Sweet Tea by Elizabeth W
I have been wanting to try Elizabeth W's scent called Sweet Tea for a solid year. I am a tea fragrance fan so the mua raves were slowly starting to kill me. A kind soul sent me samples and I was finally able to test several fragrances. I decided that I would take the samples to work and see what my co-workers thought. I thought it would make a very cute blog entry.
My co-workers all chose Sweet Tea. They went nuts. They talked of Lipton tea with wallops of sugar. They loved the sweetness. They starting eyeing my vial.
Sweet Tea's notes are oriental black teas, amalfi lemons and almond honey. It is a great summer fragrance perfect for hot july days in Ohio. If you have been to Ohio in the summer...you know what I am talking about.
The second well received fragrance was a surprise. The office chose Leaves.
Leaves has a woody base of atlas cedar, sandalwood, amber and greens. I was startled by this choice because I work in a office with floral fragrance wearers. Michael Kors is huge along with Vera Wang and Dior.
My co-worker Sue greatly enjoyed Magnolia. Sue stated that the fragrance smelled exactly like her blooming magnolia tree. Sue has a green thumb and was the one opinion I was after. She was impressed with the quality of all the scents. Her personal favorite was also a surprise. Sue loved the vetiver. It is balanced with bergamot.
Elizabeth W offers a full range of products from triple milled soaps to bath oils. My lemmings are the Sweet Tea bath gel and the Asparagus candle.

I think people are much more sophisticated in their taste than the run of the mill products that are purchased would suggest ... kwim? You offered them the experience of more unusual, comparatively well-crafted scents and they responded. Like: if you bring the vials, they will like them. Or something. (It WAS a cute blog post.)
I so agree with M - it WAS a cute post.
Alas, I tried Sweet Tea again today due to references to it both here and at Marina's blog, and... sigh, 'tis bug spray on me. There's a decidedly citronella-esque character to it that overrides any impressions of Tea on me. I'm going to see if I cannot make someone I know test it for me so I can see what others are getting out of it that I am not. Bummer.
I maintain, however, that the best magnolia scent EVER is not a parfum or an eau, but the dry body oils that Lola Cosmetics make. Those Glo-La oils are *divine*, I swear. I SO wish they came as parfum oils, too.
I *love* EW Sweet Tea! I finally swapped for a partial bottle of it, and I really find myself craving it in the hotter weather. It's so refreshing. I covet the bath oil!
I think I have this....I can send it to you because I never wear it.
I will look for it.
I definitely have to try Sweet Tea..I'm a sucker for tea inspired fragrances. My current favorite is Bvlgari White Tea.
