Review Of: Elizabeth Arden, Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner

My post is also on AC.

I fell in love with Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea fragrance years ago. I was given a small perfume vile of the scent and forever found a fragrance soul mate. A scent so thirst quenching, mouth watering, refreshing, and natural.

The scent however did not gain much recognition until more recently. Now you can find the addicting juicy fragrance being sold as deodorant sticks, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.

My most recent find was Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner. The shampoo came in a large set which contained shower gel, conditioner, and a nice 1 ounce bottle of the perfume. Most perfumed shampoos and conditioners usually dry out my hair, but do a wondrous job at leaving behind the scent. I'm here to discuss how well Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner panned out.

First is the scent. The shampoo and conditioner has the same sense striking scent as the perfume does. It's refreshing, natural, and has a very slight tint of what reminds me of mint mixed with tea. The mint refreshes the senses without overpowering it, while the green tea scent creates a calming mood. For me the scent is more like aromatherapy.

The shampoo itself came in a small trial sized squeeze tube. You are capable of seeing through it, and clearly the shampoo is a light green see through color. The conditioner comes in a see through tube as well, and the conditioner is a creamy white color.

The lather works up really well as far as the shampoo goes, and the scent fills the air as you are working it into the scalp. After rinsing the shampoo from my hair though I realized that it left my hair feeling quite parched and thirsty for some moisture.

Rinsing with the sister conditioner however did not provide much moisture at all. I had to actually add some of my own moisturizing conditioner to my hair in order to lift the dry feeling from it.

Results:

As far as results go, I would say that the shampoo smells wonderful, as does the conditioner, unfortunately though it does nothing when it comes to moisturizing hair. Had I not paired up with one of my conditioners my hair would have been left dry and frizzy.

Overall:

Although I love the scent, the shampoo is one to skip on. The conditioner is no better. It's pretty unfortunate too, because they smell fantastic.

Elizabeth Arden, Green Tea Cream Review! Tantalizing Scented Pitts!!!

I sort of sweat a lot, so I use Degree deodorant for men to rid myself of any leakage during hot summer days. It works like a charm. Even though its cool rush scented, it does not give off a cool rush scent for when I grow hot.

I was given a small plastic container of Elizabeth Arden, Green Tea Cream Deodorant.

Usually girly deodorants don't do much for me. They tend to smell great for awhile, but don't protect from sweating. If you sweat than the nice scent turns to funk.

I decided to try Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cream Deodorant alone, and then I used it by pairing it with my usual deodorant.

Here's what happened:

When used alone, the cream deodorant smells fantastic. It has a lovely fresh earthy tone to it, which I absolutely adore. I adore the perfume as well, and I knew I would love the scent of the deodorant.

Whenever I grew hot, the scent would kick up a notch, and give off a gorgeous fragrance.

As far as protecting me from sweat though it only did a decent job. It did protect, but not as fully as I would have liked.

I tried it out again by applying first my usual Degree brand, and then a small dab of the Green Tea Cream Deodorant. The result was spectacular.

While my usual brand protected my pits from sweat, the deodorant cream gave off the tantalizing green tea fresh scent.

Now if Degree would get together with Elizabeth Arden, they could create one hell of a fantastic deodorant!

All in all, I highly recommend it. Although it's not perfect on it's own, when paired with another deodorant it works like a charm.

For those who don't sweat often at all, you can use it alone.
