What does Black Tea smell like?

Black tea, Chinese osmanthus and Sri Lankan cinnamon read together: the osmanthus sweetness is balanced by the dry side of the tea, cinnamon adds warmth, and aldehydes give a bright, slightly synthetic sheen. Resinous and leathery tones stay in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and nights out, and works at the office too. It doesn't tilt masculine or feminine.
