Trying to think of all perfumes that smell like tea or have a tea note. Need help!

Here's some off of the top of my head:


Bulgari Eau Parfumee au The Vert--smells kinda like green tea and money. LOL

Bulgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc--Honestly, I get no tea from this, just a little air and musk?

Lutens Mandarine Mandarin--black tea, orange peel, sandalwood. Like a lacquered box that has held tea.

Essence of Mastenbroek Eau de Polder--smells faintly of fenugreek tea.

Rosine Un Zest de Rose--lemony, rosy, a little green tea

Rosine Poussiere de Rose--I smell a little black tea in there


I'm sure you all can think of more!

Cdg Nomad Tea is another one. I also get a strong tea note from SL Chypre Rouge.

Annick Goutal's Le Chevrefuille smells just like iced tea to me, anyone else??

Mintea Masaka Matsushima (exactly what the name implies, minted tea. very nice)

Eau Parfumee Au The Rouge Bulgari (spicy tea scent)

L'Artisan The Pour un Ete. *my fave tea scent*

Parfums de Nicolai Fig Tea *don't like this one very much*

Lily Prune Fizzy Tea *Pretty good for a cheap perfume @ $9.99 a bottle.*

Moschino Funny *a warm tea scent*

Stephanie de Saint-Aignan Un The Au Sahara *interesting tea scent. When sampling it, I kept smelling cocoa puffs cereal in the drydown.*

Creative Universe -Element of Surprise *Fresh, cool tea scent. Kind of reminds me of The Pour Un Ete*

hm...
Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan (the BVLGARI perfected, perhaps? JCE seems to reference his work a lot)
L'Artisan Tea for Two
wasn't there a Serge Lutens that was based on tea recently, with some rather florid name, Five O'Clock au Gingembre?

Tommy Girl
The Healing Garden Green Tea
(These two smell very similiar to me.)

Yes, I think Osmanthe Yunnan is the apex of the tea genre.

Creed's Royal Delight reminds me a lot of Earl Grey tea.

That smoky note in Bulgari Black is lapsang souchang tea.

I was just going to mention it!

On the lighter side, Carthusia Mediterraneo and Guerlain Lovely Cherry Blossom.

I love Anglomania.

-Noelle

Interesting! I'll have to try one on each wrist and compare them. Don't know which I prefer as Thé Rouge hasn't gotten much action since purchase, and OY is VERY mutable on me, although uniformly lovely in small testing dabs.



This would be my favorite then!

Creative Universe by Beth Terry - Te

It's my favorite tea scent.

...very refreshing.

Smells like iced green tea with a big stalk of celery...

LV Yerbamate smells like bitter green South American mate tea, well, at least the opening does until it morphs into a sweet powdery perfume. ( I know of few other perfumes that make such a startling transformation.)

CdG Sweet Tea

Oh yeah, Five o'clock au Gingembre, there *is* tea in there, Lapsang Souchong?

Geisha M Nobara-Cha, supposed to be tea in there but it did not agree with me at all.

Great recs, everyone, keep 'em coming!

.

This is the scent that put me off tea scents



and the Lutens 5O'CaG though fair to meh was actually a pleasant tea scent

Yes! I have always thought Le Chevrefeuille smelled more like lemony iced tea than like honeysuckle. It has become my favorite Goutal.

Elizabeth W Sweet Tea is another great tea scent, black tea with a twist of lemon.

Oh, I forgot one of my favorites, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea!

I love that one too. That, and Tea for Two.
As far as green tea scents go, Osmanthe Yunnan is probably my favourite but it's note exactly my style. For my personal use, I prefer my own Kinmokusei (osmanthus, leather, green tea and wild orange).

...and Elizabeth Arden Spiced Green Tea is (was, it was a Limited Edition) even nicer! there is a dash of bergamot and spices there.

My favorite tea scents:

Annayaké Pour Elle: feels like a Japanese garden with its calming and peaceful aquatic place (bergamot, fig, elemi, blue nymphea, tea, precious woods, "transparent" musk)

Agua de Loewe: a fresh tea scent for both men and women (bergamot, yuzu, rosewood, mandarin, tea, pepper, ambregris, white musk, cedar, sandalwood)

L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea For Two: mmmm!, a great spicy tea (smoky tea, bergamot, cinnamon, ginger, honey, vanilla)

I like Bulgari thé vert (not the extreme so much, Guerlain Cherry Blossom (light floral green tea) and CK one.

I don't like Barney's Route du Thé. Smells more like detergent than tea.

All of the Bvlgari tea fragrances do not do well on me. And I do not care for EA Green Tea. So I started to think I do not like tea in a fragrance.......But then I tried Flowerbomb. I get a wonderful tea note that I just love.

top notes
Tea, Bergamot

heart note
Sambac Jasmine, Cattleya Orchid, Freesia, Centifolia Rose

base note
Musks, Patchouli

Guerlain's Cherry Blossom (primarily targeted for the Japanese market), Annick Goutal's Duel, and I think Etro's Palais Jamais.

Bulgari Parfumee au Te Vert -- green tea, I lurve it, but it disappears so quickly...the Extreme version is a little different and lasts a little longer.

Bulgari White (I'm not sure if this is a tea or not) seems mostly floral, and, again, is gone much too soon.

Osmanthe Yunnan -- the champ of gone-too-soon. It last minutes on me. But oh those minutes!

Creed Te' Rose Bulgare -- A nice clear rose, and I think it's the tea notes that clarify it.

Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden -- Lemony along with the tea. A good one to keep in the fridge in summer. Just ok.

Another beautiful one is Ayala Moriel's Kinmokasei. Although I wear it mainly for the osmanthus, it is a tea scent too. Osmanthus pairs well with tea and Kinmokasei is a a fabulous tea and osmanthus scent.

Penhaligon's Artemisia has a lovely Jasmine Tea note.

^^Oh yes, I forgot-L'Artisan Thé Pour un Été smells just like jasmine tea to me.

Don't ALL the Bvlgari scents have tea notes? I can't think of one that doesn't.

Another tea: MPG Camelia Chinois

I think this one is discontinued, but I absolutely love it!!: Eau d'Oolong

Ava Luxe has a The Blanc and The Noir. Like the Blanc, haven't tried the Noir yet.

My SOTD - Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Light Breeze. It's a light and lovely darjeeling tea scent with citrus & a tiny hint of woods. It's quite different from any of the endless other Linens...both pure and not-so-pure...

IMHO, the underrated Bulgari Pour Homme is a delightful honeyed tea -

For a masculine, it's so soft and well, feminine. The tea in this is Darjeeling. I "borrow" from my brother-in-law all the time.

I must try this!

Roger and Gallet's The Vert is a great jasmine/green tea cologne with citrus - it reminds me a lot of L'Artisan's The Pour Un Ete too!

I love this one too, Rebecca.

While I don't own many tea scents and haven't even tried that many, the few tea scents that I have tried? I love.

Jicky, you have great taste!

YSL Cinema has been discribed as "black tea with milk". I agree

No wonder I like Cinema, I love black tea with milk!

BVLGARI BLACK was alleged to contain a black tea note, but only just got rubber tires, air-conditioning solution, and "warm vanilla sugar".

Carthusia's Mediterraneo is green tea with lemon!

Forgot their Io Capri, that is tea again, but now sweetened with figs..

I like L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two. I smell a rich red tea with bitterness and smokiness that goes together with a honey warmth. I find it quite different from all the others "tea" fragrances and this one I could wear myself.
