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.

Im delighted with Green Tea Fig. Its very very fresh and bright with a sweet but peppery tang. I have no previous experience with the fig note in a scent even though black figs are a favourite fruit I have enjoyed. Green Tea Fig is uplifting with a graceful sense of peace. I experience anxiety and this is like an oxygen mask for me. I feel fortunate to have found GTF plus its also sooo affordable. On my skin its extremely bright, clear, fresh, deep, natural, green, juicy, sweet plus airy and watery at the same time Edit PS :- I have taken to also spraying it around as a room/house scent. Its so incredibly clean fresh and uplifting I can't get enough of it. So I spray myself and my house and feel so peaceful and enveloped in tranquility.

I have to make a review of this as it turned out to be one of my favorites. There's something about this that got me hooked. I usually put it before going to bed and I'll wake up to an amazing musk scent. What it is at the beginning is pretty amazing, too. More fig than green tea (which I love, the green tea just became the backup singer for the fig), it's warm and sweet and relaxing and very very cozy. This is what I crave for when I'm sick, when I'm in some sort of discomfort, basically when I just want to experience peace and tranquility. Not a common scent which is also refreshing among the sea of fruitchoulis and generic smells. The longevity is also better than other green tea flankers! The best from the line imo.

I blind bought this as a low price low risk gamble and BOY did it exceed my expectations. I don't have any of the green tea perfumes, but have smelled a few and this is BY FAR my absolute favourite. As soon as a spray this I am transported to the fig tree in my childhood home-fragrant and heavy with ripe fruits. The opening is so fig-gy and sweet and juicy that you can almost taste the ripeness of the fruit. Yes, it does then morph into the more familiar green tea DNA, but the fig is still present! Top tip: If you feel adventurous and want to trust a stranger on the internet- try layering this with something like Philosophy Fresh Cream (I use Fresh Cream Suede) and thank me later for all the complements you will get.

I was dubious about this one...but picked it up for practically pennies. I wasn't disappointed....wonderful green, fruity, fresh fig. Couldn't pick up much tea. But that doesn't matter to me. Really get the ivy and the fig. I think I can get some creaminess from the pistachioon the dry down, but this isn't creamy really at all. This easily rivals some figs that are 8 times the price. Also a wonderful fig fragrance if you're looking to start exploring that note. Wish they would update the bottles as they are quite ugly tbh 🙈 but for £10, a great great underated fragrance. Also quite surprised at longevity and performance. Would definitely buy again!

FINALLY got my nose on this one. I adore Philosykos by Diptyque and wanted a much more affordable option. I don't think Elizabeth Arden makes Green Tea Fig anymore. It's been disappearing for about a year now, but I found my 100ml bottle on Mercari for $12. This is beautiful. Absolutely stands up to Diptyque. Everything I had hoped for except it's a bit masculine leaning. My bottle was a NIB but vintage, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it? I'm pretty sure the sage is what's making this masculine to my nose, but it certainly doesn't ruin it for me. Just Gorgeous. Come Spring I'm going to waft myself in this glory!

I got this today and I am in love! Autumn days are starting and this reminds me of wet yellow, orange and red leaves, like walking in a forest of deciduous trees. Interesting that this is often seen as a Summer scent. To me, this is a warm, soft scent that reminds me a lot of Un Jardin Sur La Lagune of Hermès, a round, soothing, powdery scent. I definitively feel the pistachio and the clary sage in the dry down, it feels like the natural essential oil. I tried the yuzu version before but I like this one better, this version will definitely stay in my collection!

green tea fig impressions: juicy leafy bright fruity the scent of green fig once you bite into it. this goes more plant fresh once on for a few hours, tht initial top juicy note subsides. i get a nice whaft in the car from my arm. there is an unusual note with the fruit element. i cant smell the original and flankers in this (thanks goodness) i dislike them all - the sales girl sprayed this near me is why ive tried it. green tea nectarine has a juicy brightness with greenness that this also has. different scents but for point of reference/comparison.

I like pairing this one with the original Green Tea, it creates such a nice clean, green, fruity combination. In fact, I feel more of a green accord instead of the fruity one. Could be worn anywhere during daytime, but I prefer wearing it in the office since sweet/vanilla fragrances I have in my collection don’t suit my mood at work. But this combination of 2 “green teas» do it well and are quiet inoffensive to the office atmosphere. But this can be worn to go spend time among spring or autumn nature as well, or to enjoy some long walks outdoor.

This, what a complete stranger in the perfume world... If you imagined you would get a light, sugar sweet, floral, saucy feminine, general understated fruit scent, then no. But if you looking for an honest fig and mayby you are even ready to go and pay the price of niche scents to get what you want, then don't go fishing any further than the sea! Try this one first. Good durability and multipurpose layerable with all sweet scents, gives the fruit that "Erba Pura" vibe, I think. I'm afraid this will be discontinued.

Gosh, this grew on me this summer! I would have never thought that such a cheap perfume can be so nice in summer. I must say that I love fig ( leaves especially) in perfumes... Philosykos from Diptyque is the best fig scent...but it's quite expensive. This one, it keeps you son fresh smelling the entire day. It lasts long , it's quite realistic in it's representation of green tea and green leaves... Has also a bit of sweetness but not too much. If you're living in a hit climate, you will love it

This is lovely, fresh yet cozy. Smells like a ripe mouth-watering fig (as opposed to a milky green fig fragrance like Philosykos which I also have), which also has a hint of lush blackberries to my nose anyway. I’m surprised by how wonderful this is and how lucky that I was able to get a 100ml bottle for such a low price online. The days might be colder, but I’ve been strangely leaning towards clean and simple fragrances lately. This one will be worn a lot this season.

It’s not my favourite fragrance, it’s not a perfume I like to put on me when I go out and stay long among other people, but its sour fig freshness has something quite addictive to me. I love to spray it over my whole body after the shower or just before going to bed. It’s not a safe and inoffensive fragrance, it’s rather sharp and very green. Worth a try if you like the genre.

Perfect summer/spring everyday scent. Electric, bubbly and fresh (not warm, not milky, not powdery). Smells clean, like you just got out of the shower. Green tea base, with fresh wild fig (think about the fresh fruit when you pick it from the tree) and a very vague citric scent. Lovely. It's cheap but smells expensive, does NOT smell like alcohol at all.

This works so well in humid & hot climate. It's my summer staple, refreshing, figgy, delicious. I just always get compliments for this one spraying it after the beach. It's not Philosykos nor it's trying to be. This is the best green tea flanker imho, my number one for hot, sticky summer.

A fave Green Tea flanker since I hate the original. This goes on with the typical tea DNA and some nice dry fig leaf. Very green. Then as it dries down and gets sweeter, that ripe fig fruit comes in. In the base, it goes back to a grassy green tea scent. Very pretty and fresh.
