What does Imperial Tea smell like?

Green tea and bergamot set a bright, citrusy frame. Egyptian jasmine sambac absolute adds a soft floral sweetness, while laminaria deepens the green character. Musk and vetiver stay in the background and hold it together, with a light spicy touch.

Most voters pick spring and summer. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Nishane Colognisé and Régalien Dem have a close profile.
