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 is a truly divisive scent. Often called a 'magic potion', its fresh spicy-herbal hit is either an addictive, unique masterpiece or, for others, an unwearable 'anti-mosquito disinfectant'. Absolutely try before you buy.

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.

Occasions
Given its fresh, light, and natural character along with moderate projection, Mandragore is well-suited for casual and sporty wear. Many find it too unique or not potent enough for formal events, while its herbal clarity makes it a refreshing choice for the office or daytime dates.
