Mandarin & Green Tea

This has become my go-to spring/summer scent. Opening with the very bright, almost juicy grapefruit and mandarin with just the right amount of fresh-spicy bergamot on first spray, it mellows a little after a short amount of time to let the orange shine through. Once the citrus notes fade it becomes more of a skin scent, and left behind is a subtle and delicate pink rose. The green tea note is omni-present and adds a small contrasting sweetness to the brightness of the citrus notes, all while rounding the scent at all stages. The musk is only barely noticeable, but grounds the fragrance and adds body to keep it from being too light and airy. My only complaint is that I wish it performed a bit better. I find myself taking a travel size with me on the days I'm wearing this out for the day. Otherwise, a beautifully crafted and simple fragrance that begs to be worn during the warmer months.

Smells exactly like drinking a fresh cold iced tea on an outdoor patio. Sparkling citrus stays throughout. The tea is not strong, it's like a lightly steeped green tea or white tea. Lovely! Sits close to the skin for the most part. A few hours of longevity. A bit overpriced for the poor performance imo but I would love my own bottle of this for hot summers or vacations.

What a simple but clever blend of citruses and tea! The tea provides a smoothness and depth to the citruses, resulting in a refreshing, uplifting, and summery unisex fragrance . Safe to blind buy.

this is the most photo-realistic sweet tea perfume i've ever tried im in love 😍😍😍

This is an interesting mandarin scent. I am of the opinion that mandarin is actual quite a rough citrus, not as in unpleasant, but rather as in being actually quite heavy, green, tart, and a bit bitter sometimes. Of course it is heavily sweetened in most formulations, but oddly not so much in this one. I get quite a petitgrain-like experience with a good dose of that mandarin peel feeling in the top, transitioning into a tart grapefruit almost sherbet-like feel later on. It retains a greenness throughout linking into a green tea accord, which while not overly realistic does bring across the message. It ends on a warm clean white musk note. I don't love it tbh, but it's also not bad. There are undoubtedly smoother more elegant citrus scents out there. This one is middle of the line for me, decently priced too. If you enjoy quite heavy green tart citrus, you will probably like this one.

Lovely citrus smells. The orange, bergamot, and grapefruit, all very noticeable. Not synthetic smelling either, proper fresh smell. The tea aroma comes through after a couple of minutes. Mild, but there. Sadly that's all there is; and it doesn't last long. Longevity is about 2 hours, maybe up to 3 on clothing. Sillage is very weak. Quality without the longevity, never mind, still smells good.

This is pretty great - it delivers on the promise of its name. My problem with it is the same as my problem with most perfumes nowadays - performance is crap.

Kinda... off and disjointed / not a smooth blend. This highlights all the aspects of citrus that I don't particularly appreciate. Bitter detergent tones are far too forward for me. In Australia we have a cleaning product called 'orange power', this is so so similar to that. It gets a lot better with time. As it dries and softens a bit, more of the tea character comes to the front, which is quite refreshing and interesting. It’s a shame but I just can’t get past the opening. VERDICT: Smells like the taste of orange juice after brushing your teeth.

Starts off like lemony black tea — love that! But the cedarwood-ish dry-down feels a bit too masculine for me.
