Green Tea Fig

Such a lovely and perfect hot summer scent. I was never a big fan of Arden's tea collection ( too light for me), but I've learned to see how such a light type of scent can be of help during the hot days. Green Tea Fig is first of all a green fresh revitalizing scent. I love the scent of fig, not so much the fruit bit more the entire tree (leaves, wood and fruit). Philosykos from Diptyque is the best interpretation of a fig tree and fruit. The green tea note is still very much present from start to finish which manages to boost even more the greenness of the perfume. I must say, that in my opinion it is better than the original Green Tea. Green Tea Fig comes close to Philosykos in it's representation of the greenness of this magical tree.It is as very unisex scent that makes you feel joyful, refreshed and grounded. Don't expect monstrous sillage or a whole day of performance, but be sure that in heat this perfume "blossoms" and envelopes you in a cloud of freshness. The price is very nice (between 8 and 30 euros for 100 ml, depending where you buy it). For what it is (a cheap (in price)cologne type of scent) it is done with a lot of attention to the details. It performs and smells at its best much better in the heat. I was totally surprised by it.

I got a bottle because somebody told me it smells like Philosykos which is a scent I really love and since I'm familiar with how it smells I wanted to give this one a try to see how the 2 compares. I also love the original Green Tea so I had a lot of faith in this fragrance and I have to say I wasn't disappointed as far as the quality of this scent goes. Does it smell like exactly like Philosykos? Absolutely not, this one is more citrusy and sweet and Philosykos is more woody and green. Are they at least similar? Yes, especially the opening, after about 30 mins not so much. This is more like the amalgamation of the 2 scents mentioned earlier, so like a green figgy green tea lemonade that's the right blend of bitter and sweet with lots of citrus. I personally love this one and for the price you'd too if you like Philosykos and/or Green Tea. I even got compliments when I wore this. The only backside is the longevity but if you spray some on your clothes as well it's not a problem anymore, it definitely lasts a few hours longer that way.

انجیر... نُت ای که هیچ وقت برام تداعی گر انجیر نبوده و صرفا این رایحه‌ی شیرین و گزنده و میوه ای برام به عنوان انجیر تعریف شده که خب دوست اش دارم ولی برگ انجیر داستان متفاوت ای داره و اون بوی خاکی و سبز و گزنده اش،حس طبیعی برگ انجیر رو بهم القا می کنه این جا یک انجیر شیرین و ملوس داریم که تا حد ممکن از فضای سبز و لطیف چای و گل ها سرشار شده و به تعادل رسیده مُرکبات نه چندان قدرتمند حتی در شروع،که زیر سایه‌ی انجیر محو شده اند و بیشتر تم میوه ای و شیرین دارند تا اسیدی و ترش امضای این لاین که بوی سبُک و سبز چای باشه رو کاملا از ابتدا تا انتها حس می‌کنم که در کنار انجیر،نقش های اصلی این عطر رو بازی می‌کنند تا انتها کیفیت رایحه حفظ میشه و فضای سبز اش هم از بین نمیره و پودری هم نمیشه روی پوست من پخش و ماندگاری جالب ای نداره(خصوصا در فصل گرم) اما روی لباس خیلی قشنگ تر می‌مونه و تا ساعت ها ماندگاری و تا 3،4 ساعت پخش محدود داره کلا عطر های این لاین الیزابت آردن به نظرم ارزش خرید بسیار بالایی دارند **************** scent:9/10 longevity:6.5/10 sillage:6/10 purchase value:10/10 ******* overall:7.9/10

Finally bought it for riddiculous prize... And I'm so glad I did it! It remins me slightly of L'Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge, now sadly discontinoued... Combination of fig + tea + figue leave + nut note (pistachio for Arden and walnut for Bvlgari) is similar. I don't get too much green tea in this one, I wouldn't recognize it as Arden GT flanker... I get creamy, and milky fresh figues, at the beginning with bergamot/citrus note and fig leave and undertone of green tea. But all the green notes simply disappear and here comes the milky figue with nutts undertones on slightly musky base. I love it and I could bathe in it. Fresh but not too much, it's not harsh, more well rounded and balanced. I'm glad I get similar notes as in my favourite Bvlgari Thé Rouge, one of my favourite perfumes I've ever had, used to be my autumn signature. This one is a bit simpler, lacks some depth and spiciness, but the main feeling is deffinitely there for me.

I have this perfume for two years and it really grew on me. For this price, it is excellent and rather unique. In the beginning, I can sense the green/woody of the fig leaf and the fresh of the citruses (but these are more subtle). After aprox 5 minutes, the woody is gone and I am left with the fig and a slight trace of green tea. I can't feel the pistachio at all. The perfume remains in this way for a few hours (2-3), and in the end the clean musk is the last to be felt. Overall, very nice, not complicated perfume that gives me that "something" that I look for in a multitude of sweet and fruity perfumes. For those who care about what ingredients are used in the formulation, I need to mention that this has 2 endocrine disruptors (ingredients rating: 0,7/20). As much as I love this scent, I try not to spray very often, and only on clothes, for this reason.
