Great Fresh Kick with Green Tea & Citrus
This fragrance is a great example that cheapies don't necessarily have to come from the Middle East. With this scent, which you can also find in many drugstores, you can definitely do something. Fleur de Thé is one of 12 fragrances in the Les Parfums Matières collection, where you can find 12 different themes that are also described in the title. I've known this Fleur de Thé for a while, and it came across to me the best in terms of concept and reactions; I haven't tested the others yet. Primarily, this is a tea fragrance, and the Fleur in the name is more perceptible in the background, so it's not completely wrong, and you get what you expect. However, a fresh kick from citrus-green notes is rather present. The fragrance is listed as a women's scent, which is true but can also be worn by men who enjoy tea fragrances with a pleasant fresh kick. A similar scent is also Pomelo Sorrento by Gritti. It's very far from the DNA, but the type of fragrance aligns. A great cheapie that can also be easily gifted due to the price and because it is extremely easy to like and wear.
As mentioned, the fragrance is available in drugstores, but online at extremely good prices in sizes of 50 and 100ml. The large bottle costs under €20, the small one just over €10, making this bottle a good scent for on-the-go. The bottle gives a great summery and high-quality impression.
The fragrance is definitely usable throughout the year, as you always have a need for a freshie. It should be noted that this scent is more about a fresh kick and is rather short-lived, which is not bothersome at this price point, especially since the time it is present exudes a lot of fresh charm. A wonderful invigorating green tea note on a summery-citrusy-fruity mix with lemon, mandarin, and a lot of soft neroli. In the heart note, floral notes come through that are very gentle and calm the citrus a bit. There are also some soft green notes present, which harmonize wonderfully with the citrus. In the later hours towards the base, the fragrance becomes very soft with wood, clean musk, and a subtle warmth. The highlight of the fragrance is definitely the top note, which is pleasantly noticeable for about 2 hours. After that, it becomes rather clean & fresh, but very solid and pleasant.
Performance is rather modest with a longevity of 4-5 hours, and in the later hours, it has a rather weak skin-close sillage. However, with the fresh kick of the top note, the sillage is convincing, making it perfect for the gym or just for short activities.
Overall, a great invigorating fragrance that I can absolutely recommend if you're not necessarily looking for a powerhouse. The price is great, and I give a clear test recommendation if the scent profile appeals to you.
