From your scent profile
Jean-Charles Brosseau Thé Brun is a men's fragrance that opens with cardamom, bergamot and green leaves and settles into Lapsang Souchong tea and vetiver, with a fresh, green and slightly smoky character.
Skunky's take: Plenty say it suits a meeting and a coffee break alike.

EarthyWhat does Thé Brun smell like?
Most voters read it as masculine and lean towards spring and summer, with autumn close behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. Longevity and sillage are moderate.
It opens with cardamom, cinnamon, melon and pineapple, a fresh and lightly spiced start. Violet, lavender and jasmine in the heart add a floral bridge. The base of Lapsang Souchong tea, vetiver, sandalwood and oakmoss gives a woody, faintly smoky, earthy foundation. Aramis Havana and Azzaro pour Homme have a close profile.
