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.

Application Tips
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.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
