Tea perfumes<\/strong> are brewing up a storm right now\u2014but their origin story goes way, way back. According to legend, tea was discovered in 2737 BC, very much by accident. Chinese emperor Shen Nung<\/a> was sitting under a tree as his servant boiled drinking water. When some leaves landed in the pot, the emperor tried the infusion and called it “refreshing and invigorating.” A happy accident that would become the world’s most beloved ritual, shaping cultures from London to Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But nothing about today’s tea perfumes\u2014or their current popularity\u2014is accidental. Complex, nuanced, and wildly varied, they’re the sophisticated antidote to the current wave of sweet gourmands and barely-there musks (not that we\u2019re complaining\u2014we have a lot of love for both\u2014but you do need to change things up sometimes). Tea perfumes and related searches are up 65%<\/a>, so you know, the numbers are there.

Time to get acquainted with the notes everyone’s talking about\u2014black tea, white tea, mat\u00e9 and matcha\u2014and the trending tea perfumes<\/strong> to add to your rotation right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
