Tea Ceremony in the Office

Sillage de Thé olfactorily reminds me of Kenzo pour Homme. Although the pyramid does not list bamboo leaf as an ingredient, its dark blue bottle has the stylistic shape of bamboo. So it can't be a coincidence.

Moreover, this Eau de Parfum from the Haiku line is much more subtle and with its delicate green matcha tea note is ideally suited as a summer office companion.
Other ingredients are hardly recognizable, and therefore one can only say that Sillage de Thé reflects the tea theme quite finely with fresh-green facets. In between, I perceive musk in a hand cream-like dosage. It fits well.

It also integrates well that this tea ceremony appears quite close to the body, but offers a decent longevity of over 8 hours and skillfully embellishes the working hours.
However, one should avoid: with a slight overdose, it not only leans more heavily towards Kenzo pour Homme but also intensively ventures into the realm of synthetics.

So, if you like a subtly Asian-inspired fragrance leaning towards fresh-green matcha tea with a bamboo note (one could also say: a much lighter version of Kenzo pour Homme), you can let this accompany your office routine.

I agree with Can and will stick to coffee as well.

Sounds nice. However, I think I'll stick with coffee. Both as a drink and a scent note!.. ;)

I'm not really into tea, and my office ambitions are on hold! So, I don't see a bright future with Sillage de Thé! However, I find your fragrance description very charming and helpful! Great job!

Thank you, and I can confirm that tea scents aren't exactly my thing either ;-)

Sounds like a nice summer scent, as long as it's not too synthetic.

As long as you don't spray too much, the synthetic notes stay in the background.

Sounds nice. The bamboo note is something different, and I quite like it too.

I think there's a bamboo note... I'm not 100% sure about it either, since I haven't had much experience with this plant...

This really sounds like a suitable fresh scent for the office and other places where that’s appropriate.
Even though it’s not my style to say, "It reminds me of..." it does bring back memories of the old "Bamboo" scent from Mouson.
That one was/is also wonderfully present and fresh without being overwhelming.

Yes, it's ideal for the office. Just a bit bland in the long run, though...
