Te Verde (Green Tea)

I much prefer Te Verde over Bvlgari's Eau Parfumee au The Vert for my green tea cravings. This particular fragrance is more unisex, with a muskier finish on the skin. Green tea scents have a habit of smelling too fresh and sharp to my nose, but Te Verde is somehow different. Perhaps it is the more aromatic aspect that lures me in. The green tea note is dominant, however it smells more like a brewed cup of hot tea rather than the green tea plant itself. There are many sweet floral accords in Te Verde, like rose and jasmine which soften the scent considerably and give it a more feminine edge. These florals smell fresh and dewy, and really compliment the green tea. Spring and Summer are the most suitable seasons for Te Verde, however its rich muskiness also allows it to wear well during Autumn too. I accidently spilt most of my sample onto my wrist, so had to make do with applying it everywhere. I was a little scared at first that I would stink myself out, however I'm pleased to say that the sillage, although moderately strong, is never overwhelming. Thankfully the longevity is good too. I can't see how anyone could dislike this delightful and simplistic little scent. You could only hate this if the smell of tea disgusted you. Personally, I enjoyed it, and if I still had my sample, I know I would wear it again. Te Verde is a very clever composition, one that has something for everyone, whether it be a delicious green tea note, sweet florals or smooth, woodsy muskiness. I highly recommend.

This is so fresh with the grapefruit/yuzu accord. I love green tea scents for summer and have tried Bvlgari and L'artisan's versions. I like this one the best. The jasmine in this is really good, no fecal jasmine here; just light clean and fresh. This has a euphoric effect on me and will adjust my mood from stressed out to mellow, bad to good, negative to positive, etc., I think this is only slightly more feminine, but wouldn't mind smelling this on the right guy. Hard to find in the US, but you can score a bottle from cybercucina.com for around $42.00 for 1.6 oz bottle

Nice fresh cup of green tea! I love it! Not olny for summertime but is is somehow comforting warming scent for the winter too. .
