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!

Woweee!!! I found this jewel at tj maxx for $ 13! This has taken my breath away with its beauty. The original green tea wasn't my favorite, there's always a bit of harshness with a realistic green tea scent. But the lotus version is fluid, floral, aquatic almost, and fantastic! It has a bit of elegance that makes me feel beautiful in a simplistic way. I do get some fruit in the very beginning but I would say this is mostly floral. I wish this lasted a bit longer though. You do u have to carry the bottle with u to reapply. Now I need to find a bottle of the revitalize version, hoping that its just as amazing.

I have the original Green Tea and I love it so when I found out about Green Tea Lotus, I just couldn't wait to try it. I just got this perfume today and I'm so glad I did. It was love at first smell! It's refreshing but it doesn't smell like any ordinary citrusy fragrance that I've smelt before. You can smell the citrus notes but at the same time the floral notes are also obvious. Perfect mix! The smell is just beautiful! It has much stronger notes than the original Green Tea, I'd say more noticeable. I'm going to wear this scent all-year round.

This is perfect in warm weather or when you just want something light and unobtrusive. Maybe I just have a thing for tea fragrances but this was so refreshing and pleasant smelling to me, although the sillage and longevity can be a lot better (literally went crazy with the number of sprays but it’s still barely detectable). Dries down to smelling more ‘green’ a lot faster on my skin, but even then it’s still enjoyable.

it was a blind buy. And Im happy that I purchased it. It is absolutely fresh, inoffensive scent very weareable for work and every day time. it is not "not for fainted heart" scent, because this one is not disturbing anyones sinuses. I really like it and will be wearing it a lot. Edit: I can smell it on my clothes the day after application. It is very lovely fragrance, make everyone feel very fresh.

This is another light, citrus floral - very enjoyable EA fragrance that can be worn anytime of the day and is very affordable and well made. I think it is comparable a little bit to Chanel's Chance eau Fraiche....it is along the same line of these green, floral fragrances. It is lovely to wear on a hot humid day as it makes you feel refreshed.

I absolutely love this one! It's my everyday perfume which instantly makes me feel clean, fresh and relaxed. I always get compliments when wearing this one, no one would guess that its actually a cheapy. I can't find it anywhere here anymore (Aus) but I'll defiantly be buying it online because I CANNOT live without this one.

Absolutely amazing!I have the original green tea scent which I love but this is even better I think. It's still very green and fresh but less sharp with nice floral undertone and evokes the scent of spring walks through blossoming summer orchards. Very good feel scent.

got it as a present from my sister and i'm so impressed! i find it pleasant to wear on hot days.. lasting power on my skin is like 6 to 7 hrs. kinda strong at first yet the drydown is amazing.. fresh, clean and very feminine! i love it!

very light, airy scent. i use it to spray my room. much less citrusy than the original and much more floral, maybe even sweeter. reminds me of a spa. love it. otherwise the longevity is not great

Blind Buy this stuff only with 10$ (100ml) and you know what? i love the smell... fresh, clean, and lovely smell... it's cheap..and smell's good... i love it. :)

This is a light, citrusy-fresh, everyday scent. That's its purpose and it delivers well. Anyone who expects anything grander than that should buy something priced over $50. This was my first green scent. It was (and still is) a difficult transition for a gourmand/oriental gal like me, but since I blend perfume myself I respect every note in this one. Somethimes you just need that lighter, carefree fragrance, right? Green Tea Lotus smells divine out of the bottle, but on my skin I just get confused. I haven't owned it for that long so I am still skeptic about it. I wear it on my "cant-be-bothered-with-perfume" days and I find it energizing and uplifiting, once I get passed the citrus that is.. I'm not a big fan of citruses so I am usually on the verge of geting a headache until the drydown (it's not the most obvious note, but to my untamed nose it is). Using this as a body spray and avoiding neck and pulse points works best in my case. Note-wise I get mostly the loud citrus, lotus and lily. They are all swirled in ice cold green tea. Cherry blossom is faint and watery, more like something from The Body Shop that accidently got mixed in with Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea. However, there is that ozonic feature that is just so refreshing and thus encourages me to focus on the "clean" elements in the perfume rather than the frustrating florals and painful citrus. Lasting power is so "90s" in spite of it being launched in the 2000s, it has that linear sillage and doesn't really evolve until much later (an hour). The belated drydown is pure floral to me, but until that - on my skin - it cries out "Hi there, I'm lemon and I'll be here for a while!". Top notes can really drive me crazy. The first day I tried it on I needed a painkiller to get over it. My curiosity urged me to give it another chance though. I think lemon and lotus are constantly in combat for the first half hour or so and that's what frustrates me. When I finally wish most of the lemon away, I get only the faintness of lotus and some questionable florals.. Oh well, like I said, these kind of scents have no spectacular purpose. They are just fresh and "nice". Do I like it? Not sure (yet). Do I recommend it? Yes, if that's your thing. Will I give it another chance? Yes, I will see how it works for me this summer. Don't dwell too much over buying it. Make the purchase if you are into greens or just need something fresh - period. Not recommended for girls strictly into sticky gourmands or sweet fruity-florals. This is a green scent, you'll most likely detest it.

Known for its iconic fragrance called Red Door (1989), the Elizabeth Arden brand launched its first fragrance inspired by the green tea (Green Tea) in 1999. The success was so huge that the company has released more than 10 different versions on the same theme. And here's one of them: Green Tea Lotus. Released in 2008 as a limited edition (although it is in production until today), this creation was inspired by the Lotus Flower, which symbolizes spiritual purity and is considered sacred in various countries of the East. It has notes of plum, Japanese cherry blossom, yuzu, and Mandarin orange, in the output; Lotus Flower, green tea, Aglaia (known as murta-do-campo, fake-lime or Chinese lemon tree), osmanthus and Jasmine tea, in the heart; Musk and white birch, in the base. I love this fragrance! It has the same type of aroma of existing perfumes from more expensive brands like Kenzo or Givenchy when those bring Lotus or cherry blossom notes. And still keeps the tea as a central theme. Once applied, the fragrance is floral-fruity, slightly tart, and citric. Ten minutes later, it calms down and becomes more floral. Unfortunately, the nuance of apricots, which is common in the Osmanthus flower, I couldn't feel. The base is muskier than aromatic, unlike Green Tea Lavender’s base, for example, although they share the same notes. It's a great fragrance for everyday use. If applied generously, it will have good projection and good lasting.

Starts off a bit sharp—all floral and fruit and no green tea. I was actually surprised at how potent and veering on screechy it was to the point of me being ready to dismiss this within the first half hour. In all fairness, I was expecting the soft earthiness of the original Green Tea and blasted myself right in the torso and wrists with about 4 or 5 good sprays. Granted, it’s over spraying, but I love Green Tea and White Tea scents after my evening shower before bed because they aren’t too potent and last me through the night. So, just wanted to give full transparency on my habit of overspraying scents from this line before bed. Thankfully, it softened within an hour and I was left with a beautiful citrus floral. The tea notes are very faint in this one and I’m guessing by the time I wake up tomorrow morning I’ll smell mostly the tea as a close skin scent. It’s quite lovely if you like citrus florals but don’t expect the green tea to be the main focus. All in all I like it enough where I’ll wear this but probably won’t buy a new bottle once finished.

My oh my...no word can describe how much I'm so happy to found this perfume! I have been looking for a lotus or water lily perfume that smells fresh, soft and sweet without nothing else in it. At first, I was hesitate to purchase this affordable perfume, I was afraid that the projecting will be so poor and it might be as equally as a fragrant mist. I also afraid that the tea and the yuzu will take over the lotus. Well, I was wrong. It start off with a noticeable tea and yuzu but not for long, it turns into a pure lotus with a subtle lightly sweet flowery notes which is probably a lily. The silage is moderate. I have dry skin and this lovely lotus scent is on me, soft but lingering. It is a kind of perfume that give you a pleasure and doesn't hurt your neighbor. Especially if your neighbor is someone who dislike perfume. On my skin the lotus is the dominant here with lily and cherry blossom floating in the background. The tea and yuzu were there for 5 mins. Other than that, I really couldn't detect anything else.

My fragrance wardrobe is mostly "sweeties" and heady floral fragrances, so I've been looking for something clean and a bit sophisticated without fruit and spice. Several times I thought about Bvlgari Crystal, but it's a bit pricey and sometimes it's a hit on me, sometimes a miss. I found this and also the summer scent at Marshall's today for 13 bucks per big ol' bottle. Not a huge investment, so I bought them both (blind buy, because, of course, they are all trapped in locked plastic boxes now-a-days). I do believe I have found a winner in this fragrance! It's DEFINITELY green tea from the opening, very much like the original. Once it dries down, the lotus with a touch of woodiness (birch? okay!) comes in and balances out the tea. LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY and exactly what I wanted... clean, peaceful and sophisticated without being "over-the-top". I find it is stronger & longer lasting than the GT Summer version. I'll use this year-round when I need to smell like a grown-up. :) Happy Sniffing, everyone!!!
