What does The Tea smell like?

It opens bright and fresh with bergamot, green mandarin orange, rosewood, maesil-cha and Earl Grey tea. The heart carries a soft floral side through jasmine tea, white tea, green tea and black tea. In the base, matcha, boxwood, cedarwood and maté settle it onto a woody, smoky, lightly spicy footing.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these views are still tentative. With no season or occasion votes, the cool character of the tea suggests calm everyday wear. Le Labo Thé Noir 29 and Gallivant Tokyo have a close profile.
