Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Summer is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Claude Dir and Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Green Tea Summer opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Blackcurrant, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Water Lily, Rose, and Watermelon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea Summer carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a real mixed bag. For some, it's a zesty, uplifting summer dream of fruits and green tea. For others, it's a harsh, chemical mess, or just straight-up lemon cleaner. Definitely try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

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:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aquatic, and citrus-heavy profile makes it perfect for casual, warm-weather activities and sports. While some find it office-safe, its casual and refreshing nature is more pronounced. The lack of strong sillage or longevity means it's less suited for formal events or romantic dates.

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
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Imagine a vibrant splash of lemon, bergamot, and tangerine, brightened by the juicy sweetness of watermelon and passionfruit. Delicate rose and water lily add a touch of floral elegance, while a foundation of oakmoss, musk, and amber grounds the fruity zest with a subtle, earthy depth. It aims for a fresh, aquatic warmth.
