Green Tea Cucumber

This one is absolutely delicious and fresh. It boosts my mood immediately. Once you apply you feel a wave of alcohol but it disappears quiet fast leaving a sweet bitter-fresh-aquatic taste of cucumbers from the late summer harvest. These are the type of cucumbers that laid on the ground in a garden lazily below the sun for a couple of days, waiting to be picked up and added to a salad right away. You wash it dawn with a cup of green ice tea with a drop of lemon juice and a slice of watermelon as a dessert. I have another “fig green tea” in my collection but that one is more green-aromatic and suits cold spring days better. The “cucumber” one is a late summer packed in a glass bottle. This fresh and prominent cucumber reminds me the one that was used in “DKNY be delicious” before it was reformulated. It adds a delicious aquatic note to the picture. The longevity is week and the intensity is moderate in my opinion. But well, for that price it’s still very acceptable. If you like citrusy aquatic freshness - this is a must have for you for the summer and as a mood booster.

Long day at the beach? Perhaps the pool, or lake? Or maybe it’s just summer and that’s your vibe? After a refreshing evening shower and dousing myself in this (a liberal 8-10 sprays), especially with a thick coat of whatever moisturizer I’m rehydrating my skin with, I get at least 4 hours of fresh cucumber delight. Some watermelon, maybe a little violet, not much tea (good for me!). I love the Rosa Verde comparison but disagree with the shaming of this scent and by implication, those who enjoy it. When I’m not reaching for one of my more perfume-y summer staples, I am surprised by how lovely this is as an evening summer scent.

Turns out you can buy happiness and it’s only $10 a bottle. Bought this on a whim after coming across the review on this site as I’d loved Green Tea when it first came out ages ago. Didn’t love the first few seconds as there’s a bit of a harsh, sour note, but then it’s just a wonderfully refreshing cucumber - aquatic scent perfect for those unbearably hot days of summer. I wear it around the house and after a shower or a bath before bedtime. Sure, it doesn’t have much staying power, and it’s definitely more of a body spray, but it’s $10. And it’s delightful.

I adore this scent, and wish that it lasted longer. It's very affordable, though, so reapplication is never really an issue. It's wonderfully fresh, watery, and I find it to be much more refined and likeable than most cucumber scents. I love the initial ozonic qualities, and the green tea comes through incredibly well on my skin. It's also a great option for layering with other similar fragrances due to the relative simplicity of it. I actually use this most often to freshen up my walk-in closet, it's clean and refreshing without being soapy at all.

Ugly bottle, poor performance, but it's cheap enough that those things don't matter to much. This is my favorite green tea scent so far and it's now one of my favorite sweet freshies. If you like Acqua do gio or Giorgio blue you may like this one. The tea scent is almost non existent to me (yay!) with citrus being the strongest scent to my nose. The citrus does back off very quickly and you are then left with a lovely fresh watery sweet floral.
