The Story
Green Tea in perfumery.
Green Tea is an evocative scent, reminiscent of freshly brewed leaves steeped in hot water. Originating from the Camellia sinensis plant, it carries the crisp, vegetal freshness of young tea leaves, often with subtle undertones of hay and grass. This note transports wearers to a serene garden where nature's greenery thrives.
Perfumers use Green Tea as a top or middle note, blending its vibrant character into compositions for an invigorating effect. It pairs most frequently with bergamot, musk, jasmine, cedar, sandalwood, and amber, creating a harmonious balance of freshness and warmth. Its presence is particularly notable in fragrances that read as green, citrusy, woody, fresh, or fresh spicy.
Today, Green Tea can be found in several notable perfumes including Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea from 1999, Vera Wang’s Embrace Green Tea & Pear Blossom (2015), and Creed’s Asian Green Tea (2014). These fragrances showcase the versatility of Green Tea, which continues to captivate with its lively, rejuvenating character.
