Sometimes you just need a summer staple freshie that performs like nothing else

While I love a complex perfume with many layers and twists, when the temperature climbs over 33-35C with 80% humidity and the sun mercilessly beats down on you (aka Japanese summer), I don't want or need all that. During summer, give me a fresh green scent that doesn't need constant reapplication, a scent that's cool and comforting and can carry me through the day. Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum checks all those boxes and has been part of my daily summer rotation for a few good years now.

It's been accused of being too simple, of lacking development, of smelling like a spa scent. True. I still get a lot of pleasure from wearing it. Imagine a Japanese commuter train at rush hour with everyone smelling rancid in their suits and now loads of funky tattooed tourists cramming you in with their own BO: in that hell of hells, this perfume is my little oasis of freshness and escape. Nothing else performs like it to last and project well enough that at least within my own personal space the stench of others doesn't intrude.

The bergamot with oolong is always there. I don't get much fig. Sometimes simplicity is best.

Soothing Cup of Tea

Over the course of my testing process, Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum has steadily grown on me, first striking me as too simple and unassuming. And frankly, it is pretty simple and easy-going, but that only fuels my liking towards it now.

The opening is a delightful burst of citruses, with the orange dominating and the mandarin orange adding a slightly sweeter undertone. The Litsea cubeba adds this intensely clean herbaceous edge, with a faint lemon-like aroma and floral lightness. Like a refreshing squeeze of lemon into your cup of tea from grandma.

And speaking of tea, that's the star of the show here. As the citruses start diminishing their presence, the oolong tea warms things up with a soothing, complex mix of florals, reminding me of orchids, jasmines, and even a peachy sweetness hidden somewhere. It mimics the scent of tea as a whole remarkably, with the remaining citruses from the start reminding you that tea shouldn't be sweetened with sugar, but enriched with some sourness. Then there's the nutmeg, trying its best to shine through, but ultimately settling with adding just a warm and mild spiciness beneath it all. It's there for sure, but it sticks closer to the bottom of the tea-filled cup.

The base of most Nishanes I have tested so far were particularly lacking, both in presence and development. But I'm happy to report that Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum brings my hopes back up. The combination of the fig's distinct sweet (but not too sweet) fruitiness, and the warm, clean, and slightly powdery musk work beautifully in creating a comforting base. They extend the soothing and warm sensation of the oolong tea and nutmeg long after they're gone. Frankly, the tea vibe disappears roughly around the one hour mark, leaving you with the musk/fig combo. Overall, great quality and blending, although quite a simple development throughout the wearing process.

Now, how long do you get to enjoy this warm cup of tea before it gets cold? Well, coming as a surprise, I got about 7-8 hours of longevity on my skin, exceeding my expectations by a significant margin. Unfortunately, projection is nowhere near as good, with somewhere about one and a half to two feet of projection for the first 30 minutes, then settling closer to a steady one foot projection for an hour more. After that, it gets more intimate (skin scent).

Anyone, anywhere, anytime - that's what I would say about versatility. It's actually one of the most versatile scents that I've encountered. It's fresh and citrusy to fit daily usage, but it's also distinct enough to work at certain events. And if you're one of the more unlucky users that don't get outstanding projection/sillage (like me), then you're safe to add a generous amount of sprays.

Although I don't have much experience regarding tea-like fragrances, I believe that Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum is hard to top. It's simple, yet different. It's soothing and calming. And it's one of the most enjoyable scents out there, purely because anyone can enjoy it. Now, does all of that justify its price tag of $200-$300? Hardly. But it's definitely worth giving a try, and I'm betting you'll find it a hard scent to hate.

Just so subtle and unique

This was a blind buy as I couldn't find Nishane perfumes to test and I am usually easily satisfied by tea scents so I said why not. The first few sprays were not pleasant. I sprayed this on myself and on my boyfriend. Two days later I was carrying the laundry basket and got an accidental whiff. It got so much better and became so soft and clean. It has become one of the bottles with the biggest dents in my collection ever since. I love Wulong Cha.

Aromatic tea

This is a great extrait but not exactly what I was hoping for.

At first spray, it's bright, orange citrus and slightly floral. The orange notes paired with the bergamot and litsea cubeba really just make the opening a citrus powerhouse with a vague, yellow floral undertone. It remains this way for the first few hours of the wear for me, with the citrus aspect slowly fading.

It begins to further develop around hour three or four when the oolong starts to emerge and the scent becomes incredibly aromatic. It smells very green, quite sharp and it bolsters the floral quality that was present in the open.

Around this time, I notice the musk starting to come out, adding a bit of warmth and depth to the intense green freshness. It stays with this scent profile for the rest of the wear. Because it was so green, leafy and aromatic throughout, I'm not sure if or when the fig note came out at all. This lasted for well over ten hours on my skin and the sillage remained relatively strong the entire time.

Overall, this is an interesting tea fragrance. I was hoping for something more explicitly "tea" but I can enjoy this. It would obviously do well in the spring and summer months due to its citrus, green and fresh qualities, but I also think it would be a suitable winter scent as a way to brighten things up.

Fresh with zest. Comfortable. Shows that you have taste.

By no means a sophisticated fragrance, however, it is a significant cut above the sea of anemic "blue" fragrances. It's the quintessential summer scent, as you'll stand out from the rest of the crowd. Wearing this indicates taste for the art of perfumery. Ingredients are well blended, and it is of very high quality. This is the fragrance you'd wear when you're looking for something more relaxing, cooling, and uplifting; Wulong Cha is worn for yourself, more so than for others. That said, it remains incredibly easy to wear. It opens with a complex concoction of citruses, which then divulges into a musky, tea accord, with an added pinch of sweetness from the fig note. Performance is exceptional for a fragrance with citruses; expect about 8 hours of longevity, and projection that sits closer to you. This is what you'd go to for the summer/spring months, for any occasion. I have worn this in the colder months of the winter; can see how this may counteract any seasonal disorders by enveloping you in a scent sphere of Zen, a longing for the warmer months to come.

I sold Wurong Cha because it smelled like sweaty crotch. I miss that crotch smell now.

Green, citrus forward opening + the signature tea note following - floral, complex, slightly sweet. Settles on a distinct fruity/musky fig.

Fresh-citrusy with implied white florals (clean/soapy) & a moderate green-aromatic feel. Lacks smoothness on-skin, overall just okay.

Lipton tea bags + fresh shampoo. Summertime nostalgia. Undecided if I want to smell like it.

The scent is so fresh and juicy. It's like spraying fresh lemon ice tea over my skin. Lasts all day long for me. Pricey, but worth it.
