What does Black Tea smell like?
Most voters suggest it for daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and night out playing a smaller part. Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. Most voters find it feminine.
Clementine gives a bright opening, then black tea and vanilla sweeten the heart. In the base, tonka bean, musk and cedarwood settle it onto a soft, powdery, lightly woody ground. The fresh, fruity side blends with a gourmand sweetness. Kenzo ☮ by Kenzo and Burberry Burberry for Women have a close profile.
