I’ve tried all the Vietnamese discovery set, and Monsoon Tea is my personal absolute favorite.
It opens with a bright citrus note, not really sharp but more like the kind of fresh pleasant lime, and you can already smell the wonderful green notes hidden underneath. As the lime fades for about 15min, the tea start to appear and blend gently with the top notes. When I reached the heart notes, I was blown away by the photorealistic rain scent they promised us in the description. It really feels like sitting on a terrace, with light rain falling on green plants. The type of rain drops who opens the vegetable oil of tea leaves, and at that moment, your mind becomes quiet.
It’s comforting, it’s beautifully done, the type of perfume you want to smell when you need calm. For the negative points, the longevity is about 4-5 hours of pure tranquility, and the sillage is maybe too weak for my taste. But I can’t stop thinking of that wonderful fresh green tea.
Despite the performance, I will buy it for my father this Christmas, it’s exactly the type of light scent that he loves and match his personality. A fragrance that is not heavy to wear and transport your mind.
People don’t talk enough about this perfume, and I hope I have encouraged some of you to test it.
