Green Tea Yuzu

This is a surprising blind buy; it's a peculiar perfume and I oddly love it. I bought this because I was looking for a citrusy scent I could add in my collection since I don't have much "fresh" and "tart" smelling ones, so I instantly grabbed this from the shelf and bought it. Before opening this, I read some reviews in this site and saw that most of them are negative, though I didn't really put too much thought to it because I believe everything comes down to your personal preference. I started regretting my purchase when I read "cat urine, stale, rancid, sweat" as its smell but I gave this perfume the benefit of the doubt and just hoped for the best. As I sprayed it and gave it a quick whiff, I totally get where the reviews were coming from and I could totally smell the reminiscent scent of cat urine; however, it doesn't exactly smell like it, I think most of it just coming from the "sharp" sensation of smelling a strong citrus peel and cat urine. I agree, it's a sharp scent but it mellows down once it dries down--which isn't too long right after spraying. I love how this scent starts as a bitter zing of pure citrus and settles as a fresh, citrusy, and woody scent. The notes I got from this are earl grey tea, yuzu, lemon leaves, lemongrass, dried mango leaves, and bamboo shoots fused with birch. What sets this perfume from the other green tea flankers is its complexity, and yes people are either going to hate or love it. I noticed that most of the other variants are fruity-florals, in which of course most of time it'll be pleasant and will be loved by everyone, but this? This is something you should learn how to love, which is a unique experience. One thing I also considered from this scent is it's longevity and sillage, knowing that the major concern of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea line is its weak performance--it's almost like spraying infused water on your skin lol--surprisingly, this variant seems to be the strongest because I received some compliments from my friends and they said it's the only thing they smelled while we were in the cafe (wow, it overpowered the smell of freshly brewed coffee?). We spent 2 hours or so in the cafe and it's amazing how I could still smell it on my way back home. This perfume badly wants to be different, which is something you should accept and understand in order to like or love it !!

August 12, 2014 The following was written by an aging member of Generation Y and serves as a review for both Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Parfum and Green Tea Yuzu eau de Toilette. Tea has a special place in my kitchen and in my heart. Though I am ignorant as to how much tea is consumed in the UK, I have always felt that I was anachronistically born in a soda guzzling, coffee addicted nation. I enjoy my habit of shaking off mild depressive phases by going to the grocer and purchasing gourmet teas. My grandmother kept a collection of herbal teas in stock for me when I was a child, and every morning, my mother made black tea with sugar and milk for me. The rituals of drinking hot tea and never being without a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge seemed unique to the women in my family. When we were only friends, my now husband seemed intrigued by my tea addiction and declared that his new hobby was preparing tea for me. He has prepared me tea thousands of times and I am convinced, that with him, there is nothing a good cup of tea cannot fix. When I first married my husband, I was finishing up my last bottle of lotion of Green Tea by Healing Gardens, a cheap and guilty pleasure of mine. When I started to wear a fragrance my husband did not like he asked, "What was that other stuff you used to wear?" He wanted me to smell like Green Tea by Healing Gardens, but alas, it could not be. But now I have Elizibeth Arden Green Tea Parfum and Green Tea Yuzu eau de Toilette lingering on my skin and it smells just like the Healing Gardens Green Tea lotion, except less harsh, a little more light and clean musk, and it is like the earthy taste I get in my mouth after taking a sip of green tea. And even better, it is like Irish Spring soap gone sexy and feminine. Some may complain about the lightness of Green Tea, but I feel green tea should be light and enjoyed with those I want kept near to me. That being said, my husband is going to be home from work in 15 minutes and I am going to put on only my geisha robe, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and Yuzu, and I will find out how long it takes the water to boil for my evening cup.

I received this as a sample. This, like the other's in Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea series is more like a body spray.With that being said, I love the yuzu. lemon and bergamot with the yuzu. Very soft, serene and sunny. This scent makes me smile. I will have to reapply several times but this comes in a 3 ounce bottle so I won't complain.

A burst of citrusy notes, green tea, very aromatic.. Feels like yuzu essential oil on the candle burner. Good for pillow spray. Suitable for aromatherapy..

I would looove to try this scent! }{

I like any yuzu food, so I got this one. Not sure if it smells yuzu-like, but it definitely has a sour green note. Some comments mention smelling like sweat, and at some point I got it too, but somehow I still like it, maybe I'm biased toward the idea of this line and green tea and yuzu. Overall, I do find this flanker quite pleasant, but the OG is definitely more agreeable. (18/09/24) EDIT: There was a period when I couldn't stand the "sweatiness" and my skin was a bit sensitive to the product, so I stayed off it for a while. But recently, when I spray it on my clothes instead of my skin, it's actually really pleasant that I love catching a whiff of it! Also, putting it on clothes makes it last a lot longer. The herbaceous sour green note hasn't changed. And I don't know if I'm smelling tea, but it has a tea-like "roundness" if this makes sense. Overall, recently, it feels comforting but refreshing at the same time, and I really like it. So I've just changed my vote from "ok" to "like". (18/03/25)

This is a very fresh and tart scent. Not my taste, but it's interesting and refreshing. The opening smells a little jumbled, I get a honeyed sweetness for a moment, but that vanishes really quickly and leaves an absolutely non-sweet, cool scent behind. I must admit I'm not very familiar with yuzu as a fruit, I have only tried and enjoyed it in mixed drinks. But Green Tea Yuzu is definitely a citrus and tea scent. I also get green notes, almost like a fresh cucumber, and some unlisted woods. This could easily be unisex and is especially fitting for very hot days. The only other fragrance from the Green Tea line that I have tried on my skin so far was Pomegranate, and I like Yuzu better, even though Pomegranate sounded more interesting to me and I only tried Yuzu because I had a sample lying around. Still wouldn't buy this one for myself, but if you want an affordable freshie without sweet fruits, flowers or shampoo-like notes, it's absolutely worth a try.

I'm actually shocked at how good this one is. It reminds me a bit of Demeter's Daisy, but I like this better because it's more fresh, and it lasts better (yes, you read that right). This is a fresh, green, non-sweet, non-citrus scent. I don't know how it's not citrus with the Yuzu, but then again, I'm not really familiar with Yuzu. It just smells fresh, green, wholesome, clean, and good! Almost herbal, and I feel like I'm getting stems and leaves in this too. I can imagine this would be an ideal scent for meditating. But a lot of these EA Green Teas are like that! So different from other fresh scents. I could possibly see myself getting a bottle of this at some point, though I'm not sure how much I would wear it? Maybe in the morning for a workout, this would feel wholesome and natural. But that would be assuming I actually work out! haha

انتظار ای که از یوزو داشتم رو برآورده نکرد توقع داشتم یک شروع گازدار و زِستی رو تجربه کنم که حس لِه کردن پالپ های آبدار لیمو ترش زیر دندون رو بهم القا کنه اما یوزو بیشتر شبیه یک لیمو ترش معمولی هست.از اون لیمو ترش های درشت و کم رنگ که میگی این چرا اصلا ترش نیست و صرفا یک رَگه ترشی داره و این لیمو با برگ و پوست لیمو ترکیب شده چای،طراوت و سبزی امضای این لاین رو داره که بوی برگ گوجه در اوایل عطر،حال خوبی داره انتهای عطر کاملا حس پودری_مُشکی غالب میشه و نُت های آروماتیک و چای محور کم رنگ میشن اما به یک تعادل و توازن میرسن و از یک ور بوم نمی افته از چیزی که انتظار داشتم فاصله داشت اما پوشیدنی و قشنگه بهار؛بهترین فصل استفاده از این عطره -تست شده از نسخه‌ی 2018- ***************** scent:8/10 longevity:7/10 sillage:6.5/10 purchase value:10/10 ********* overall:7.9/10

Smells incredibly similar to Green Tea Bamboo -- Bamboo leans more aquatic and floral in its opening and this leans more herbal and citric. The opening minute to this is absolutely divine, and then it settles into that very same 'waxy' floral that Green Tea Bamboo suffers from, but luckily, it's less prominent here than in Bamboo. The dry down is fine, and I'm pleased it's more herbal and aromatic here than in Bamboo, but not nearly as good as that realistic and zesty yuzu opening. For like $10 though, it's a keeper. My favorite citrus flanker in the Green Tea line. Lasts about 2 hours, less than the original Green Tea. ★★★☆☆

If you're looking for something to refresh yourself with regularly during the summertime, GT Yuzu is your fragrance. I own this perfume because a family friend was kind enough to gift it to me last Christmas. I currently wear it to the gym. This is a light, refreshing and energising fragrance. On my skin, GT Yuzu is a blend of the sweet yuzu accord combined with the aromatic and soapy green tea. A very linear scent. The major downside to this perfume is that it only lasts for 2-3 hours and sillage is pretty much non-existent. I definitely wouldn't repurchase this.

I bought this because I love anything with yuzu in it. My previous Green Tea scent was Lotus and the yuzu in it was so beautifully refreshing. Now Green Tea Yuzu is slightly different. Initially, its freshly mown grass then a sharp tartness. It smells like if you're on a freshly mown lawn, opening up a bag of dried mandarin peels from the traditional Chinese medical halls. It needs time to dry down before the green and tart parts of the scent comes together. Drydown is similar to Lotus, they both smell like Crabtree and Evelyn's Somerset Meadow.

A very interesting and likable summer fragrance. It's a bit soapy but not too much, the citrus notes are light and sweeter than usually, the tea and spices are perfectly dosed and it is actually very ozonic. However, the sillage and longevity are extremely weak. It reminds me of Avon body sprays. What doesn't remind me of them, is the price, 'tho! Whilst E.Arden fragrances are usually more affordable than most others, this one is overpriced.

Light and refreshing. The citrus is identifiable but oddly muted considering this is a Yuzu scent. I would have liked more Yuzu so it was distinctive as a note, not muddled with lemon. There's enough lemon in every other EA green tea. Of the recent green tea flankers this is my least favorite. The bamboo with its sappy reedy qualities and the fresh crisp cucumber are much better offerings, and I have owned all three.

25Y/F This bottle is special as my partner gifted me this, and I do enjoy this when I use it. However I would not purchase it again. This is a great "out of the shower" feel scent for scorching hot humid conditions in the middle of a busy day. This one lasts much longer on me than the original green tea, however I like the OG much more than this flanker.

A luscious green tea fragrance with an orangey-lemony top notes and a bit of mint. It's a delicious scent that adds a citrus element to green tea. Really wonderful, especially for the price. Wear this when you're not in the mood for anything else. Take it on vacation. Packs easily in the thin bottle that slides into a suitcase pocket for easy retrieval.

A sweet and fresh mix of light citrus notes and green tea. Green notes are dominant, it smells like something made out of leaves. It's subtle and sweet, the freshness is present, but it's not quite shower fresh. Likable, basic, everyday scent. Not bad, but too basic for me.

Beautiful but so short lived that it is almost a joke. This could not be ment to be even an eau de cologne. Perhaps a room scent? Sadly this is not for me, but obviously there are people out there that can live with this fast fading beauty.

Beautiful. Like a glass of lemonade on a hot summer afternoon in the South. Not very long lasting. Easily used the bottle up. Green, citrus, clean and fresh. Not sweet. Beautiful refreshing fragrance. More like a body spray.

Fresh and citrusy...this is a great, light scent...heavy on the lemon and what I guess is yuzu...tea notes are lighter in the one...priced right too...
