Tea

This edit explores the tea theme in perfume. It’s only natural that this aromatic plant, rich in pleasant smelling essential oils made it into fragrance as a fancy perfume note.

Perfumers use tea in two ways: either they utilize the beauty of the natural material and use tinctures or absolutes; otherwise tea could be part of a story (and not necessarily be a natural material but an accord). Sometimes one has to invent a fantasy tea note for the Mad Hatter’s tea party or the East India’s tea warehouse settings. This edit covers both approaches: tea as a natural material, rich woody, musky, sometimes fruity and plenty of perfumes with imaginary tea accords.
