Review of Acqua Originale - Asian Green Tea
When you first experience Acqua Originale - Asian Green Tea by Creed, you're greeted with an immediate sense of freshness. This is due in large part to the prominent bergamot and lemon, which lend a vibrant citrusy zest to the fragrance. However, this perfume is not a one-note wonder. It possesses a complexity that unfolds as the scent evolves on the wearer's skin.
The heart of the fragrance is the eponymous Asian Green Tea. This note, coupled with the subtly sweet heliotrope and slightly powdery violet, imparts a sense of tranquility and balance. This serene heart is tempered with a touch of sweet rose and blackcurrant, adding a hint of playfulness to the otherwise calming composition.
The scent settles into a base of soft musk and sandalwood, a nod to the traditional woody undertones prominent in many Creed fragrances. While the longevity and sillage may not be as strong as some other offerings from the house, the scent remains distinct and noticeable without being overpowering.
This perfume truly shines in the warmer months, especially during spring and summer. It's versatile enough for daily wear, but has a certain playfulness that also makes it suitable for leisurely moments. However, don't count it out for a business setting - it carries a certain understated elegance that many will appreciate.
Despite being marketed as a unisex fragrance, women seem to be the dominant users. It's not hard to see why, as the scent leans slightly feminine with its soft, floral nuances. Despite this, men who appreciate a fresh, citrusy scent with a twist might also find this enticing.
In summary, Asian Green Tea by Creed is a bright, fresh, and serene fragrance that offers a unique take on citrusy green scents. Its longevity and sillage may leave a little to be desired, but its nuanced scent profile more than makes up for it. Give it a try if you're after a distinctive yet wearable everyday scent.
