by Elizabeth Arden
Green Tea Lavender by Elizabeth Arden is a light, refreshing fragrance with a green tea and lavender core, designed for casual, everyday wear. It opens with crisp citrus (lemon, mandarin), chamomile, mint, and a soft lavender note that evolves into a more subtle, aromatic green tea and musky base. The scent is easy to wear, unisex-leaning, and feels more like a spa-like body mist than a traditional perfume. It lacks strong sillage and lasts moderately on the skin—most users report it as short-lived, though some find moderate longevity. The lavender is generally understated, not overpoweringly floral or medicinal, and more herbaceous and aromatic than typical lavender scents. It shares similarities with iconic 90s fragrances like CK Be and Gap Dream, blending clean, fresh, and slightly astringent notes into a comforting, reassuring scent that works well in warm weather and for sensitive environments like offices or spas. Its affordability and travel-friendly bottle make it a practical choice for reapplication or as a personal care product. While some appreciate its simplicity and calming nature, others find it generic, fleeting, or less impactful than the original Green Tea. It’s ideal for those seeking a subtle, non-attendant, unisex scent for relaxation, post-shower use, or light layering.
