40 Days and 40 Night of Fragrance Notes: Tea
I got nasty habits, I take tea at three
I have a fascination with tea based fragrances. Tea smells like comfort, leaves, chestnuts and smoke.
My favorite tea scent is Takashimaya's T. It is all kinds of smoke and a thick black tea. It is a hot piping cup of sinister and mystery. It would be the perfect fragrance to wear on the Orient Express or in a Poirot novel.
L'Artisan's Tea For Two is a a whole vat of honey with just a spot of tea. I think the brash honey note scares people off. It is a slightly difficult fragrance to wear.
Susanne Lang's Exotic Tea is a smoldering tea bag. This is a great fall scent. Full of dry leaves and the beginnings of a bonfire.
Barney's Route Du The is a green tea that borders on a cleaning solution. Not a fan.
The new Jo Malone Tea series are pretty fabulous.
The fragrances are Assam & Grapefruit, Earl Grey & Cucumber, Fresh Mint Leaf, Sweet Lemon and Sweet Milk. Sweet milk is my early favorite. It has a toasty almond note with anise and creamy milk.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea
L'Occitane Green Tea and Jasmine

Comme des Garcons Series 1: Leaves Tea

Annie,
One of the Cartier hours fragrances, I think maybe the 13th hour is lapsang souchong all the way, and it is good. Also, Theorema is pure Constant Comment.
I totally agree about the Barney's fragrance.
Griffie
I am loving the new Jo Malone Assam & grapefruit. One of my favorite tea scents is Serge Lutens 5 O'clock au gingembre. And I agree with Griffie about Theorema. I am always interested in trying new tea scents also!
I'm not such a big fan of tea scents, but then again, I am not a tea drinker. But one that I really like is Tocca Bianca.
Taksahimaya T was wonderful. I miss that store so much.
You already listed almost all my tea favourites except Bulgari Black...
i miss the limited edition elizabeth arden 'red door velvet'. spritzing it on was like curling up with a toasty cup of tea under a plush blanket. kept the damp & chill away in fall & winter.sigh.
I love these "fragrance notes"pieces,will miss them when done. Tea,I drink about seven cups of Stash double bergamo Earl Grey a day. Twinings is good too. Just got Jo Malone Earl Grey&cucumber fragrance,it suits me to "T."
Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan and Atelier Cologne Oolang Infini are my favorite tea scents.
Love the 40 Days series! :)
Love tea scents. AG Duel is a fabulous one. Osmanthus Interdite is a great floral tea. Recent favorite is Atelier Oolang Infini. It's a lovely sheer tea for warmer weather.
Forgot to mention AG Eau du Fier.
I love tea fragrances! I just got a sample of Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan and it is absolutely gorgeous. I have and love Jo Malone's Earl Grey & Cucumber and I'm probably going to purchase Assam & Grapefruit this weekend as well. I liked Fresh Mint Leaf but couldn't see myself really wearing it. I really like L'Occitane's Green Tea, and I do like their Bergamot Tea as well on some occasions though it's a little bit murky on me for some reason.
And Tocca Bianca and Parfums de Nicolai Fig Tea are on my to try list (particularly the Fig Tea since I adore fig too). And now also many of the fragrances you & the other commenters have listed. =)
I LOVE tea!! Too much. I loved Beth Terry perfumes - all tea based. I also like Tocca's Bianca fragrance. http://www.candlesoffmain.com/tocca-bianca-edp.aspx Tea, lemon, sugar and a touch of rose. Perfect on a hot summer day!
I love Sweet Milk from Jo Malone collection too!
Liking the Earl Grey and Assam and Grapefruit from that collection too.
Late to the party, but I like Bulgari's Au The Rouge and the Demeter Earl Grey. Anyone know of one that smells like Lapsang Souchong tea?
