WoodyWhat does Tribal Black Tea smell like?
Sicilian bergamot and Assam tea open it bright and green. Jasminum auriculatum adds a soft floral heart, and the base of cardamom, cedar and nutmeg brings a dry, lightly spiced finish.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads as in between. Its profile is close to Bigarade Concentrée and Cologne Bigarade.
