The story behind the bottle.
Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden, launched in 1999 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, is a cult-classic that has maintained its popularity for over two decades despite its budget-friendly price tag. The fragrance opens with lemon and bergamot, providing a fresh citrus-aromatic burst, while mint and rhubarb add an invigorating green freshness. At the heart of Green Tea are jasmine and carnation, which blend seamlessly into a base of musk, oakmoss, and white amber, creating a subtle warmth that lingers on the skin. This composition has been credited with inspiring numerous flanker fragrances in the industry, making it not just a budget-friendly option but also a trailblazer.
One spray is sufficient as the citrus top notes are bright but short-lived. The musk and amber base notes will build on your skin over time, making it perfect for daytime wear or light occasions.
