Description
The Green Tea collection starts with the first fragrance – Green Tea from 1999 and has added numerous editions so far, such as: Green Tea Lotus, Green Tea Lavender, Green Tea Revitalize, Green Tea Exotic etc.
The latest edition will calm you down with exotic tea notes decorated and refreshed with camellia flowers. It was inspired by ikebana, ancient Japanese art of arranging flowers and reveals the floral camellia scent which opens petal by petal as the scent develops.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia bestows such aromas as bergamot, yuzu, lemon and green tea, adding accords of Chinese camellia, white peony, magnolia, jasmine, mandarin blossom and fruity plum nuance, resting on a base composed of musk, birch, moss and sweet spices.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia is available as 50ml EDT and 100ml EDT.
Green Tea Camellia was launched in 2011.

Very inoffensive scent with a refreshing composition of green tea, camellia and citrus. Not long lasting and more of a skin scent for me. Love using this at home when I want to wear a light perfume but not feel like I am wearing any. Very cheap to buy.
Silent91 – :
There are many camellia species and varieties that are fragrant – Camellia kissi – lemon, C. grijsii – anise, C, lutchuensis – sultry jasmine, Camellia “Cinnamon Cindy” – cinnamon, C. “Fragrant Pink” – osmanthus. Once I had cammellia essential oil – it possessed scent of musk, cinnamon and cloves.
Camellia kissi is used in many hair care produts (oils, shampoos) and they always smell of lemon/grapefruit.
Green Tea Camellia is citrusy fragrance, unisex (more masculine then the rest of green teas I’ve sniffed). It’s a little bit similar to Green Tea Bamboo which is more “grassy”, airy and less citrusy.
I can scent: green tea + grapefruit + lime + strong oak moss note (salty, aseptic, lisol-like) + “oceanic” washing powder + anise (adds some sweetness).
I guess the grapefruit/ lime note is the listed camellia (Camellia kissi).
The combination of bitter grapefruit, salty oak moss and “oceanic” washing powder is typical of many colognes for men or unisex perfumes (the same note in Dalimix). It reminds me momentarily something from the past – an far echo of…Eau Torride? (but more masculine and fresh).

I purchased EA’s Green Tea many years back and just didn’t feel it was my type of fragrance. I much preferred her 5th Avenue which was less harsh in the opening. I’m glad I gave her other Green Tea scents a chance.
Saying that this fragrance “opens petal by petal” is quite accurate.
I’m so glad someone mentioned this– I used Camellia one day and used Exotic the next. I could not tell much of a difference between the two, so I will be passing the Camellia along to my sister, as I much prefer the notes in the Exotic.
Camellia opens with a harsh citrus smell (probably the lemon and green tea). It dissipates fairly fast. The jasmin, mandarine, white peony, and magnolia come through next.
By the time it’s settled after at least an hour or two, the warm musk and spices linger but not for long.
The longevity and sillage are not that great in my opinion. The fragrance starts out with a blast but will definitely not sustain for a whole day. You’d have to refresh it at some point during the day, but preferably NOT in your neck area.
I spray this on my top so the fragrance can last a little longer.
Bottom line: while I like this fragrance, I wouldn’t repurchase it, since I like the Exotic better, which smells quite similar to this one.
GiliusTM – :
At first very harsh citrus and green tea opening, which softens dramatically after 10 minutes.
Camelia, peony and jasmine blend in with the green tea note harmoniously and create a soft, “creamy” floral perfume. There’s some subtle fruityness to be discovered, but it doesn’t turn the whole composition into a fruity perfume at all.
The green tea note disappears at this stage, leaving behind a fresh creamy floral impression.
In the summer I can see this being used in the evening.
Longevity quite good for a perfume of the EA Green Tea line.

Despite the lengthy list of notes for this fragrance, all I smell is white flowers with the barest hint of citrusy tea in the background. As others have mentioned, it’s reminiscent of a fresh, creamy soap or shampoo…that’s not a bad thing, just what it reminds me of.
For me, definitely a like, not a love.
uthfrk – :
Even though bamboo and watermelon are not listed I can definitely smell them in this one.
Deroxajpvq – :
My favourite after the cherry blossom in Green Tea line.
Fresh and floral.
Very unique and feminine.
Doesn’t last long like the others in the range but worth it.

This was a little disappointment for me, I had a big hope for this perfume but it’s a more masculine cheap cologne for my nose. I prefer original GT…
Mikrack – :
Light, airy but creamy floral. It’s really pretty and very soothing to wear. The silage is fantastic and what I adore about this is that it gets more “creamy” as the hours go by. It’s just lovely and is my favorite of all the Green Tea perfumes. I hope that Elizabeth Arden will never discontinue it.

When faced with a line-up of 5 of the EA Green Tea line what would you do? Well I was intrigued by the idea of the scent of camellia (our garden has always had a camellia or three but they have all been unscented).
I was so stunned by what I actually got. The sparkling citrus opening is fresh but not harsh. Then after a few minutes the soft floral notes come through.
It’s sheer and subtle and perfect for a pick-me-up on a hot humid day.
Edit: it may be less tea-y than the others I have sniffed but I actually prefer it that way.
MerTwec – :
Got this as part of a 4pc Green Tea mini set for Christmas (great for traveling) and brought it with me to Hawaii on vacation (can’t wear such light scents at home when it’s -40 out).
I’d say this definitely smells less lemony than the original Green Tea, and most of the citrus and tea have been replaced with a light breezy floral.
I’m not a big floral person, most give me a headache, but this just smells like a really fresh shampoo or bodywash, and is great for warm weather. Makes you smell fresh and clean.

Very fresh and very aquatic and citrusy. I would best describe this perfume as iced lemon tea. Very innocent and best suited to the relaxed laid-back girl in spring and summer. Go for this if you are looking for something refreshing!
trias – :
I cannot tell the difference between this one and Green tea Exotic. This one is pretty similar to Exotic one. Anyway, they are all refresh .
SERGEY1 – :

LenaBar69 – :

Oh wow! Green tea and camellia-what a fabulous idea. The perfume begins on the classic EA Green Tea opening, within a few minutes the yuzu emerges and makes it a bit sweeter and sparkling.
Within about 15 minutes the camellia appears bringing in a clean and creamy floral arrangement. The musk and woody notes are whisper light, but present. The fragrance does have good projection and lasted around 6 hours without having to reapply. One of my favorites of the Green Tea line. Rating 8 out of 10. Suitable for office, casual, spring and summer wear.
Almat001kz – :
Extraordinarily clean and smooth citrus aromatic! Absolutely perfect for sweltering heat and humidity. A sparkling opening of fresh citric purity embraced by an elegantly light and smooth green tea accord folds out like an elegant origami crane into an exquisitely blended heart of camellia, white peony, magnolia, clean jasmine, and mandarin blossom. A tantalizingly fine base of delicate spices, woods, moss, and white musk sustains this balanced composition which leaves wispy tendrils of zen-like tea ceremony freshness in its trail. No acridity, bitterness, or overdone sourness here to spoil the perfect serenity. Tranquil, uncluttered summer refinement.

terek7en – :
refreshing scent i wear it all the time
Omarygllo – :
it really smells like camellia, I think that camellia is the only one note which I can smell, but it is not rich and luxurious, it is cheap camellia scent from drug store
lyolya – :
sounds nice, must have it

Oh finally you got this one in the database! I’ve had the chance (and luck) to try it at the airport just the other day!I love all the green tea line, and this one is just amazing! Starts fresh and then becomes such a soft, slightly sweet, floral! And it seemed to last longer than any other EA green teas! My second favourite after the green tea tropical. I’m gonna get it next time i fly back, the price is very affordable as well!
