Green Tea Lotus

Had this for a few months now, gave it a few casual wearing (few sprays to the mall or to the supermarket), but I wanted to give it a full wear, so I did. 30*C, somewhat sunny and cloudy day, went to a concert indoors. Sprayed it 25 time because it does not project too much and I was good to go. If you spray heavy it will give you a nice scent bubble around you for around 3 hours and remains a very intimate scent for up to 8h. I can still pick it up as a skin scent after that, but I would consider it gone because of how airy it is. THE SMELL - YES!! This is fantastic! A watery-green floral with a clean musk. Smells very well made! Refreshing, elegant, soft and I would say even mouth watering in the beginning. If you like fragrances like Torino21 or Herbes Troublantes, for the 15$ or even less you spend on this - IT IS A BANGER! And for that price you can't complain about the performance because of how good the smell is! This is tailor-made for summer heat, but it would also be a great office scent! Super versatile and likeable without falling into the sweet trends of nowadays perfumery, nor into that old-school, harsh scent profiles. Hope this helps! Cheers!

I want to drown in this fragrance! It’s surprisingly beautiful. That said, I don’t think it’s a safe blind buy (even for the low price) and can understand why it doesn’t have mass appeal. Also, as much as I love it, I can’t see myself wearing it as an everyday scent (more on that in a minute). The lotus really comes through, and I can’t detect the green tea at all. Despite being listed as “floral fruity,” this comes across as predominantly floral aquatic, which isn’t to everyone’s tastes.The best time for using it, in my opinion, is right out of the shower at the end of the day. It gives me luxurious spa vibes, soothing and inviting, perfect for winding down before bed. A surprising bonus: after spritzing this after a night shower, I can still smell it on me, however faintly, in the morning. This makes it the longest lasting Green Tea flanker I’ve tried so far. In short, it’s perfect for an evening at home but maybe a bit heavy aquatic for daytime wear.

I think this is the nicest of the clean, fresh, Green Tea line that I have smelled and I have had about four of them. This just smells prettier and more feminine than Green Tea, Green Tea Tropical and Green Tea Lavender. Green Tea Lavender smells identical to CKbe and is my least fav of the ones I like, it sort of seems like a fragrance to cure anxiety (the Green Tea Lavender not this one) but Green Tea Lotus is more elegant and feminine and lovely than those others and smells a little more expensive and lasts longer. The ones I don't like from this line are strangely the nectarine and cherry blossum. Those are two of my very fav fruits but I don't like them as perfume. My list would go Green Tea Lotus and Green Tea Tropical Green Tea Bamboo and all the others I've tried were less nice that these top three.

I don't get much fruit from this, oddly enough. I like yuzu a lot, and there's a hit of it at the opening, but after that, the tea, lotus, and musk dominate. This scent is sporty and fresh while still being feminine. It doesn't veer into soapy territory on my skin, which was a concern because sometimes lily and cherry blossom end up as soap on me. The longevity is about on par with the rest of the line, which is to say this one won't be with you when you wake up in the morning but it won't tap out after 10 minutes either. After the drydown, it sits fairly close to the skin. It is clean but interesting, and I will continue to reach for it on warm days when I am working around the house or running errands.

I'm a fan of clean and refreshing fragrances, and lotus and tea are two of my favorite notes; hence this fragrance is right up my alley. I'll agree with those who said it's not ground-breaking, but then the stated notes or the price do not indicate gourmand so I do not get it when people expect something revolutionary here. That said, I love the simple, fresh blend of green tea, lotus, yuzu and osmanthus with a faint trail of birch in it. Stays about 2 hours on me but I don't mind spritzing again. Sits pretty close to the skin but those who pass by me or stand nearby can sense a delicious fragrance..Would definitely recommend for those looking for soothing, refreshing and inoffensive fragrances!
