Elizabeth Arden Green Tea

Tried this for the first time the other day, whilst browsing in duty free, and thought it was lovely. Does anybody wear it? I wondered if it might be a bit 'old lady-esque' not that I care particularly about that. But is it a summer scent, and would it be wrong for Autumn? Am I over-thinking this? Grin

I love it (and I don't have blue rinse or lisle stockings anywhere about my person!!).
And I wear it all year round - it's quite a light fragrance. no musk or sandalwood type stuff, and I don't feel wrong in it even in the depths of winter. Or possibly I have no sense of smell Grin

Thank you. It is lovely - think I'll get a bottle. :)

I like it, too; it's a much more stylish fragrance than the price tag suggests. Summer use only, no old lady characteristics here. Your nose will tell you if you want to abandon it when the nights draw in (and it lasts very well if unused over winter)! Smile

They had it in TK Maxx the other day. I've had it in the past and it smells lovely, but lasts no time at all on me.

I love it loads. Really fresh and zesty.

ThereIsTooMuchConfusion · 11/08/2015 19:57

I love it, and have been wearing it on and off since I was a teen

I love it - and the green tea honey drops body cream they do is the best moisturiser in the world!

I used to wear it and re-smelt it the other day. still really like it.

I've got Green Tea Intense. I wear it when I'm doing sport, or the weather is very, very hot and humid.

I like it, it's very fresh, can be a bit ozoney though on first application. Dries down nicely though and has good longevity.

It's not going to give you a headache on a hot day.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/08/2015 21:39

Thanks. Will look in TK Maxx for a potential bargain!

I think it's a classic that will never date and it's cheap as chips too.

ShuShuFontana · 15/08/2015 18:51

I used to use this....loved it...felt it was a bit more grown up than O de Lancôme.

AmelieinOz · 16/08/2015 06:52

It's the only one I wear. Light and refreshing.

I bought Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu too recently.

AnaisB · 16/08/2015 11:34

I have always loved this. I bought the jasmine one in duty free recently and like that too. Its really fresh and doesn't last that long - I use it a bit like a body spray.

NorbertDentressangle · 16/08/2015 11:39

I wear this too.

I wondered at first about the possibility of it being "old-lady"-esque as well but I think that's because of the Elizabeth Arden name which, in my mind, is an old lady brand.

A quick search on here at the time showed it was popular and not at all old lady!

I love it but sadly it doesn't smell right on me. Must be my body chemistry.
