Gentle and Feminine Cologne
Regarding the "Kolonyas," or Colognes, from this series by the Turkish manufacturer Eyüp Sabri Tuncer, it can generally be said that they usually smell nice, but are ultra-lightly concentrated (sometimes the scent lasts only 10 minutes), yet they are very, very affordable and recently also beautifully packaged. I have elaborated on this elsewhere.
"Beyaz Cay" is once again one of the more pleasant fragrances in this series. Notably, its longevity is quite remarkable for EST standards, as I can still smell it even after an hour. This may be due to the presence of a proper base note with amber and vanilla. Furthermore, and related to this, it should be noted that here you really have a somewhat classically composed fragrance with individual components and a scent progression.
The tea that gives the fragrance its name and the well-matching jasmine scent in the heart note are not overly dominant, as they are distinctly framed by a prominent top and base note. "Up top," there are citrus notes that are clear, but they never really burst forth due to the heart note and the already hinting vanilla base note; instead, they come across more like velvet paws from the very beginning.
Why the product is called "White Tea" and then "green tea" is listed in the heart note according to the manufacturer's own fragrance pyramid is a bit puzzling. Perhaps "white" here does not refer to the specific tea variety "white tea," but rather evokes a tea scent that is "white" in its fragrance color, meaning jasmine-like, creamy-vanilla.
Overall, it may not be hyper-original, but it is certainly a beautiful, gentle, friendly affair. As a fresh cologne, it is still distinctly recognizable, but the freshness is nicely softened with creaminess. I envision the scent most on a younger lady; it can be worn year-round, perhaps preferred in spring. And always remember to reapply!
