Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits 4160 Tuesdays 2020

Remarkable cozy gourmand
This fragrance is absolutely remarkable. Of the lemon-vanilla scents I’ve actually sampled, this is the only one that I’ve been blown away by.
This smells exactly how it sounds: tea & biscuits. It smells like having an English Breakfast Tea (which is a type of black tea) with a side of lemon biscuits, at a cafe near one of the many stop along the Hammersmith & City underground stations in London. And I mean the British type of biscuits (I.e. cookies). It’s sweet, bright, slightly aromatic, slightly wheat-y, and soft. It’s absolutely delectable. I don’t consider myself a gourmand girl by any means just because I don’t always want to smell like sweets & sugar. But this has quickly become one of my holy grail fragrances. I’ve never smelled anything like it and it was truly love at first sniff.
Now the performance on this one shocked me a bit because as soft and subtle this is, it lasts a very long time on skin and clothes. And the silage is quiet, but definitely present. I wore it to work the other week and even after two or so hours, it’s was leaving noticeable trails. While I was with a patient, a man came into the exam room and asked to check the sharps container. Upon leaving, he said, “damn it smells good in here!”. I tend to go noseblind to a lot of my frags, so garnering that reaction while wearing this made me love it even more. It’s not offensive at all and can be worn wherever and whenever.
This is my first from the house and it makes me very excited to try more fragrances from them. I’d love to visit an actual store in London whenever I decide to go back and visit. Absolute 10/10 perfume that I think more people should know about.
