The opening notes are beautiful and sharp. The citrus notes are pleasantly green and after the melodramatic, strong citrus notes fade, the name "Monsoon Tea" is an apt description of the scent: it smells like rainy winds rustling through a field of green tea leaves. The scent perfectly encapsulates the smell of wood after a rain shower. To my surprise, the base notes lasted on my skin as I slept through the night, but I cannot recall the scent as anything other than "pleasant" in comparison to the robust opening notes.
