of the products, including the spray, and I was hooked.

How Does One Describe Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume?

The packaging is a nice looking glass bottle, like a slightly rounded rectangle. The bottle is a light green color, and still allows you to see the perfume inside so you know how much is remaining. It is decorated with a darker green leaf imprint on the front. The cap is a darker green and plastic. Once the cap is removed a push down spray nozzle remains to allow the product to easily come out.

I have never been one to be uniquely creative in describing a scent to someone. I can tell you is is a light smell, and pleasing, and lasts on my skin all day. It never smells overpowering (like you walk into the room and are blown away by the scent) - it's more when someone is standing next to me that I get asked what I am wearing.

More Thoughts On This Pleasing Scent

I do feel that this Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume is a pleasant addition to my small perfume collection. It is moderately priced (for me) at around $20 -$35 (depending on where you purchase it) for the 3.3 oz size (there are smaller and larger sizes that can be purchased, including a purse size spray). This price is close to the other perfume that I own, Clinique Happy. The scent is light and it has worked well over other lightly scented bath products I use. Typically, I have used shower and lotion products from Clinique with this Elizabeth Arden perfume, as the Clinique scents are fairly mild also (Cool Lustre body lotion, for example).

I also want to note that other companies make Green Tea scents, and it is quite common to find that these smell differently. Some smell more like the actual "tea" that brews (I'd say that The Healing Garden Green Tea line falls more in this area) - the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume does have some of the characteristic green tea perfume to it, but more so (I'd say at least) the other notes listed in this perfume. If you are looking for a true "I want to smell like the actual tea brewing" scent, this may not be the one for you. Additionally, Elizabeth Arden now also makes a "spiced" Green Tea scent, though I have yet to sample it.

I do purchase my perfumes directly from the counter, and do not rely on on-line stores for these type of purchases - though I am realizing that you can often save money by looking at the on-line perfume stores for prices. Often the on-line stores show "sales" prices, where every time I've been to the counter the perfume there is at a set price.

I do recommend the lightly scented Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume to anyone wanting a light, refreshing scent for these mild spring to summer days.
