Armani Privé - Thé Yulong
Giorgio Armani
This fragrance rearranged my brain cells
I've been putting off writing a review on this, which is criminal given how influential this fragrance was on me. The Yulong is a total masterclass in how to blend a tea/citrus fragrance. Unlike One Day's tannin style photorealistic...

Sur tes lèvres E.Q.
d'Orsay
d'Orsay's take on L'eau Papier
This fragrance smells exactly like L'eau Papier from Diptyque to me, but without the rice and sesame. The opening is dominated by pink pepper and ambrette seed, which gradually fades to an indiscernable blend of patchoulli, iris, and cashmeran....

Oolong Tea
One Day
Memories of a Tea Shop
Mental image: You order a hot cup of Oolong Tea in Hong Kong's Mong Kok district. You mix in some honey, and take small sips while people rush to their next destination outside. You place the cup down, and notice a beam of afternoon sunlight...

Philosykos
Eau de Parfum
Diptyque
An Ode to Fig
Philosykos opens with a green and almost vegetal smell upon first application, similar to crushing fig leaves in your hands. Thankfully this only lasts for 5 minutes, and it becomes a gorgeous creamy almost soapy fig. On myself it's not something I constantly...

Thé Matcha 26
Le Labo
Fig 26
The Matcha 26 is the house of Le Labo's take on a fig scent. Perhaps the matcha is more about the contemplative feeling it invokes? It has a creamy quality similar to Philosykos EDP but taken in a more herbal/woody instead of the coconut direction. Despite...

Molecule 01 + Black Tea
Escentric Molecules
Various refractions of black tea
This is straight black tea, zero sugar with a tinge of citrus. It's quite photorelistic, however what makes this different from something like the Armani Yulong is the magneticism this fragrance exudes. There is an outline to the tea scent,...

Earl Grey
Eau de Parfum
ÉDIT(h)
Japanese Lemon Tea
This fragrance is basically iced black tea with lemons. There is a certain cold and fresh spiciness to it which makes it great to wear on bleak mornings. Easily unisex, but leans somewhat masculine in my opinion due to how sharp it feels. The dry down...

Ethos of Cities - Taipei
One Day
Taro and all its various facets
I would describe this as the Asian take on the idea of a cashmere sweater. Taipei is warm, the opening reminiscent of the air lingering in a boba store or Chinese bakery. You get this nuttiness from the taro and soy milk in the opening,...

Marseille
Comme des Garçons
Pink office soap
On my skin this smells like an exact rendition of the pink Gojo soap you find in office bathrooms. I get neroli and orange blossoms interlaced with synthetic cleanliness, almost like the aroma of sun dried laundry but it still smells closer to detergent...

White Rice
d'Annam
Airy, liquid elegance
Every now and then you smell a fragrance that you never knew you needed. White rice captures the unique floral qualities of jasmine rice, while giving it a unique twist by accentuating that with pandan and orris. The dry down is gentle, and best...
