Fruit Tea with Flowers Inside

Hm, before I start, I’d like to ask you something:
Who among you feels like having a cup of tea? :)

Well, I’m writing this comment for you, which means anyone who wants tea has to make it themselves (…erm, I mean the tea of course…!!!) :D
I’ll wait!

… *waiting*

So, does everyone have tea now? Argh, wait, the one in the back row is drinking coffee… so out you go! And the one up front just put milk in her tea, what a travesty, you can go out with the coffee drinker… *grumble grumble*

Alright, I’ll tell the rest of you about this tea scent here, once again from Elizabeth Arden :D

**The Scent:**
The scent starts with a variety of fruits that smell sweet and, of course, fruity, although it’s initially a bit difficult to identify the individual fruits. Apricot, yes, that could be, nectarine too, which initially reminds me a bit of peach iced tea.
In addition, I smell floral notes that take away some of the freshness from the scent (at least in my opinion), as they quickly start to smell stuffy, which I personally don’t like very much.
The green tea is not so easy to detect here, as it comes across much weaker compared to the other Green Tea scents from Elizabeth Arden.
In the base, the scent becomes a bit sweeter, but not because of the fruits, rather from the musk. In the background, the scent remains a bit stuffy due to the floral notes (although thankfully these have become weaker than at the beginning) and you can still smell the fruits reasonably well. Only the tea is quite weak and hardly present anymore.

**The Sillage and Longevity:**
The sillage is comparable to most tea scents from Elizabeth Arden and will be noticeable to others for a short time when up close, while for oneself, it lasts a little longer. However, you will probably need to spray the scent several times a day if you want to smell it.
You can also orient yourself to all the other Green Tea scents for longevity, so it lasts about four or five hours.

**The Bottle:**
The bottle is tall and flat. This time it comes in an orange color, which fits the name (nectarine). Instead of a large green leaf, there are flowers this time, which are probably nectarine blossoms. The cap is large and orange. Quite nice, as usual.

So… how do I find the scent? The two who were thrown out earlier get another chance to hear my conclusion. Let’s bring them back in!
*opens door*

The tea drinker: “So? Can I get milk for my tea again?”
Me: “Okay, throw her out again!!”
The coffee drinker: “Can I come in if I want to drink tea?”
Me: “Alright, you can come in!”
The tea drinker: “But she puts milk in it too! Even if it’s coffee, it’s the same!!”
Me: “Coffee and tea are the same?? Out! You are hereby banned from the tea circle!!”

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against coffee, I actually love it, but this is like a gathering of tea lovers, and coffee drinkers have no place here, mu ha ha ha he he :DD

Well, the scent:
I actually find Nectarine Blossom not bad. The fruity notes smell good and appear fresh, just made for summer. It’s just that the floral notes at the beginning bother me a bit. However, this stuffy note becomes weaker later on, so the scent overall smells quite nice. If you don’t like stuffy floral notes as much as I do, you really just have to endure the heart note for about 10-15 minutes. After that, the scent becomes much nicer!

In any case, the scent is meant for warm days. A scent that can be worn all day long and doesn’t disturb anywhere, well, at least the sillage isn’t too high. So it can also be worn at work or something.

The good thing about Arden scents is that there seems to be a suitable Green Tea scent for everyone. Here, fruit and flower fans will find their match. A simple scent, pleasantly fragrant and also affordable, so you really can’t go wrong. Unless, of course, you don’t like to smell fruity!

Well, then I don't need it. I'm not really a fan of fruity scents.

I don't think it's bad either, but unfortunately, I can hardly smell any tea. I can also agree about the longevity; most Ardens unfortunately don't last very long.

I can't stand fruit teas; they're a nightmare for me, and most fruit scents too. But nice comment, and I'm currently having tea... black, very black with milk, which you can't stand.
