Tea scent again!
Well, are you getting sick and tired of my tea scent comments?
I hope not, because what is more beautiful than tea and tea scents?! I'd even test milky tea scents for you... argh,... if not too much, especially if the milk should smell of boiling milk... because I HATE the smell of boiling milk, I always get very nauseous, so I always have to leave the room (so the kitchen) when someone should boil milk... baaah!
But that just by the way, because here comes a scent that smells like green tea instead of black tea, ... and I don't think you're soo crazy to stain green tea with milk... including the lemon slice in it... bah, I don't even want to imagine that... so I'd rather come straight to the scent description!
After only a few minutes I smell the slightly sweet tonka bean, which smells good, but comes across as a little unusual, as the tonka bean is usually more of a fragrance for the base. In the top note it is in any case very weak, but nevertheless clearly recognizable.
In the heart note the green tea remains with a dash of lemon, the tonka bean weakens and is replaced by the ginger, which smells herbaceous and tart and therefore already smells more suitable to the tea. I can't smell the jasmine, by the way.
The fragrances of the base read strangely like the fragrances that often belong more to the top note, bergamot, orange and peppermint. These more citric notes usually last the least, but some of them you can smell very well in the base as listed here. The bergamot can be smelled throughout anyway, the oranges are added and remind more of slightly bitter orange peels and the peppermint surprisingly provides a fresh effect in the base.
In any case, the main notes in this fragrance are green tea, bergamot and ginger. I'd call the oranges the strongest supporting actors. A generally good and fresh, but also tart herbaceous fragrance.
Much later a little tea scent can be spotted, now smelling mainly with ginger, and I think you can also smell a little oakmoss.
Well, yeah... the scent's not bad in itself. He starts well with the green tea, smells quite nice in the further course, but I don't like the later base so much anymore, because then it becomes somehow too ginger-heavy for me. I like the Five o'clock by Serge Lutens, which is also with ginger, but with the Lutens the fragrance is simply much better.
Be that as it may, tea lovers could take a look here, but they don't necessarily have to, because in my opinion there are better scents when it comes to green tea. As always it's a matter of taste, because maybe you like the ginger... so here it is: Just try it out...
Apart from that, the fragrance is more of an all-rounder despite its fresh notes, so it can be used at any time. Less suitable for going out, however, as it does not smell good enough and does not radiate very strongly.
Well... that's it, too. Once again a tea scent, but this time one I personally didn't like very much.
So, now brew fresh tea and test the next tea scent. Who would like to come for tea? :DD
But you have to bring cookies :D

The fragrance:
At the beginning I only smell a green tea, which smells authentic and thus naturally also good. The slice of lemon in the form of bergamot goes well with this. Both scents are made for each other and harmonize accordingly super with each other. After only a few minutes I smell the slightly sweet tonka bean, which smells good, but comes across as a little unusual, as the tonka bean is usually more of a fragrance for the base. In the top note it is in any case very weak, but nevertheless clearly recognizable.

The Sillage and Durability:
The charisma is average and therefore neither particularly good nor really bad to smell. The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and slightly wavy in shape. On the front you can see a label with a thick frame showing oriental patterns. The lid is chrome-plated and rectangular. It's nice.
