Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Green Tea EDT
A divisive yet iconic 'cheapie' from the 90s, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is either delightfully fresh or smells like a cleaning product. It's a citrus-forward, light scent that performs like a body mist, but you can overspray without guilt thanks to the price.

Our Verdict - Clever Man
This one's a cheeky little upstart from Al Rehab, punching well above its weight class. If you're after a budget-friendly scent that outperforms the competition, get stuck in. It's shockingly good for the price and, dare we say, better than some designer heavyweights it's compared to.

Season and Occasion Fit

Green Tea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile, coupled with poor longevity and sillage, makes it perfect for office or sport where you don't want to overpower. Reviewers often mention it as an 'after shower' or 'gym' scent, but its lack of projection means it's generally unsuitable for dates or formal events.

Clever Man

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it an excellent daily wear for casual outings or even the gym. While it has good performance, it's not overpowering, making it reasonably suitable for the office, though it might lack the gravitas for truly formal events.
