Description
Elizabeth Arden presents Green Tea Bamboo in 2014 as a new variation on the theme of the original Green Tea from 1999. Green Tea Bamboo is a mix of fresh and pure woods that captures the spirit of the traditional bamboo gardens. Classic Green Tea fragrance notes are combined with subtle yet inviting notes of bamboo, representing a fresh interpretation of simple elegance and well being.
Sparkling cocktail of bergamot, grapefruit and lemon is mixed with luscious greens such as bamboo, tamarind tree leaf and galbanum. This is followed by the heart of green tea, cucumber, violet leaves and syringa Scent Trek™. Gentle musk and woods at the base are in perfect harmony with mastic, orris root and mate.
Available as 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

I had the feeling this would be the one for me, and I think I am right. Favourite so far. Its Woody, wet, green, three qualities I love in scent. Grass-sweet. Invigorating at first smell. I really like the cucumber, and the cucumber GT was lovely too. But I think I prefer the woodiness of this one to cucumber GT. Most likely, this will be FBW

Not bad…this is fresh, green and very unisex…maybe the most unisex of all the flankers…glad to see some boys trying this one out…great light summer perfume that doesn’t break the bank…worth seeking out…

Spimple, clean, watery and fresh! This perfume opens up with lemon and cucumber. After a while the bamboo and tea notes show up. It’s great during warm weather between showers! I’d say it’s a unisex scent. Both men and women could wear it.

Great in its simplicity! I really want it.

It’s perfect under the current circumstances, as I find it very refreshing and it makes me feel energised. The original smells better, but this one is a nice flanker, I can only recommend it.

Ladies, would this fragrance suit a straight, well muscled man in his late 40s?
I’m confident but nevertheless don’t want to smell too girly.
I’m looking for something light, discrete, fresh, different and distinctive for the hottest days of summer and a holiday in Cyprus in May. Just looking for a bit of affordable variety, that’s all. Thanks.
Addition:
I bought some, I’ve worn it and I’m very pleased with it.
My opinion is that a man CAN get away with it. Very much so, in fact.
It’s a lovely crisp, refreshing summer scent that I’m looking forward to wearing in the summer months and to taking on holiday with me. I thought it’d be weak and watery but its got a bit of oomph on me so no more than two sprays to do the trick.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is a well loved line of cheapies in EDT concentration. Not all of them are equally good; I’d say that Green Tea Bamboo is one of the best, simply because it does smell like bamboo, whilst preserving the herbal-leafy theme. I can also smell the cucumber note, and the overall vibe is more ozonic than green. Pretty decent sillage too, while the longevity is 2-3 hours – but for that price I don’t expect more. All in all, this is a decent, refreshing everyday fragrance and a good addition to the GT line. I was disappointed with GT Mimosa, but now I’m looking forward to testing GT Fig. Hope it’s not too artificial!

I bought this one at duty free. It is a fresh clean ozonic fragrance to me. I detect bamboo, green tea and some water notes, I don’t really get any of the other citrus or woody notes listed. This is my favorite of all the Green Teas. I find it lasts longer than the others. It is perfect for getting out of the shower and when you are running errands or just going for morning/afternoon walk. I find myself reaching for this more often than I expected, it is just safe, clean and fresh. It is happy and easy to wear. It is not at all citrusy to my nose, this confuses me as the notes suggest it would be, and it’s not at all. I really like this scent, I wish it projected and lasted longer, but it is cheap, and one gets what they pay for. I must say this is the kind of bamboo scent I have been looking for, I tried gucci bamboo and it has nothing on this. The bamboo is much more fresh and prominent in this scent than gucci bamboo, despite gucci being 3x times the price.

green tea + lime + salty note + crushed grass or bamboo without the indolic note (almost like melting metal/welding, rubber or some kind of sweat??) Interesting.

This is a quiet woodsy fresh green tea scent. Very calming. I enjoy bergamot and woodsy scents and with the bamboo…I’ll definitely repurchase.

I tested this last week, and I’m still undecided if I even like it.
The opening bamboo note smells exactly like bamboo, and nothing else. So well done for that.
But I find the bamboo note a bit jarring and uncomfortable. I don’t wear perfume to achieve that.
It fades soon enough, and then the dry down is lovely and mellow.
Maybe I just like plain old Green Tea with nothing added.
Or maybe it’s just so unfamiliar, and I could get to like it in time.
Maybe . . . .

Cheap blind buy (which I no longer do!).
It’s as if you walk into a kitchen and smell the lemony cleanser used to clean till it sparkles. You notice tea-bags on the counter ready to dip. On the sill is a planter with two bamboo stalks that have just been watered.
Pleasant scent for that room, but not as a perfume (for me, anyways). I put it under my sink and spray as an air freshener after a good clean. I can not imagine walking around with that astringent lemon scent coming off my skin 🙂

This is a very woody representation of the usual green tea scent. Very reedy/watery, almost like aloe, that sort of green sappy freshness. Good fresh bamboo note. Not as sweet as the usual EA green tea, but much greener and woodier. A light scent, good for work environments or as a refreshing pick me up during the day. Doesn’t have as much citrus as the usual EA green tea so might be a good alternative for a “wake up” scent if you don’t like citrus. Ironically this is what I had hoped the new Gucci Bamboo smelled like, which of course it doesn’t at all!

Mostly smells like tea, there’s just a little fresh woody scent to it.
I tried the Cucumber version lately and now since I liked that one better, this one doesn’t impress me at all.
Good, but not super amazing. All Green Tea fragrances are good for people who don’t like strong perfumes.

The original was one of my most loved ones in my early teens. I don’t have it around to compare but this one smells exactly like (my memory of) it. I’ve tested two of the other flankers before but I don’t even remember which ones those were, they are all so similar.
This one delivers the usual freshness and tranquility. Awesome for those quiet times spent doing nothing but recharging. Typical vacation scent.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all green tea perfumes smell like…well..green tea. Be it Arden, L’Occitane, Creed, or any other company I’ve tried.
It smells good, but it does get a little boring after a while. I’m not even sure I could tell this one apart from Thé Vert from L’Occitane.
My experience is that if you’ve tried one, you’ll know what the others smell like.
Still nice though.
Prickle – :
I love green tea as a beverage (hot or iced, depending on mood), as ice cream, as a note in fragrance…I like green tea just about any way I can get it. I like most of the green tea fragrances I’ve smelled over the years (L’Occitane has a whole line of tea fragrances that are simply perfect).
However, I do not like EA Green Tea at all…it just doesn’t work for me. I have tested several of the flankers and didn’t particularly like any of them either. This one does give me hope. The combination sounds delightful. I am all about the green tea with bamboo, galbanum, Orris, mastic, violet and tamarind leaves and grapefruit and bergamot. Fingers crossed that this one will work for me!
