What does Earl Grey smell like?

It is not a loud perfume: longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. The number of votes is small, so those ratings are only a rough guide. No particular season or occasion stands out.

Earl Grey tea and bergamot give a citrusy, lightly aromatic start, while eucalyptus and clary sage push the freshness towards green. Cedarwood sets a woody base underneath. The accords also include spice, resin, earth and smoke, which take the tea away from a sweet drink and towards something drier and smokier.
