Why Thymes ever got rid of their Green Tea Cologne is a mystery to me. This crisp, fresh green floral is so soft and feminine that it is hard to imagine why the company ever felt the need to deny us this pleasure. Fortunately, this fragrance is back in their collection!
 
The fragrance opens with a brisk rush of green tea that soon meets up with Moroccan rose that curbs the crispness, lightening it to a sheerer scent, more green than floral. 

As the scent warms in the heart, notes of honey and spices add a delectable sweetness to the mix that gives it an interesting depth. Those warm and spicy notes make for an irresistible soft and sensual fragrance.

Undeniably earthy and seductive, the base is powdery and exquisitely alluring with earthy notes of warm amber, cedarwood, oak, and teak. 
This is a charming fragrance that I know would appeal to anyone, especially those that love green scents. With its lightness, I think Green Tea Cologne would be appropriate for day or night. 

The 3.25 oz. Green Tea Cologne retails for $60 at Thymes.  Do look for this fragrance.

Thymes Classics Ginger Milk Cologne Review

Due to popular demand, Thymes brought back several of their discontinued fragrances in their Classics line.  Ginger Milk was one of the four that returned to this collection that also saw the return of Fig Leaf & Cassis, Sleep Well, and Green Tea.  Though I missed the opportunity to try this delicate citrus fragrance laced with spice when it first arrived on the market, I can see why the company had to do the right thing and bring it back once I got a whiff of this cologne.

With the way its uplifting notes of ginger played with the lime as the fragrance opened and later tangled with the zesty tamarind notes in the heart, this perfumista was immediately drawn into its intriguing, modern aroma.  

The artful combination gives this haunting mix a lightness to the spice and tangy citrus that is as uniquely different and precious as a beautiful snowflake--except this one does not melt as it warms like its counterpart. Instead the well-chosen notes add an element of comfort to this lovely, refreshing puzzle with the graceful hold this feminine fragrance exerts. 

As the fragrance dries down, it becomes deliciously sheer and enticing with creamy vanilla, cucumber and amberette seed, weaving a seductive spell that you can't let go of.

If what I'm describing sounds like your type of fragrance, I definitely recommend visiting Thymes.  The 3.25 oz. Ginger Milk Cologne retails for $60.  Also products in the collection include Bath & Shower Gel ($25), Body Lotion ($33), and Home Fragrance Mist ($17).

Take it from me, Mary B., there is good reason Thymes brought Ginger Milk back--it is a fragrance treasure!

Experience This Liberating Scent--Thymes Fig Leaf & Cassis Bath & Shower Gel From Their Classics Line (Review)

Fig Leaf & Cassis is one of the four scented lines brought back by popular demand by Thymes and reissued as Thymes Classics.  Though I never tried it previously, I got a chance to see what made this complex gourmand so appealing when I was sent the Bath & Body Gel to experience.

Imagine bathing with a liberating scent that breaks down your inhibitions and brings out your most sensual self as you luxuriate in that tub--only the walls of your bathroom are no longer there along with your tub.  Instead, you're inhaling that fresh green aroma of verdant fig leaves, sweet cassis, juniper berries with tangy mandarin, feeling like your tub is suddenly plunged in the middle of some tropical paradise where lush green foliage, ripe fruits and exotic woods are in the warm, balmy air.  The longer you bask in that sun and those cypress notes emerge, the more your worries seem to travel, almost as far away as this secret place.

What started as a fresh green scent does meld into a warm sweet, woody scent that is clean and simple, but unavoidably sexy with the power to lift your spirits.  Now that I sampled this scent, I am hooked.  I need to try the Fig Leaf & Cassis Cologne next to compare the composition of the scent in that form.

If what I describe sounds like your type of fragrance, then do look into Thymes Classics Fig Leaf & Cassis Bath & Body Gel ($25) and other products in this line and see how far it will carry you away!
