Green Tea Pistachio Crunch Honey Drops Body Cream 500ml
Half a litre of body cream is a serious quantity, and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Pistachio Crunch Honey Drops Body Cream 500ml is priced and sized for people who moisturise properly rather than occasionally.
What it smells of is softer and far sweeter than the rest of the green tea range. Bergamot gives a bright, bitter lift at the top, and pistachio sits immediately underneath it, a green, slightly salted nut smell that is unusual in any scented product and is the reason this one is worth seeking out.
In the middle, green tea is dry and leafy, heliotrope brings a powdery softness, magnolia adds a clean creaminess, and rose water lends a light, washed floral quality rather than the depth of the flower itself. It smells more like a dressing table than a tea cup. The base is where the sweetness collects. Vanilla is warm and round, brown sugar adds a damp, treacly richness, marzipan brings a sweet, pressed paste quality that ties itself to the pistachio above, white amber gives a soft glow, and musk smooths it all down. On skin, as a cream rather than a spray, this stays close and quiet. Body cream behaves differently to fragrance. It is absorbed rather than evaporated, so the scent is subtle, lasts a few hours and sits as a background rather than a statement. It layers well under something stronger, and in winter, when skin takes a beating, a 500ml tub of it lasts a long time.
Elizabeth Arden is an American beauty house whose first premises were a salon in New York, on Fifth Avenue, with skincare, cosmetics and perfume following. Revlon completed its purchase of the company in September 2016 and has made its fragrance and body products ever since.
