Beaver Moon: Green Tea & Cookie Dough

Green Tea & Cookie Dough.

[bellumed]

First? Oh, boy!

 

The bottle scent makes me think of fancy ice cream, which I suppose makes sense. I don't think I've ever had a green tea ice cream, but I have had an Earl Grey one (shout-out to Van Leeuwen), and that's what this reminds me of - bittersweet in a balanced way, not strongly one or the other.

 

On skin, I get more of the scent of raw cookie dough, still with the tea leaves keeping it from going sugar-sweet. No chocolate chips here, just the dough.

 

If you are foodie-curious but find them excessively sugary or just generally prefer a subtle scent that is only slightly sweet, I highly recommend this!

This is definitely a jasmine green tea. When wet, I get the sharpness of the tea and the jasmine goes awry and does an indolic cat pee thing. Fortunately, once it begins to dry down, the jasmine moves into the background and the cookie dough comes out. This is a plain cookie dough - no chocolate and no spices. It’s subtly sweet, but it’s tempered by the acidity of the tea. I get only the slightest hint of floral at this point. This is very light scent that wears close to the skin and is quite lovely after you get past the initial phase.

I wish I got what either of the other reviews did. I really am perplexed sniffing this one. I can't actually name what I'm smelling. It smells nice but if I didn't know it was green tea and cookie dough, I'd never pick either of those notes. Ok mayyybe I'd eventually get to a jasmine green tea but even then it's a watercolor of that tea. I'm not turned off by this and didn't feel the need to scrub, I just couldn't say what it was doing for me in any which way.

Slighty buttery cookie dough with a gorgeous jasmine tea. Slightly vegetal and not citrusy like some green tea notes can be. Fresh but cozy. A beautiful gourmand-ish.

When I first tested this, I couldn't smell the green tea at all. I get a very strong almond note from this that's giving me cherry almond vibes. I haven't tried it in a while, but I think it's kind of reminiscent of the cherry/almond cookie scent I got from Lilith the Explorer. Some days later, I tried it layered with its moon, and I could smell the green tea in the layering combo. And now that the scent has had plenty of time to settle, I get both the intense almond-y cookie dough note and the green tea, with more of almondy dough than tea. Maybe this is supposed to be like sugar cookie dough, but the baker's hand slipped and they added way more almond extract than they had intended.

 

I was really hoping that this would feature the cookie dough note from Pandemic Vanitas. I don't dislike it and will probably keep my bottle, but it's not my favorite duet from the Beaver Moon 2025 collection. (That award goes to Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar.)
