What does Silver Needle Tea smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. On character, feminine leads, though masculine and modern both draw a fair share of votes.

Bergamot and herbs give a bright, citrusy freshness, with sage adding the green edge. Mimosa and rose absolute bring a soft, lightly sweet floral note, while musk settles it into a powdery, creamy base. Prada Infusion de Mimosa and Huygens Les Roses have a close profile.
