I was worried it would be too sweet, but it's surprisingly dry and refined. The tea note is subtle, not literal, and it settles into something really elegant after about twenty minutes on my skin.

The opening hit is sharp and almost bitter, like cracking open a fresh tea leaf, but it settles into something so calm and wearable I keep reaching for it on lazy afternoons. As a niche pick from a curated tea-focused line, it nails that sophisticated, understated vibe without trying too hard.

The dry-down is where this one shines—that tea note stays crisp and elegant for hours without turning bitter or synthetic. I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf hours later and it’s genuinely calming. A lovely, understated pick for anyone who wants a fragrance that feels like a quiet afternoon.
