Really nice, and at least unisex. I could imagine this being marketed to men by a major designer, then discontinued, then everybody wants it. The caraway, celery, cloves, and fennel, combined with the tea note, create depth and richness, but there's also the citrus and mint, which take it a different direction (without a note clash). Amber and rhubarb soften and sweeten it up a bit, and I didn't get any synthetic qualities. Not strong but not weak either, with just one spray used. And it goes through clear transitions. I have not tried the original so I can't compare.

Slightly more green, bitter, fresh spicy and aromatic than the original, and higher projection, but longevity is largely the same, maybe an hour longer at the most. If I have to be honest, save yourself the money and just get the original and spray it on more, the increase in longevity is near non-existent and you can boost projection by just spraying the original more.

This is top tier, this perfume is so cheap but still so good, one of my all time fav perfume especially the intense one, it lasting much more longer than the original. I love it!

cocolover56

The intensity of this version is actually reasonably impressive, the spices are one of the first things I noticed (although I mistook them for pepper) and they sort of elevate and enhance what was a somewhat soft and inoffensive fragrance. With the right moisturiser, this can actually leap beyond the 4 hour point. Keep in my, however, that my experience is that this is also true for the original.

As we all should probably know, when the word 'Intense' is used in a fragrance title, this doesn't necessarily mean that the fragrance will last longer. It simply means that it's presence will be stronger for the time that it is around. An amped up version of the original. This may mean it'll last longer, that it will seem like it lasts longer because the notes don't soften down to quickly or that it won't - either way, please don't buy this thinking that it will last longer. You may be disappointed. What will hopefully impress users though, is that this fragrance doesn't fall victim to the curse that many 'Intense' versions seem to. They usually are panned by many because they become screechy or lose the subtlety that the originals had. The original green tea wasn't entirely subtle or refined to begin with, so there's no real danger of that.

What has happened here is that Green Tea EdP has been given some more 'oomph' and has even been made slightly more complex (spices and the rhubarb is actually detectable. Huzzah!)

Try this if you're a fan of the line, the original or even if you haven't tried any of them before. It's still inoffensive, but it's still beautiful and as gorgeous as ever.

I've heard this one is trying to be Bvlgari eu the vert, which I dislike. Too sweet. I only like the EA Green Teas for their crispness, but I am curious to try Intense.

Well its over 40 degrees here and my bottle of Green Tea Intense has arrived on just the right day for it.

The initial smell is an overpowering citrus/ozone mix, quite sharp and surprising. However after half an hour it has dried down to a fresh, clean linen smell with a faint hint of powder.

Perfect for a day when you want your fresh perfume to last, but anything sweet would just give you a headache.

It's also a bargain.

Rianna

I love this, it's really refreshing and different. It's a tea shirt and jeans perfume! You just want to smell shower fresh and clean all day then this is for you. There's something in it that keeps drawing you in to smell it!!! It's really quite beautiful and so clean smelling. I think it lasts, I'm not keen on long lingering perfumes that suffocate you through the day to the point you go off them. This won't do that it just showers you with freshness that other people smell even if you don't.

The Swedish girl

Sharp. Bitter.
Smells like a christmas tree.

silentman26

An amazing refreshing, uplifting scent. Big splash of fresh lemon, joined by crashed peppermint leaves ... mixed with green tea ... An energizing scent that will help you jump-start your day! ... lasts long ... especially in clothes ... projects great ... this is an amazing fresh clean perfume!

KatrinC

Got it because I was hoping its a stronger version of the original, but its a very different smell altogether. Very edgy. Not enjoying it. The original was perfect, but what do I do with a perfume that disappears by the time I get to office?

Coffee King

Picked up a bottle of this for the Summer (lol) as I have always found it a nice fresh uplifting unisex fragrance. Went for the Intense, I am struggling to see what's intense about it. It's got a very citrussy opening, quite feminine, but then the bit I like is the drydown, which is pretty damm good, and fairly masculine. Reminds me of a few of the Men's Bvlgari fragrances I use, al that tea :-). Only difference is Bvlgari lasts, this disappears without trace after about an hour. Arden's fragrances normally have pretty good longevity, this is a little lacking. Nice for the Summer though, have been picking up lots of the matching green tea pieces, and I know we don't review them on here, but the bath salts are amazing.

kiskionok

Very good: inspiring, clean, uplifting. And very aromatic! One of its kind, if you want something more sharp than the classic Green tea by EA.
Spray it, and it won't be mistaken in any occasions.

nutpojjanapimol

Fresh and clean but something is too sharp and crisp and too strong for this kind os scent. These make me cannot stand and have to wash my wrist. I prefer to smell it on other people to let it let it goes with me all day. The silage and longevity are terribly good (as I dislike it I wish it fades asap).

KATERINA LABROPOULOU

Fresh, clean, uplifting, splendid and very aromatic. Would suggest for spring and summer. The lasting power is more than average and lasts whole day if you spray onto clothes as well. I simply love it.

over_caffeine

A longer lasting, full-bodied version of the well loved scent spray from Elizabeth Arden. Green tea intense is impossible to overspray, has amazing sillage and decent lasting power while being suitable for work and closed spaces. Truly a breath of fresh air and a burst of freshness on sweltering Summer days, Green tea intense can wake me up every time i feel lazy or sluggish during busy days.

juliaten

I say a big "YES" to this perfume. It smells so fresh, so green tea, I love smell of green tea. My husband liked this perfume as well (and he is very picky about smells).

Mickey Tollerraine

the theme of the perfume is not so bad, but lasting power is sooo poor , so weak. It stays on your skin just 5 or 5.5 minutes :-)

barbie_18

I regretted this purchase. There is absolutely nothing special about this perfume. Its smells like a faint mixture of sugar and water. Another downside is that it lasts for about an hour on clothes and less on the skin. Can you believe that? I was so pissed after i bought it.

yvonne2013

casual and light touch. This is good to wear for normal activities such as causal dinner, drinks, travelling or even work. The simple n light smell is refreshing. Downside is doesn't last long. not for party or dinner.

username101

I tried Green Tea for the first time when I was about 15 or 16, loved it, but noticed that it didn't stay too long on my skin (I think it doesn't stay long on anyone's skin in general) so I always had to carry the bottle. After like 2 years, I got this one so that I can wear the perfume without having to carry it around, and I have to say it smells "different" than the original Green Tea. I liked the Green Tea for it's citrussy opening, light, airy scent and then the tea note, but this one actually lacks the citrussy/tea/airyness, yet is very sweet and even chemical/artificial. Judge it for yourself. If you really like Green Tea and want it to last long, I guess you'd have to carry it around and spray it.

ecofreak2001

Such a casual, clean and fresh scent. A go to scent for running errands, going shopping or just stay at home chilling and relaxing.

AllieT

Interesting that another reviewer called this masculine ... can see parallels with hubby's EDT spray ...
I love Green Tea, the original and this has the staying power the original lacks, however it's a bit too intense for me, prefer something lighter and more feminine.

CHARLIE11

Don't be deceived by this perfume... when you spray it on ... wait for a ten minutes and then smell it, just gorgeous, fresh and clean smelling and at a fabulous price. So if you want to smell like you have just stepped out of a shower, then this is the one!

gypsy parfumista

Quite a bit different from most green tea scents, this one has a decidedly more masculine feel to it and reminds me of a fresher, softer Halston 1-12 (and they wear together very well). I had 1-12 on when I first tested this on my skin at the EA counter, and it is very nice...

The tea notes are there from start to finish, but this has more longevity and prescence to it, being an EDP. The addition of mint and lemon gives it a twist of citrus and a garnish of sharper green. The oakmoss makes the base more airy and forest-like while musk adds to the overall 'thickness' of the composition.

I can see why some women might be turned off by this and find it too brusque. It lasted longer than 5 hours on my skin and I think it is a good scent for a anyone who likes strong fresh scents and wants something less classic than, say 1-12 or Quorum, and less sophisticated than Eau Parfumee au The Vert Extreme by Bvlgari (with it's juicy orange and sensual spiced rose). This has some floralcy to it but only in a supporting role. All in all a nice (should have been released as) unisex scent for good price; that lasts!

Sillage: above average
Longevity: very good
Overall: 3.5/5

This is like a glass of iced green tea with lemon and a sprig of fresh mint, sipped on a hot day in the shade of a giant oak tree that's overgrown with moss. Cooling, refreshing and satisfying. No one has complained yet and I've sampled it more than 10 times and applied it freely...this is on my short list of new scents to acquire (and not go into debt)... :-)>

sharyssa

I had this one but returned it because the lasting power is no different from regular green tea. And it smells the same maybe a tad bit stronger but I was put off by the dark green color and the old fashioned bottle,not attractive!

margierose

I'm not too crazy for this version of Eizabeth's Arden's Green Tea. Dpn't like the mint lemon notes in it. I gave mine to a friend who likes this type of fragrance. I like her first Green Tea Scent,much better in my opinion
