Drink fast before it evaporates!
Ahaaaaa! I'm back!
Shhh... take it easy, everything will be fine! I'm not going to spin this time, I'm not going to grumble, and I probably won't say any dirty things either. So relax, sit back, get a drink and read this comment if you want.
Because next time I'm going to spin, bitch and say dirty things again EVERYWHERE!!! Maybe anyway... hey hey... but not today... :D
Soo, well then welcome to my comment on the fragrance "Moroccan Tea" by "& Other Stories", once again a brand that is absolutely meaningless to me. But it's about tea, so you get one point just for that :)
It is about Moroccan tea, which is mostly a green tea, which is refined with mint. Traditionally, the tea is frothed when it is poured into the glasses and... well, why, I still couldn't find out. But apparently this foam is so important that even street vendors don't wash it out when a customer has emptied his glass, so that the foam (which is a very difficult thing to produce) remains for the next customer (... delicious... bahhh! :D).
As a guest at someone's home, at any rate, you have your own glass (... fortunately, phew :DD), and then three glasses of tea are usually drunk. But if you don't feel like tea, you should at least have a glass with you out of politeness and respect.
Yes, you see, I enjoy writing about tea. I don't really know much about tea, but I find the topic very interesting, tea itself of course very tasty and the scent in perfumes is also pretty great. So I'm always happy to test a fragrance with teen notes, like now, which of course I have to tell you right away :)
A little later, however, the mint settles back into the "normal range", even though it is still one of the strongest scents in this fragrance. The tea is still only a little bit smelling, but maybe you can now recognize a little of the indicated mate, which comes and goes somehow.
The sweetness of the fragrance now works like sugar, which is appropriate to the name of the fragrance, since just such teas are often drunk quite sweetened in Morocco.
In the end the tea is almost gone, also the citric-fresh scents as well as the mint are now strongly weakened. Now you smell mainly sweet-spicy cardamom and in the background indeterminable woods. The base is therefore warmer instead of being fresh, but of course it also smells nice, even if you would have to flatten the nose at the sprayed area, as the fragrance then hardly has any charisma left.
The bottle! The bottle is cylindrical and has a cap made of transparent plastic, which makes everything look rather cheap and unloving. Even the label, which covers the entire bottle, is nothing special in itself. For me, the bottle is one of the most unloving and boring bottles I know...
Sure, you don't have to try this scent, even if you are a tea lover, but it wouldn't hurt to let the scent touch your skin :)
However, the scent is quite fleeting. While it still radiates quite well in the first few minutes and you might think that you've been enjoying it for a longer time, most of its intensity fades away in the first 30 minutes, leaving only a very weak scent after that. So it's more of a simple, slightly volatile cologne. Although it does last six or seven hours on the skin, it is very close to the body. That's a pity, but it's still common for such fresh summer scents, as it's no different with many other, even bigger and better known manufacturers.
Soo, that's it again. You see, I was more normal and quiet today. I didn't write anything about legs or breasts despite the middle of May (and thus almost summer), I didn't complain or curse, but was rather nicer, right? Everything I can't promise you for my next comment that it will stay like that, mu ha ha ha :DDD
Well then, have a nice evening and see you later :)

The smell:
The fragrance begins with beautiful, fresh mint and lemon. The tea scent is rather weaker and smells like a mix of green tea and black tea. In addition there is sweet-spicy, which should be cardamom. A few moments later the mint seems almost too sweetish and seems to me like the mint in chewing gum. That's not necessarily bad now, but a bit unusual. On the other hand, this effect will certainly be very refreshing, especially in midsummer. A little later, however, the mint settles back into the "normal range", even though it is still one of the strongest scents in this fragrance. The tea is still only a little bit smelling, but maybe you can now recognize a little of the indicated mate, which comes and goes somehow.

The Sillage and the durability:
The Sillage is still quite okay in the beginning, but unfortunately it weakens much too fast, so that you will only smell it yourself. The shelf life may now be six to eight hours, which sounds quite good, but: After just two hours the scent is extremely weak and one hour later it was practically so close to my body that I could only smell it when sniffing extensively. The bottle! The bottle is cylindrical and has a cap made of transparent plastic, which makes everything look rather cheap and unloving. Even the label, which covers the entire bottle, is nothing special in itself. For me, the bottle is one of the most unloving and boring bottles I know...
Conclusion:
Soo, well I found the scent now quite nice. Not incredibly spectacular, but clearly better than the average ratings here. Okay, the tea is rather weak in its aura, so you can smell more mint and lemon as well as sugar and especially cardamom, but nevertheless this combination is now quite nice and especially quite refreshing on hot days. Sure, you don't have to try this scent, even if you are a tea lover, but it wouldn't hurt to let the scent touch your skin :)
