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!

Indeed on the top of my list for elizabeth arden series. My favourites from Elizabeth Arden green tea series are: Mimosa, Exotic, nectarine blossom and Fig.. Surprisingly, it only took 5 simple ingredients and it became a wonderful fragrance.. A delightful, powdery & happy scent. A blind buy but It took me by surprise i never knew mimosa smelled so nice. Heliotrope as the base must have given it the powdery scent. I didn’t regret buying it.. In fact I love it so much I went back to the store and bought another 2 bottles... =]

These flankers are wee gems! This one is exactly what it says on the tin....opens with citruses, start to get some mimosa in the middle, but I get it most on the drydown along with some heliotrope. Just lovely. Very well balanced and nothing really overpowers anything else. I think I will practically bathe in this one and the fig as the weather (eventually) turns to spring. Wonderful cheap fragrance that easily rivals perfumes 5 times or more its price. As does the fig!

This is so nice and summery! I bought the original EA green tea and it did not last more than 30 minutes on my skin, I gave it to our teenage daughter. So I did not have high hopes for this either, but i LOVE Mimosa, so for $10 I tried it. SO cheerful and sunny. A definite great summer fragrance, the tea notes dry down very quickly but the mimosa (although not very realistic) and slight fruity note, are very fresh and last a good long time. Which is rare for my skin.

I don’t think I’ve ever smelled an actual mimosa plant, but I think the powdery floral scent in this flanker is gorgeous. It’s not your grandmother’s powdery floral. This is THE perfect bedtime scent, or just anytime you might be looking for some extra softness. I can’t decide if this is my favorite GT flanker, but it’s way up there with Lotus, Nectarine Blossom, and Pomegranate.

Absolutely lovely!! The best in the Green Tea collection of those I've tried. Superfresh. This is definitely not a heavy nauseating powdery type of perfume in my nose. It's a very 'clear' and blooming scent.

A wonderful scent. Softer And warmer than the original Green Tea, and I love it for that. I’m sure it will be even better as the summer comes along. A bit of happy sunshine in a bottle.

My absolute favorite from The tea line. it reminds me of when i was coming back from my 3 hours ritual in The Hammam back home in Morocco and i pass by a mimosa tree.

I picked this up over the weekend at TJ Maxx 3.3oz for $9.99. I have the Cherry Blossom Green Tea as well. I would say out of all the green tea flankers I have smelled this one only has a hint of green tea in the initial blast and it honestly doesn't last much longer than 3 minutes tops. Then you get a bit of citrus and then the lovely floral mimosa middle. Its really cheerful! It dries down to a skin scent floral, you've got to put your nose up against it to smell. I think you would probably need to reapply after 4 hours to get by. If you consider what the line is, sort of a crowd pleasing, not offensive, mood boosting scent, well this one is very, very Darling. Lovely for work or casually running errands, a mood lifter before chores about the house. Good smells for you, save the expensive stuff for going out!

The only yellow floral in the Green Tea flanker range, and by far the most powdery flanker. Starts out tangy and somewhat sour, then quickly (within 5 minutes) mellows into a creamy, musky mix of tea and baby powder. Unlike the original Green Tea, which is unisex, dry and a little spicy, this is a more powdery, feminine tea drydown. Like brewed tea with milk vs. raw tea leaves. Nectarine Blossom has the same powdery and innocent tea note, but it's overall sweeter. This is a nice choice if you want the gentle powder and musk drydown of the more feminine flankers but still want the unisex and citrusy feeling of the original.

I received a bottle of EA Green Tea Mimosa from a generous Fragrantica member. I really like few of the flankers and find this one quite enjoyable as well. It starts as a soft tea scent with a hint of mimosa that is nice but not good enough to get my attention and then unexpectedly I can smell sunny, powdery mimosa flowers as if I were in a front of blossoming mimosa shrub. This is a kind of hide and seek mimosa experience since I cannot smell it all the time. It comes and goes. It lasts over five hours on my skin so I feel lucky since many people find it short- lived.

Musky, but fresh. Not much green tea or mimosa in this, just a citrus floral. I plan to use as a car freshener. It’s a skin scent and pleasant. I would prefer Clinique Happy to this in terms of wanting a mood booster. This will be great as a body spray. Great in summer on long afternoons running errands. It reminds me of a nice candle at a spa or (and this is weird) but shopping in Anthropologie.

I dislike EA Green Tea and bought his one and the lavender for $9.99 at Marshalls. I regretted it and let them sit a week before opening this one. What a surprise! A tea fragrance that I like. Big blast of alcohol and citrus in the top then green tea and some lovely mimosa flowers. Very green and bright. Fresh. Summer, here I come!

I thought i liked the fruity flankers most but theres a reason those never stuck with me. GT Mimosa has the right amount of the original, with the slight sweet powderyness of Mimosa that I love. I enjoy the Green tea note here the most as the spices are gone. Perfect green-floral scent for me!

Fresh, sparkling and in a way more feminine than the other Green Teas I had. I can definitely detect the mimosa, but it is blended very well. Lasts much longer as it's an EDP, and and the dry down is lovely, lightly musky and I even thought peach blossom was in the notes.

This is my favorite out of the Green Tea collection. It's fresh, kind of citrucy, light and fun. It's my most beloved "relax at home" scent right now. It does disappear in about 30 minutes, so I wouldn't be taking it too seriously if I were you.
