by Elizabeth Arden
Elizabeth Arden's White Tea is a clean, crisp, and softly feminine fragrance that evokes the sensation of fresh linen, a tranquil spa, or a quiet coastal retreat. It opens with a luminous blend of mandarin orange, clary sage, and fern, creating a dewy, aromatic breeze that feels both refreshing and discreet. The heart reveals a delicate balance of white tea, iris, and mate, lending a dry, powdery, and slightly herbal authenticity. The drydown settles into a warm, airy foundation of musk, ambrette, tonka bean, and subtle woody notes, giving it a quietly elegant and intimate character. While the projection is moderate and the longevity is moderate to short on most skin types—especially noticeable with large amounts of spray—it lingers pleasantly on fabrics, and its softness means it never feels intrusive. It’s ideal for daytime wear, office settings, or warm weather, where its cooling, clean qualities are highly appreciated. It feels unisex in style, with a subtle sillage that exists more as a soft presence than a bold claim. The fragrance is best appreciated on those who enjoy clean, linear, and well-balanced scents—those who value substance without pretension, and who seek a fragrance that feels like a calm, effortless moment between duties.
