Exotic scent

THE goodness of green tea is often touted in skincare. Elizabeth Arden takes it one step further by incorporating the drink into its latest scent, Green Tea Exotica.

Perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux was inspired by the plumeria and hibiscus flowers he encountered while on an expedition to Costa Rica. The fragance is a harmonious fusion of tea notes, fresh citrus and aromatic spearmint contrasted with lush and exotic florals, blending with earthy woods and sheer musk tones.

The top notes comprise bergamot, sicilian lemon as well as kaffir limes from Malaysia, the middle notes offer Brassavola orchid, Rangoon Purple Vine, green tea and Pancratium lily, leading to a dry down of mahogany wood and ambrette seeds.

Available at Elizabeth Arden counters.

Party Prep

Arrive in Style

Never arrive at a party early even if it’s your best friend’s do. Or else you’ll end up mixing and serving the drinks. Turn up fashionably later, at least an hour after the appointed time, but only if it is not a sit-down dinner. With all that prepping you’ll want to make an entrance, don’t you?
