Green Tea Lavender

One of the very few Green Tea flankers that I find to be as timeless as the original, while still adding enough of something different. This is much less citrus and white floral than the original, and is primarily a gentle lavender, with chamomile, green tea and mint being the main discernible notes, with the base being your typical white musk woody Green Tea base. The chamomile here is not hot or spicy, it's just a calm and soothing chamomile, and same with the lavender, which doesn't feel masculine or cologne-like, but perfectly genderless and refreshing. I do feel this shines best in warmer weather, as a way to refresh your skin after a hot day or a workout (especially by throwing it in the fridge!) One advantage it has over the original Green Tea for warmer weather is that on some people those bitter green and citrus notes in the original can turn sour in sweaty hot weather, and this leans (especially in its first 15 minutes) much more herbal and calming, making it much less likely to sharpen on your skin. I'd recommend trying this one out for those who find the original Green Tea too bitter or green, but like the idea of a cheap and refreshing herbal/aromatic fragrance! I wish the chamomile and mint lasted longer, as in its basenotes, it goes back in the direction of that bitter aromatic green in its base notes, mostly carried by the lavender and green tea, which is not as calming and light as the opening 15 minutes. However, it doesn't smell bad, just more masculine, and for $13 with free shipping for a 100mL bottle, I'm okay with this fragrance not being perfect. Also makes a great room spray and pillow spray. Lasts about 2 hours on my skin, which sadly is a bit shorter than the original Green Tea. ★★★★☆

The lavender isn't very dominant, but it's certainly there. I don't find the green tea, mint, or any other notes to be overpowering, but each is uniquely present. It is a refreshing and calming fragrance. I got 100ml for $12.99 after reading reviews here, because I've been searching for a new lavender fragrance. I find lavender to be not only calming, it helps me to feel focused when I am feeling anxious. I have a lavender soliflor from Turkey called Rebul that is running low, so I wanted a replacement, and perhaps something with a bit more complexity. I think Green Tea Lavender is very much what I was looking for, although I might seek out some other options. I got this during a very hot July week while doing some intensive training and taking a state licensing exam for work, and it really fit the bill. Not at all overwhelming, but calming, aquatic, ozonic, a bit salty, and refreshing. I can douse myself in it and it does seem to help me to sleep better too. I also like that it can be layered without conflict with other soft fragrances. I don't know if it's the season or just my recent tastes, but these light refreshing fragrances are all I reach for lately. I don't think it has much more staying power on my skin than any fragrance in this category, but for me spritzing myself is such a joyful and uplifting experience that it's almost a benefit. Plus I feel that I can switch fragrances throughout the day without fear of clashing. At this price point, I find this to be a very satisfying purchase, but if it cost more I'd most likely be disappointed.

I was gifted a bottle of EA Green Tea Lavender in early 2019, before I realized what a fun sniffing hobby could be made for my snoz. Even then I had known of the OG Green Tea and was quite disappointed to see a purple flanker winking out of the wrapping instead. I sprayed it on and was still unimpressed, but it was acceptable enough (daily wear freshie) to not be pushed to the back of my cupboard. Now two years later, and with a deeper interest in fragrance, I still reach for it when I go out. Green Tea Lavender has grown on me and taught me an invaluable lesson -- that I am a basic bitch. I am drawn to the boring and the inoffensive. My snoz, as keen as it is, finds more comfort in air dried, fresh scented linens than any heady wowza fragrance. Describing the scent, it comes on quite sharp when sprayed, like being smacked in the face with a bouquet of lavender dipped in lemon juice. This mercifully lasts for only a minute before it takes on a warm and spicy scent of lavender and mint, which to me, feels like a luxurious, stress relieving bath. I can't stop sniffing my wrist when it reaches this stage. The lemon, though not a star, can be picked out in the background, and it dries down to a comforting, quiet, lavendery musk. Safe buy for anyone who enjoys 'fresh' as fresh as toothpaste, spicy green notes and... if ya basic!

Green Tea Lavender is another stellar addition to EA's line for me. The beginning of the fragrance smells a lot like a warm minty chamomille tea with a bit of a floral chaser. The lavender is pronounced in the beginning, but begins to get softer as the scent wears. I experienced a lot of the green tea in the mid notes but it mingles well with the chamomile fragrance. I did not detect any magnolia at all. The tea smell gives way to a dry, slightly woody, and beachy type of lavender fragrance during the drydown. I have really never enjoyed lavender as a raw material as it can be powdery, but in this offering there is an almost boozy quality in the basenotes that I really did enjoy. But be warned, it is a little masculine when the fragrance reaches this point. It is quite longlasting and the projection is decent. I love how calming this fragrance is, like the epitome of aromatherapy for the body. I really will enjoy wearing this one often. Rating 8 out of 10. Suitable for casual, office, weekend, and daytime use.

I just bought this because of the comment that said it smells just like Puzzle by Coty!!! Which I had been looking for something that smells like it because I used to have that perfume long ago, in middle school, because my dad, who just passed away less that two years ago, had bought for me. IT DOES SMELL LIKE PUZZLE! I can’t stop sniffing my arm. It’s a smell that brings back so many memories and feelings. Nothing special, just a fresh smell if you don’t have feelings attached to that smell. I do smell the tea, chamomile, lemon and mint. Now that I am brought back to this smell... maybe that’s what I was looking in Aqua Di Giogia and Light Blue and I just knew they weren’t it. Thank you, you have no idea what it meant for me to find this smell from such happy days as a teen.
