If you have ever fallen in love with a scent only to see it discontinued later, then you know how I felt when Bath & Body Works discontinued their White Tea & Ginger line several years ago. I absolutely loved the body spray especially, and stocked up on several bottles of it when it began to disappear from stores. Since then, they repackaged and released it once again as a limited-edition "flashback fragrance", but I still have one bottle left, so I haven't tried the new version yet.
Left: Bath & Body Works, Right: Avon
However, I
have tried the latest scent from Avon in their Naturals line, called Green Tea & Verbena, and let me tell you: it's almost a dead ringer for my old favorite!
In comparison, I would have to say that on my skin (everyone's is different) the White Tea spray smells slightly "warmer," while Avon's Green Tea has a floral-lime tone to it. After about an hour of wear, White Tea has a sort of "cedar" smell mixed with lemon; while Green Tea has faded, but smells still like the original scent. (Please pardon my lack of scent-describing skills! I'm working on it.)
For extra staying power, I may pick up the body wash or lotion, but no matter what, I'm thrilled to have this kind of scent available to me through Avon!
Thanks for reading!
