by Elizabeth Arden
Green Tea Fig by Elizabeth Arden is a fresh, green, and fig-forward fragrance that captures the essence of a ripe fig tree in full bloom. It opens with bright citrus notes—bergamot, citron, and clementine—giving an airy, juicy start that evokes a sunlit summer garden. The fig note is prominent and real, not sugary or synthetic; it's crisp, slightly tart, and grounded by green leafy elements like fig leaf, violet leaf, and ivy. The green tea note provides balance, adding depth without overshadowing the fig, while pistachio and tonka bean contribute a subtle creaminess and nutty warmth. The composition remains clean and natural, with herbal, slightly woody drydowns from clary sage and musk. Performance is moderate, with most users noting about four to eight hours of wear on skin, best extended by spritzing on clothing. It's ideal for spring and summer, with a moderate sillage that stays close to the body, making it perfect for warm days, long walks, or casual wear. The scent is unisex and minimalist—offering a simple, refreshing harmony of green, sweet, and earthy elements that feels like walking through a humid greenhouse or picking figs from a tree.
