What does White Tea smell like?

It opens with white tea, and the heart brings a soft floral feel from lily of the valley and gardenia, with cardamom and white pepper adding a gentle spicy edge. In the base, maté tea and musk leave it slightly sweet and powdery.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without weight. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most. About half of voters read it as feminine. Penhaligon's Gardenia and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lilia Bella have a close profile.
