Top 10 Tea Perfumes
Tea scents, light and ambiguous, are a great choice for spring and summer. Cooling and forgiving in warm, sticky atmosphere, tea notes are optimistic. Tea perfumes and colognes are refreshing alternatives to the overtly tropical and ostentatious summer scents. Tea notes, though typically calming, understated and natural, can appear as mere pale complements to other star notes. At other times, tea notes are intense complements to strong, bold scent. This fun series of tea perfumes is another great way to welcome warm weather.
Bvlgari Tea Series is a boisterous collection of the light, the bright and the spiced. Bvlgari au The Vert is a citrus scent that is slightly green and lightly smoky. As a full-bodied image of green tea, this perfume has great sillage. Bvlgari au The Blanc is a very clean soapy tea. The bright, yet soft dried tea leaves come across as peppered and slightly tempered with linden. This squeaky clean rendition on brewed tea is a great starter perfume for any tea-newbies. Bvlgari au The Rouge is a bold, beating fragrance that stands out from this tea trio. This fragrance is a unique mix of hot black tea, sweet citrus, creamy fig and nutty spices. Like a soothing cup of spiced chai tea, this fragrance offers an invigorating blast.
Green Tea Elizabeth Arden features green tea, light citrus and feminine florals. This fragrance is all about the light side of green tea. Without the deeper depiction that Bvlgari au The Vert offers, Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea is pale and green. The citrus spark and floral sweetness do well in saving this fragrance from a dull green oblivion. As a result this is a winning feathery tea scent—perfect for those interested in light second-skin perfumes.
Guerlain Homme begins with a youthful boozy blast of lime and mint. Quickly a raw note of natural sugarcane emerges with the tartness of rhubarb and the smokiness of green tea. This is a surprising modern mix—surprising both for the innovative combination and for the youthful turn from Guerlain. The earthy, smoky brew of green tea works as a creamy tenderizer for the mint and lime. Guerlain Homme is innovative and invigorating!
Eclat D’Arpege Lanvin is a faint scent. Like a bare veil of florals, lemon and peach, Eclat D’Arpege is transparent and light. The green tea scent provides a base of warmth, paleness and earthiness. Underneath the hint of green tea, soft tones of cedar and musk start to emerge. This wistful fragrance makes good use of the dreamy light side of green tea leaves.
Curve Connect Men by Liz Clairborne is a clean tobacco scent. The tobacco leaf tones appear as sweet and dry, while tonka bean notes are warm and spiced. At the top there is a quick hint of lovable citrus. This rich leafy scent is given a pale, dry touch with the addition of tea leaves. This scent wafts between lightly brewed tea and freshly dried tobacco leaves. Earthy and pale, Curve Connect is a great light masculine scent.
Hard Candy for women by Hard Candy is probably the last perfume in which you’d expect to find tea notes. So let’s just get it out there—Hard Candy is like Aquolina Pink Sugar for all the candied sugar hype, and is it also like Lolita Lempicka for the soft sweet creamy character. Often experienced as nutty caramel or candied fruits, Hard Candy actually works because of a grounding smoky note—green tea. The green tea note is pale and musky. It’s like a refreshing sparkling breeze compared to the sticky sweet heart. Hard Candy is like a hot cup of green tea clashes that with an aggressive, but lovable, band of confectionary. Definitely try Hard Candy for an intense sugar kick.
Still Jennifer Lopez is a soft floral perfume that calmly utilizes the tea note to the fullest. This refined, soft floral perfume has a hint of vanilla and musk. But it does not smell old and dated like it should sit among the other 80s perfume stars. Still has a little modern twist, which is a note of earl grey tea. This perfume is saved from the musty, dusty shelf by a nice splash of bergamot, neroli oil and a slight hint of pale tea. As a result, Still is contemporary, soft and lovable.
Tokyo by Kenzo opens as a spicy bright citrus cologne. The sparkling opening of ginger and grapefruit leads us to believe that this could be just another typical citrus-and-spice cologne. However the scent quickly turns to add an interesting level. A boldly brewed green tea scent appears as sweet, herbal, grassy, smoky and dusty. It’s a true matcha green tea scent. Next to the bright and tangy grapefruit, the matcha is a warming relief. For an interesting combination of notes, try Tokyo by Kenzo.
Burberry The Beat is a bright and light floral transcribed over a pretty and pale base. One on side, this perfume features pretty florals—iris and bluebells. On another side, this perfume proudly displays a soft, clean base of tea. With an added youthful kick of citrus, the smoky pale tea is a quiet complement to the lovable florals. In the end, the mix of pretty and pale creates an unmistakable upbeat perfume. Faint and feathery, this dry, calm floral uses tea notes to accomplish a modern and young feel.
