Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Created by a meticulous fermentation process, the aroma of black tea changes throughout the fragrance, not unlike an actual tea bag steeped in hot water. It starts out earthy and raw, then gently develops a floral, sweet olfactive backdrop that plays nicely with all the other notes in the composition. No matter which other note or accord black tea is paired with, it is always going to elevate it and allow for a more sensuous effect.

Fragrance family
Amber
Refreshed by aromatic or citrus facets, Oriental scents draw their richness and sophistication from precious substances such as amber, resin, tobacco, spices, exotic woods and animal notes. Fragrances in this family are creamy, addictive and linger on the skin.

    Black tea and paperback books on an autumn afternoon
    This has been my favorite scent so far! This to me smells like black tea and the pages of old paperback books in the best way. The scent is not at all heavy but it does last all day. This is a perfect scent for a work environment where something too strong might bother other people. I need more of this!

    This one smells of burnt leather. Somewhat chemically. Not sure who would wear this.
