Looking for a GREEN summer scent?

c_la_vee · ‎03-11-2010

I found the perfect one when visiting friends in Miami recently.

We stopped at a drugstore, not your usual chain drugstore, it had all kinds of things I had never seen before, as well as the usual brands.

My friends had to drag me out, it was like finding a treasure trove.

I spotted a huge plastic bottle of splash-on cologne, green cap and bought it.

It's a Spanish brand, Lancry.

LANCRY COLONIA NATURAL

It's the most amazing summer scent.

It's green, no citrus, clean out of the shower scent. Just green, clean, fresh.

I would say it's in the same category as the scent of Irish Spring soap, I don't use that soap but I think it smells nice. I am not sayilng that they smell the same but they are in the same class.

It's probably unisex, actually the whole family can use it.

I love that it's not heavy and there is nothing cloying about it. On me the scent lasts a good 4 or 5 hours.

I only spray on my back and not too much as I can't stand to smell strongly of perfume.

I always have people asking me what I am wearing and it's the kind of scent that if you don't douse yourself in it, you can wear at the office.

To me, it's a summer scent only.

Oh and, huge bottle really cheap.

I have since found that it is sold online as well.

I put some in a smaller spray bottle as I don't like spash-on too much.

And it's not like the classic, original Eau de Cologne scent at all.

This scent sounds like something I might be interested in trying. First, though, I'm going to order Westin's White Tea eau de toilette and body lotion. Very clean, light scent. Thanks for the rec.

I enjoy the freshness of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea, sold on HSN.

Does anyone remember, Estee Lauder's, "Aliage"?

Back in the day, that was THE 'green' scent.

I did did a quick Google search for Lancry....saw where Walmart/Sears/etc was selling, but discontinued. Amazon Prime sells a liter (!) for $12. Is this a scent slowly being phased out?

I lean toward Amazing Grace and Bobbi Brown's Beach 'non fragrance' fragrances but last Christmas I received a small roll on bottle of a Nest fragrance called Verde. Nest fragrances are stronger than I usually wear but I do occasionally mix Verde in with my lighter scents. The green notes are fresh and remind of something from my southern California childhood.

The Elizabeth Arden is classic. I used to mix it with water and use for ironing my clothes. It used to be abundant at TJ Maxx but I haven't been there in awhile.
