Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia Eau de Toilette Review

  • Trader Joe’s Shells With Brie and Asparagus

OMGZ! So delish! And easy to make! Whenever I make this from scratch I find the Asparagus comes across bitter but Trader Joe gets it down pat plus it takes all of 4 minutes to heat up in my microwave! Nom!

  • Figaro Ceng’s Hair in Devil Beside You

Go youTube up Devil Beside You and behold Figaro Ceng’s hair. It’s the epic, stuff of legends! I’m obsessed with it. I need to know how much gel was used here…anyone know? I mean Mike’s hair was legendary but than Figaro steals the entire drama with hair so big it could compete with the world’s largest building.

  • Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia

Loves it! Refreshing green tea! The perfect Summer fragrance!

Jump!

Elizabeth Arden was inspired to create the fragrance by Ikebana, the ancient art of Japanese Flower Arrangement. The most evevated form of ikebana is known as chabana which is the intimate relationship to the ceremony of tea.

When I let my sister take a little sniff of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia I literally had to arm wrestle it back from her. It’s just that gorgeous.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia Eau de Toilette Spray is one of those rare, beautiful fragrances to cherish. It has a crisp, freshness with strong herbal, green notes which I’m normally not partial too (I prefer fruity sweet fragrances) but at first spritz it becomes seriously addicting.

The fragrance starts off with a fresh green tea note and sparkling hints of lemon. The middle notes come through with a hearty helping of green tea leaves and floral notes of peony, magnolia, and jasmine petals. The fragrance is cocktailed in such a way you’re missing out on heavy floral notes and just getting a fully green tea experience with hints of sweeter mint….mint isn’t technically a note in the fragrance but something is striking me as a cool refreshing green tea with hints of lemon and mint and a full on fresher, green note.

I’m utterly obsessed with this fragrance at the moment and loving the light, crisp freshness it unveils as I wear it. The Eau de Toilette wears well but it does require a touch up within the third or fourth hour in depending on your body chemistry. I kinda wish they had it available as a parfum for longer wear and linger…!

Don’t pass this one by your next trip out…take a sniff…I guarantee you’ll be as obsessed with as I am.

Gorgeous!

Quite Muse Approved for purchase.
