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.

Other Tea Fragrances:

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea
L'Occitane Green Tea and Jasmine
CB I Hate Perfume Russian Caravan Tea
Elizabeth W Sweet Tea
Comme des Garcons Series 1: Leaves Tea
Comme des Garcons Series 7: Nomad Tea
Amouage Epic Woman
Creed Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare
Diptyque Eau Duelle

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.

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.

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.

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?
