Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Green Tea opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Musk, Oakmoss, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Caraway, Celery Seeds, Amber, and Clove. Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best 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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, sharpened by a vibrant mint and tangy rhubarb. This bright citrus quickly blends into a green heart where delicate jasmine meets earthy oakmoss and a hint of spicy fennel. The base settles into a refreshing green tea accord, underpinned by warm amber, subtle clove, and unusual celery seeds, creating a unique and clean dry-down.
