What does Thé Noir 29 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer a little further back. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It reads a touch more masculine than feminine, though it is a unisex fragrance.

Black tea and bay leaf give it a green, spicy edge, while fig adds a fruity sweetness. Bergamot brightens it, cedarwood and vetiver build a woody ground, and musk softens the whole. Alexandria Fragrances Mystère #29 and Dossier Citrus Tea have a close profile.
