Green cut flowers, citrus and tea - game changers for summer

While I find that Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum smells relatively photorealistic like cut flowers and gardening, Wūlóng Chá X is the more pleasing fragrance to my nose and was therefore my first choice to buy. After testing both fragrances extensively and smelling them on my wife, I simply had to have Wūlóng Chá X. Why?

The fragrance DNA is green-citrusy, but its style is incomparable for me (apart from its DNA partner Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum, of course). The green here is given by the actual elaboration of the scent of gardening and cut flowers. This authentic DNA forms the basis for the further composition of the fragrance. While this base is interesting in terms of perfume technology, but I don't think it is "fragrance enough" on its own, it maintains itself in the overall impression, which is underpinned by a great citrus note - especially in the opening - and is rounded off by tea in the overall course and impression.

In my opinion, two other special features of this fragrance are that it is very intense and long-lasting despite its fresh DNA. The sillage is also great and always wafts around the nose of the wearer and those around them. Despite the high fragrance concentration, it does not sit close and heavy on the body, but can be clearly perceived swirling around the wearer.
Secondly, in my experience, the fragrance is almost completely symbiotic in the heat. In really warm temperatures, the fragrance really begins to shine. I find that the perfume almost melts into the heat. This effect was so strong for me that I am now even more interested in testing the regular Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum in the heat, although I was much less convinced by it as a perfume at the beginning.

I can therefore recommend at least testing the "Wūlóng Chá X (Extrait de Parfum) | Nishane", if not both. I think the idea for the DNA of the X variant is really a masterstroke and a perfect example of why fragrance enthusiasts turn to niche fragrances. Because it is unique, authentically green, citrusy and fresh, making it special, but extremely easy to like. And that's not all: to put it simply: this fragrance just smells damn good!
