Green Tea Mimosa

Browsing through the scents at Marshall's last night and found this beauty for 9.99$ USD, as well as the Green Tea and Cucumber and two others from the line. I told myself I could only get two... so of course I pulled out my phone and pulled up this encyclopedia of perfume magic...trying to decide which two to bring home. I tried the original Green Tea way back when, and even though I'm sure it was pleasant enough, I don't remember much about it and have not been in any kind of hurry to buy it again or try any of it's flankers, but man am I am so, so very glad I chose this one!! The only other fragrance I own that is heavy in mimosa is Versace Yellow Diamond, which I love! And I think this one is very similar, but I actually prefer the drydown of this one much better. To me, Versace's drydown is fresh, fruity citrus and super fun and youthful. But this one has a lovely floral green tea skin scent that lingers and lingers. I absolutely love this! The initial blast is a blast of zingy citrus and refreshing green tea, but then comes the soft, sweet, if a bit musky (or dusty? Is that right?) mimosa that reminds me of my favorite tree in my grandmas front yard. It's blooms and her peonies were always the signal to my youthful mind that summer vacation was (finally) here! I adore this smell and I am so glad I found it! It is perfect for summer! Now I must try or maybe even collect them all! How can you say no when you can find some of them so affordably?

This smells like half of the notes in Yellow jeans! What’s missing is the sandalwood, Violet, and peach. This is quite lovely and à much better yellow floral than that god awful screech demon “Sunflowers”. Sunflowers is the reason I get nervous seeing “yellow florals” accord listed to this day. In the world of yellow florals, it’s always a gamble where you might end up with either Sunflowers and Jo Malone Honeysuckle& Davana type yellow florals, or you’ll get lucky with Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey,Yellow Jeans, or Green Tea Mimosa yellow florals. This also reminds me of Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey.. Even though neither have honeysuckle notes, the yellow florals are very close to photorealistic honeysuckle. I’m now wondering what Green Tea Nectarine smells like in comparison to Jo Malone’s scent. What I like about this edt is that you can still smell the green tea under the extremely sweet honeyed mimosa note and it’s quite strong for a fragrance in the Green Tea line and has more staying power. I’m going to try layering this with my Ffern Spring 25 which has the violet woods and bergamot aspects of Yellow Jeans that GTM is missing. Each perfume respectively smells like the violet woody citrus and sweet yellow florals are halves of Yellow Jeans.

EA's Green Tea Mimosa turned out to be a pleasant blind buy. It's joined my other favorites in the GT line (Lavender, Fig, Nectarine Blossom, and Exotic). I love everything about this scent (except its performance)-- from the colors to the packaging and the well-blended notes. It's a pretty, citrus floral that I'm enjoying in the current winter weather. I rarely use any GT fragrances in hot weather because the citrus notes turn far too sharp on my skin. The green tea and citrus notes are the most noticeable in the opening but they settle pretty quickly giving the mimosa a chance to come through. Longevity and sillage are poor, so the base notes round off the scent quickly, leaving a clean, floral, citrusy scent that sits close to the skin. This fragrance requires a re-spray— either that or spraying it on your top to extend its longevity. I'll likely go through this flanker quickly and can see myself repurchasing it.

I've been trying to get my hands on this for over two years and I finally have it! I have tested it many times but it was always just too expensive for my wallet in stores (Canada) and while available online from Europe, also prohibitively expensive. But I found an affordable bottle on eBay and it's legit and wow I'm so happy. What a perfect lovely sunny fragrance for spring. I'm so enjoying this right now! The mimosa really stands out and is truly the star here but the beautiful citrus notes really compliment it. The green tea is there in the background, to me, but I do sense it. This Green Tea flanker has very decent sillage and projection. To me this, the original Sunflowers and Sunflowers Sunkissed are my favourites of the whole line.

I bought this "blind" on sale at Marshall's. For $10, EA's Green Tea Mimosa is a wonder. I grew up with mimosa trees, and have always adored the fragrance of the pink blooms. This fragrance doesn't quite capture mimosa for me, but it is lovely in its own right. First spray: Sunny citrus and bright florals, which mellow nicely on the drydown. I get an increased presence of lily of the valley and orange blossoms the longer I wear it. The scent lingers nicely on me, which is unusual and appreciated. Reminds me of Clinique's Happy. Probably best for warm weather, but I'm wearing it right now on a -6 degree winter night, and it's definitely lifting my spirits!
