A tea also for non-tea drinkers

For a brief moment I thought someone had spilled his CK One bottle But then I breathe a sigh of relief That's not all!

I'm being offered tea.
Black or green ?
- Um,both?

I'm not a strong tea drinker When I drink tea, I usually think of these women, in their mid-40s, who do yoga and only go to the health food store.
Well, a cup of tea isn't that drastic right now!
But you just have your pictures in your head...

Here I find the tea quite nice.
Is a little spiced up by a slice of lemon (from me tangerine), cardamom and vetiver.
Not bad.
The iris note doesn't bother me at all, although that does happen sometimes.

This scent doesn't make me a tea drinker, but it's not bad!

Is very comfortable to wear.
More unisex than Rose Milano, but because of my visual ideas, I see this fragrance more on women.
Although men drink tea, too
Altogether a freshly brewed tea, which tastes better than I thought.

An elegant green tea scent

Ever since I've started my perfume journey, I've been searching for an exquisite, beautiful, fresh and uplifting green tea scent that lasts longer than an hour. Yves Rocher's interpretation lasted a good 30 minutes on my skin and Elizabeth Arden's had this green spicy aspect to it that I didn't vibe with well. Nest's interpretation was nice, but I felt the scent was too clouded by other notes. During a trip to New York I got the chance to shop at an Armani designer store and try out Thé Yulong on a strip of paper. It was almost a blind-buy (because I hadn't tried it on my skin), but I knew right then and there I had to grab it.

Is it expensive? Yes and it's probably the most expensive perfume in my collection right now, but I really love it. I'm a sucker for minimalistic bottle designs and this one fits the bill perfectly. The square shape of the bottle, the nice gold plaque and the black cap are simple yet convey a luxurious experience. I do admit I would've loved if the cap had been magnetic or a bit heavier in my hands.I also loved the box in which it came. The sprayer had a bit more difficulty in spraying a diffused mist at the beginning, but after a few uses, the spray is great.

As for the scent, it's exactly what I was searching for. A perfect balance between citrus, spices and tea. Fresh, exquisite and uplifting, I felt very put-together when I sprayed it on. At first, there's this nice blast of sweet juicy, fresh mandarin with a slightly spicy undertone (nothing too overwhelming) and then the tea comes and takes you away on a nice refreshing trip. The flowers are well-blended and serve as support to the tea note. There's a hint of powdery, almost indolic aspect in the background, but nothing that throws the scent off. I can't really telle the difference between the green and black tea notes, but I can tell you there's a nice organic fresh green accord. It's just overall an elegant fragrance. Everything ends up drying down to a lovely, slightly spicy scent with an undertone of tea. The drydown is different from the rest of the perfumes I own which was a novelty.

Like I've already mentioned, it is an expensive perfume, I won't deny it. Is it the best tea scent out there? Maybe not, but to me, at this point in my fragrance journey, it is the best green tea scent I've tried. Thé Yulong is a perfume I will be cherishing for a long time until I stumble, accidentally or not, on a better tea scent. Until then, I can take off tea fragrances from my list as, for now, I have found the one that checks all the boxes.

Lovely

This is a very calming, peaceful jasmine tea scent. It smells so fresh and is an absolutely perfect Spring/Summer clean, pretty girl perfume. It's also good for the office and for the gym as Thé Yulong is one of those perfumes that leaves behind a good impression, I find. The jasmine and orange blossom teeter on indolic in the opening but don't ever quite cross over into that dirty, pungent type of jasmine. Overal the white florals still stay on the fresher, greener side of things in the opening. It dries down almost completely to a very realistic green tea somewhere around the 1.5 hr mark and I can still smell it as a skin scent at 5 hours.

I like this quite a bit and would give it maybe an 8.5/10 on its own, but when layered over Van Cleef and Arpels Santal Blanc then the two together slingshot into a 10/10 fragrance. Together, they are absolutely the perfect combination of fresh jasmine, clean woods and green tea that I have been searching for. The addition of the woods underneath also extends my ability to wear Thé Yulong farther into colder weather.

I will say though, while Armani did a great job with the juice, I think if you are on a budget, then you can't beat Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and don't need this. It's the packaging and the juice combined that make the Armani more worth it to me, but I do have to concede the fact that on scent alone there are 100% cheaper alternatives that do the same thing almost just as well. That said, I have the Soie de Nacre version of Thé Yulong and those pearly blue-green shimmers really get me. There was no way I could pass it up when I saw the bottle and smelled the fragrance inside.

Mirror on the wall, who’s the ‚tea-est’ of them all?

Thé Yulong, an absolute monster among tea-like fragrances. Indisputably the best one, I’ve encountered in a very long time. The realism of this scent is really something special. Its simplicity makes it so good. Nobody tried too hard to get the right note and shockingly they’ve succeeded in doing just that. A perfectly balanced mix of green, citrus and floral notes put it really high up on my personal rankings.

As expected Armani brand have a unique way of presenting their fragrances especially ‘The privé’ collection. The bottle is elegant and luxurious, yet very simple, appealing to a lot. However, the cap is quite light which I do not like but the rest is perfectly fine.

The scent itself is ‘really real’. I think it’s the purest form of tea you can get. Very green and fresh, pleasantly spiked with fragrant mandarin. Quite the summer you can get from that bottle. Extremely refreshing perfect for such days. Covered with jasmine and vétiver, they make it whole, smooth and incorrupted.

Perfect fit for any sex, definitely a must for summer time and blooming spring. The fragrance is quite pricey but definitely worth it, considering that products used are top-shelf quality. For the longevity I cannot say much, it’s poor, but you have to bear in mind that this is EDT, made to refresh yourself during tiresome days. If you’re a fan of tea, go and get it while you still can.

Lighthearted tea fragrance

I've always had a desire to find the perfect tea fragrance. I have tried Oolang Infini from Atelier Cologne; I have, in my collection, Thé Blanc from Collines de Provence, but I haven't been satisfied. Oolang Infini wasn't it for me and Thé Blanc is unfortunately not that long lasting. I've tried many tea scents, but I was inspired to try Thé Yulong from Armani due to a praising review, but it was Soie de Nacre, a different flanker of Thé Yulong. That not being available, I went with Thé Yulong, it was a risk I was willing to take.

Thé Yulong, on paper, has a juicy, but also tangy note of citrus. Not quite mandarin, as stated in the composition, but after dry down the citrus loses its tanginess and becomes more like tangerine or orange rather than lemon or lime. The tea note is not as prominent as I thought it would be, but it is green and creates an illusion of smelling a freshly brewed iced tea. It does, however, miss the sweetness that Thé Blanc has. Thé Yulong is a skinny version of a sweet tea!
Surprisingly, over time, the scent becomes sweeter.

On skin, the fragrance is just like on paper - a fresh citrus with green notes. For some reason, I am more aware of how generic this fragrance is, almost like an air refreshener. No depth or sweetness balances Thé Yulong to make it more rich or likable. It is flat and boring. After dry down and a couple of hours in, Thé Yulong has a slight sweetness from jasmin and remains quite green.
I don't know how, but I've missed the fact that Thé Yulong is an eau de toilette and not an eau de parfum!
After dry down, on paper, the fragrance loses its natural notes and smells quite synthetic. On skin it is very faint and is an unisex green scent that is very inoffensive. I cannot imagine anyone disliking it, but there is nothing to love either.
Unfortunately, this fragrance is not what I expected and my search for the perfect spring to summer scent continuous.

Afterwords: I kept the fragrance. I mixed it with my beast-mode Unknown Pleasures (also a tea fragrance) to quiet it down and it creates a unique fragrance!
I have also learned to love it on it's own, but I need to be in the mood for something light and noninvasive.
