Green Tea Honeysuckle

I have and love this honeysuckle fragrance. For years I've looked for a fresh honeysuckle, and very few are available. Avon's Honeysuckle was the best I've ever tested, and long discontinued. So the release of Green Tea Honeysuckle delights my honeysuckle - lovin' heart! There are several pros and cons about Arden's Honeysuckle to consider, which I'm more than happy to share. As follows: For all of you who love honeysuckle but hate green tea, I'd recommend you avoid this little beauty. There's a good amount of the original Green Tea vibe going on here. I can clearly smell it, and my nose isn't all that sophisticated! The longevity and sillage are admittedly poor. More like bodyspray material, in my opinion. I spray this on underarms, fabric, and hair for the best performance, just like you might with deoderant spray. Works for me. ;) But anyone wanting better longevity should consider buying the body cream instead. It's more expensive than the perfume, but probably worth it! I'm smelling a good deal of fresh orange blossom ( neroli ) here as well, which might come as a surprise for someone expecting merely honeysuckle. They balance each other beautifully, however, and I'm very pleased with this addition. The other notes listed - aside from green tea - are barely if at all noticable to me. I positively CRAVED Green Tea Honeysuckle in the early spring, when the air was still crisp and the leaves not yet budded. It fulfills that need for flowers and sunshine we feel during a slow thaw. As such, it's absolutely theraputic! All in all, a great purchase and worth the 10 dollars spent. 3 Stars... 5 if the sillage and longevity were better!

For an inexpensive perfume, this smells very soft, fresh and sweet. I'm a sucker for honeysuckle. So it doesn't last as long as an expensive perfume – hey, what do you expect? While it lasts – it's delightful! I need to update this review. This is the first day that I've worn Green Tea Honeysuckle. First, I forgot to mention the lovely scent of citrus that accompanies the honeysuckle all day. I love it. Secondly, I put this fragrance on at about 9:15 a.m., this morning. It's still lovely (not quite as strong) at 8:15 p.m. of the same day. I am very impressed with this very inexpensive fragrance with such a lovely scent. If you don't like citrus and honeysuckle, then you won't like this. But if you do like them -- this is a great buy and worth every penny. 9:48 p.m. of the same day -- Green Tea Honeysuckle is still delighting my nose as I sit here and work at the computer.

I guess you could call this a "safe blind buy" since the green tea range sticks to its guns (in a good way that is) so to speak. Must say that the honeysuckle flanker is my all-time fave besides the sophisticated lavender version; airy, fresh, flowery and downright lovely! A real go to fragrance for me, definitely. Luckily there are no sharp citrusy notes but a refreshing and elegant scent for carefree everyday use. For me the wow factor is so strong that I already stocked up another bottle even though just started emptying my first one :D

I love this fragrance so much! It is one of my top three flankers along with jasmine and nectarine blossom. I was quite surprised that I love this since I am not familiar with honeysuckle scent. All the floral scents in this fragrance compliment each other and green tea scent is also prominent and blended well with the floral scents. Hubby and I both agree that this is a very pleasant, beautiful and inoffensive fragrance. Good for Spring, Summer and probably even the Fall months.

I won this at Ebay auction with little expectations. So i was really surprised how much i like it upon first sniff that it made me smile. For me it is way better than the OG green tea which i also have and barely use. The honeysuckle makes it sweeter and definitely adds oomph to the blend. I really enjoy that note. I am very pleased with this despite its poor longevity. It is perfect for after shower and before going to sleep.
