It was one of those things, from a targeted ad. I saw this perfume on sale from those on-sale-for-a-day sites. I was intrigued about the green tea, because I love tea scents. It is by Vera Wang Embrace, which I had never heard about. ‘Green Tea and Pear Blossom’ sounds like an interesting combinations, and I thought that the scent is pretty much fool proof. At worst, I thought to myself, it would be a pleasant fruity floral.

It turns out that the perfume is actually very nice.It is of the Jo Malone vein – fruity and fresh – and it makes you smell like you just stepped out of the shower. The green tea accord is there, and it is very nice, well blended and not too dry (I like it drier, for sure, but I am not complaining here) There is a slice of bergamot here and the pear blossom is nice and sweet, but not sickeningly so. The scent stays close to the skin, but the thing is so cheap that I can reactivate it sparingly. I say this is a win.
