Green Tea Eau de Toilette vs Clever Man
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
