by Elizabeth Arden
Green Tea Exotic by Elizabeth Arden offers a delicate and translucent floral-green aesthetic, evoking a fresh, sunny morning with notes of bergamot, lime, and green tea. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus-woodsy shimmer, quickly transitioning into a clear, luminous center of white flowers—jasmine, lily, and orchid—suggesting a quiet spring garden. The base reveals a soft, warm amber and woodsy depth, tempered by a faint narcissus and a lingering trace of tea, creating a balanced, unobtrusive character. Many users describe it as inherently natural, with a dainty quality that feels more like an impression than a statement. It suits warm, clear days and is particularly well regarded in summer, though its longevity is consistently reported as weak or moderate. While some find it enchanting and deeply personal—comparing it to vintage elegance or a fleeting moment of Zen—others find it unremarkable or overly veiled, with minimal sillage and a tendency to fade quickly.
