I love tea.
Nothing brings me more comfort on damp, cold, windy days than wrapping myself up with freshly brewed tea and an interesting book, forgetting the world as I dive into another. Even in summer, I appreciate the drink in lukewarm or iced versions, depending on the variety.
Logically, I am also drawn to scents that feature tea in their name.
Lagerfeld's Teeblume greets me with a sparkling freshness in a top note that slightly reminds me of Arden's Green Tea.
Soon, distinct citrus aromas join in, which are complemented by a note that is "skin-like" and also softly powdery to my nose.
The tea impression is consistently present and perceptible for a few hours, albeit predictably soft and close to the skin.
There isn't much development here; the flowers serve more to stabilize the overall artwork.
Fleur de Thé is a pleasing, unobtrusive scent, and I look forward to wearing it in summer.
I can imagine that it can shine a bit better with the warmth of the skin.
