Tornado in Tea?
Well, actually the name translates more to whirlwind in tea. A peculiar name, especially the term whirlwind sounds quite "wild"... Wild tea?... Well... nowadays anything is possible after all. I mean, I also get quite wild if someone were to take my tea away or if I can't drink it in peace.
Or worse, someone (even if well-intentioned) pours milk into my tea without asking, thinking they could transform it into a chai tea or something, yuck :D But I don't have to remind you that I don't like tea with milk, do I? :D
But... should I try chai? Or pour milk into tea to see if I might actually find a taste for it today?? On the other hand... I once left out the milk in coffee for experimental purposes (since I ALWAYS drink coffee with milk)... I thought I was going to die...!!!
Anyway, I particularly enjoy testing tea scents (wow, who would have thought...), so the excitement is already building up for me to let this scent touch my skin!
Most of the citrus fruits from the top note dissipate quickly, so that the heart note mainly smells of tea, with a bitter scent note on the side. You can't really smell mango and rose.
In the base, it continues to smell of slightly bitter tea, but after a while, the scent becomes sweeter due to the vanilla, making it softer as well.
The longevity is also unfortunately not very special, so the scent mostly disappears after less than four to five hours.
Everything is quite okay and nice, although not incredibly exciting.
So, this tea is not wild,... I don't think there's a whirlwind happening in my tea. But at least no milk was poured in, even if it does smell a bit creamy-sweet in the later base due to the vanilla :D
Even though the scent is not particularly spectacular, it smells quite nice.
I think that tea freaks... um, I meant tea fans like myself will probably enjoy it even more than "normal" fragrance freaks. However, I would have wished for a stronger scent. Because the projection is my biggest criticism here, as the scent is simply a bit too weak for my taste. Therefore, it is more suitable for personal enjoyment on warm days.
As I said, tea fans can take a look at the scent. Maybe it will spark the desire for a glass of tea. Which I will also do right away. And pure, that is, without sugar (or just a little sugar) and definitely without any disturbing, whitish liquid in it :D

The Scent:
The scent starts with refreshing and zesty grapefruit as well as bitter oranges, from which you can really smell the bitter peel. At the same time, it has a nice fragrance of black tea with bergamot, somewhat similar to Earl Grey tea, just naturally more sour and zesty due to the mentioned grapefruit and oranges. Most of the citrus fruits from the top note dissipate quickly, so that the heart note mainly smells of tea, with a bitter scent note on the side. You can't really smell mango and rose.
In the base, it continues to smell of slightly bitter tea, but after a while, the scent becomes sweeter due to the vanilla, making it softer as well.
The Sillage and Longevity:
Unfortunately, the projection is weak. The beginning may still be strong, as the scent seems quite zesty, but it quickly becomes weaker. It doesn't stay close to the body. The longevity is also unfortunately not very special, so the scent mostly disappears after less than four to five hours.
The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has the typical Esteban porthole on the front, which looks like a magnifying glass. The fragrance liquid is yellowish, and the name is printed on the bottle. The cap is cylindrical and gilded, with the front area being orange/brown. Everything is quite okay and nice, although not incredibly exciting.
