Green Tea Summer

I love the green tea perfumes so much. I have many of them. I don't wear them as perfumes per se, but more like body mists. They don't really have a perfume-y feel and strength to them but rather a freshly washed clothes feel to them. Which is brilliant if you don't want to smell perfume-y, but rather freshly washed and super clean. Green Tea Summer is one of my favourite flankers. The fruity notes are not sweet at all. They don't screech, they don't overpower, they just add a little something to the green tea dna. You can smell the watermelon and citrus fruits, but not in a heavy toilet cleaner way. It's just a little, light fresh add on to the green tea base. Very beautiful. It's perfect for summer and spring.

Gosh this is so nice. I love how light and clean this is. I love clean fragrances, they go well with my body chemistry. Plus this is great in the summer. I can spray as much as I want and it's not overwhelming at all. This is great because I live in the south and we experience hot and humid summers and mild winters. I also put this on after a hot shower. I love smelling this on my pajamas. Just light green tea lulling me into sleep.

What a lovely, citrusy surprise. I never expect much from this line of fragrances and yet am often greatly pleased with many of them. The price is so reasonable and the scent lasts hours. It is not overpowering but definitely noticeable for a long while. I will spray this one often in the coming months. Summer, indeed.

A zesty, rich, green cirtus/floral. One of the best of the Green Tea range as has great longevity, spray her on and she sticks around. Very uplifting and fresh with great energy. Very pleased I decided to try this. I have sense of liveliness and well being when wearing. Great!

I loved this perfumed from the first sniff. It's very fresh and really summery scent. It's very fruity and citrousy. Too bad it's very hard to find, but it's worth it. This is one of my favorites.

I’m getting “Arnold Palmer” from this ( the drink, not the person). The lemon comes through immediately and sticks around for a while. This flanker and Tropical are very similar. So similar, in fact, I decided to do a side-by-side comparison over a day of wear. The initial burst from both of them is identical: sharp citrus. A few minutes later the citrus is still the most prominent note of Summer, but Tropical moves to tropical fruit notes. On paper, Summer stays very lemony and green, like an actual lemon tree. Tropical is sweeter than Summer on paper. On skin, they are both very fruity and stay fruity well into the dry down. I can smell the watermelon (plus the persistent lemon) in Summer, and a whole fruit salad in Tropical. I prefer the dry down of Tropical, because it’s softer. They both have identical performances. In short, Summer is citrusy and green (in a fresh and pleasant way) and Tropical is sweet and fruity. However, I don’t think there’s much point in owning both. You have to do a very close comparison in order to detect their differences. If you’re into citrus, go for Summer. If you’re into juicy fruits, pick Tropical.

In the bottle this perfume smells like a dream; lovely, sunny dream. On my skin at first it smelled like a freshly mown grass, which was wonderful since I've been looking for a scent like this. During the dry down however I detected sharper notes, with something synthetic, artificial in it. Still very interesting though. It's been just a couple of hours, on a very hot day at that, so I can't say I have this fragrance all figured out. It's green, it's fresh, it's a bit sweet but not overly so. It made me think of the first day of school after the summer :) The memory of a fresh hay, still warm from lying in the sun, but with more official, clean and crisp feeling to it, like a white collar, freshly washed. And at the end I could swear I can smell a cucumber. Enough said: I can't stop sniffing my wrist :) I need to test this fragrance some more, but for now- I like it.

Orange, lily, rose, and a little watermelon is what the first whiff gives off. I wouldn’t classify this as unisex, if anyone was curious. Quite feminine, but I still will wear it since it’s so nice. A very pretty scent. Light weight, airy, and definitely summer. Fresh, but not soapy. Citrusy and rosy. A little ‘cucumber melon’ vibes but with more florals. Short lived as others have mentioned, but it’s so cheap that it’s definitely worth getting and just keeping atomizer of this to respray every few hours. Or, wear this in the morning, wear something else light during the mid day, and then something more romantic at night. Seems like upside a lot of the times when we have so many options to use.

I actually meant to buy Tropical, and made a mistake, but I'm glad I bought Summer as it gives me a huge nostalgia hit of when I was a child and lived in the tropical monsoon region of Australia. It takes me back to monsoon afternoons after a storm rolled through every day, and the temperature cools down. I'm by the poolside, I can smell the rain and the plants and the flowers and my mum has given me and my siblings watermelon to snack on. Office safe scent, so I'll be wearing this on those peak summer days when it's so hot and humid that I can't wear my usual sweeter scents, and need to turn to something aquatic and fresh, but not too sharp, citrus or green.- this is still fruity enough.

Okay now this is just so gorgeous??!! Out of all the smells I have in my collection, I think this one has grown on me the most drastically. When I bought it I thought "that's nice! bit soapy but good!" And now, having just sprayed it after shaving my face, I am being enveloped in what I can only describe as the most delectably refreshing cascade of green citrus and Davidoff Cool Water for Men-esque dry spices. It feels simultaneously brave, glittering, and comforting, cozy and clean. It is gorgeously blended in a way I've only seen accomplished by some of my favourite designer perfume houses. And for 7 quid??! Adore this so much.

She’s cheap and she’s cheerful and when I’m running errands in 31 degree temps and 90% humidity, as I am at the moment, I literally drench myself in her, I don’t want the fuss of wondering if some of my more complex frags Will flash bomb other humans into nose blindness or nausea with their projection in the heat. She’s refreshing, she’s green and lightly herbal and she’s uplifting and for such a simple light frag she does get the odd compliment, I remember her and her flankers being very popular in offices across the land in the 90’s, yet to me she’s not vintage... she simply timeless!

Another Green Tea flanker bargain. 100ml for £10 in one of the UK Bargain stores (Boyes in York). I got the Lavender flanker when I was in York last year, didn't have that one this time so I got this. It's very similar to the OG to my nose, a little greener and sharper is all. I love this line for those hot summer days and they are cheap enough to spritz away with abandon!!

This scent to me is pure nostalgia, even though I didn't wear it back then. It reminds me of summers when I was a kid, red brick houses and water fights on hot cement and iced tea. I think it has a similar aquatic/ozonic vibe to Davidoff Cool Water but with a touch less lemon and a touch more sweet iced tea. Juicy, fresh and sweet with the grounding tea.

Fresh, citrusy, clean and a bit green. I mostly get lemon, bergamot and watermelon. Also has a slightly aquatic quality but smells more “posh spa” than beachy. Smells refreshing; definitely for daytime. Longevity and sillage are not massive but better than I expected, I’d say I get a decent 3-4 hours.

Similar to "Green Tea Tropical" but where is that is a bit of a one-trick pony with the litchi note (which I like) this one has many more fruits in the mix...in fact, the flanker is very heavy on the fruit which is the way I tend to like this series...great summer perfume...

Green tea is authentic and nonsynthetic, but a little too green and not enough tea for me. Citruses add another dimension but also point out the green too much. It's good but not my style. A great summer pick that is not sweet at all.

This has become my gym scent. It's a much zestier version of original Green Tea🌱🍵🍋, uplifting and refreshing, works really well in warm and humid weather.

Tr it frozen! It's fantastic.Like a refreshing cocktail

This refreshing and zingy spritz smells like a lemony jug of sweet iced tea on a hot summers day. I think the hint of amber and rose add the very mild sweetness which blooms once the perfume settles into the skin. But this is undoubtedly a citrusy fragrance - lemon and bergamot steal the show, the tea scent right after and following that the aquatic note. You would wear this to a summer market, or to play or spectate a sport in the sun. You could wear this on a run and to the office on a warm spring day. It’s bright and a very happy light fragrance. I also recommend layering a mild vanilla fragrance under it, just subtly - to create an inviting hot summer night scent. The citrus, floral and the subtle vanilla note create something very inviting whilst still smelling clean. The fragrance alone will make you feel a bit more perky on a hot day and make you feel absolutely alive on a warmer spring day too! Two to three sprays is all you will need and it will last you around 1-2 hours as it’s an EDT, but I could say that’s all you would want on a day like that.

Lemonade and iced tea with a bit of a tropical feel. Starts out very heavy on the lemon and then mellows out to a more creamy and fruity tropical lemonade scent with tangerine, watermelon and passionfruit. Not too sweet and not too fruity, just a nice fresh aromatic citrus with a touch of tropical fruits and a bit of sweet musk for the lemon to become more feminine. The green tea note is still there, just like in the original, but there's no woods or jasmine, or any white florals at all here, making it less of an 'aromatic' and more of your middle-of-the-road freshie citrus. It's pleasant but other Green Tea flankers do this angle better and have more originality to them, like Green Tea Nectarine Blossom, Green Tea Mimosa and Green Tea Honeysuckle. Longevity is poor even for Green Tea flanker standards, I don't get more than an hour or two out of it. ★★☆☆☆
