Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Green Tea Yuzu opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Yuzu, and Green Tea, settles into a heart of Neroli, Blackcurrant, Thyme, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Birch, and Ambrette. Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea Yuzu carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a wild card. While some find its bitter, herbaceous citrus a refreshing zing, others detect unpleasant notes ranging from cat urine to rancid fruit. A truly divisive scent you'll either love or hate.

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.

About

Green Tea Yuzu opens with a sharp, almost pithy burst of bergamot, lemon, and yuzu, leaning more towards bitter rind than sweet juice. The heart introduces a cool, aromatic blend of green tea, mint, and thyme, giving it an earthy, almost botanical garden feel. The dry down settles into a subtle musk and birch, creating a clean yet quietly woody finish.
