By the editors · 2 min readMint, lemon, and bergamot open with clean, effervescent brightness — a characteristic green freshness that's cool, slightly herbal, and immediately readable as the fragrance that defined a generation of spa-clean scents in the late 1990s.
Oakmoss and jasmine form the heart — an unusual pairing that gives the fragrance more structural weight than most green tea scents attempt. The jasmine here is not sweet but clean and slightly green; the oakmoss provides a mossy, earthy foundation that the top notes don't suggest.
Amber, clove, and a persistent oakmoss anchor the base, giving Green Tea a dry-down that's warmer and spicier than the opening implies. Deceptively simple at first sniff, but genuinely layered when worn. A perennial warm-weather classic that has earned its staying power.
