Green Tea Deodorant 40ml

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Deodorant 40ml is a grooming product rather than a perfume, and it is worth saying so plainly: this is the Green Tea accord in a form you apply after a shower and then forget about.

The scent is the clean, dry idea the range is known for. Bergamot and lemon give an immediate citrus snap, closer to zest than to juice, and green tea follows with the leafy bitterness of hot water poured over leaves rather than anything bottled and sugared. Jasmine softens the middle, and celery seed does the clever thing, adding a cool green saltiness that keeps the whole accord from smelling like plain soap. Underneath that, amber warms it slightly, oakmoss brings a damp earthiness and musk smooths everything so the finish stays close to the skin. In a deodorant that base matters more than it sounds, because it is what carries the scent on fabric through a day at work rather than letting it vanish by eleven in the morning.

Use it as you would any deodorant, on clean dry skin, and give it a moment to settle before dressing. At 40ml it is a compact format, easy to keep in a gym bag, a desk drawer or a weekend case, and it sits comfortably alongside the rest of the Green Tea line rather than competing with it. If you already wear the fragrance, this is the quiet way to extend it through the day without adding another spray.

Elizabeth Arden started as a salon on Fifth Avenue in New York and grew from there into skincare, cosmetics and fragrance. Its perfumes are not farmed out to a licensee: Revlon completed its acquisition of the company in September 2016 and has made them since.
