Fraglover's Tea

This was in heavy rotation this past summer. I wanted to add some more notes now that I have had a few months with it. Upon opening, it misses the sweet rich candied violet leaf that greets you upon application of Gucci Pour Homme II, but once GPH2 hits the middle notes and drydown, it's very similar to this. Beautiful black tea, florals, clove/cinnamon, musk and cedar are the stars just like GPH2 Longevity is much better than GPH2 (8-10 hours on skin) although the projection it gives is soft and intimate just like the OG, combination of these aspects are a good thing in my opinion: I love when I can smell a frag on myself all day but it doesn't scream to every other person in the room. I do recommend over-spraying, this is claimed to be an Extrait du Parfum, but it definitely doesn't scream like most. This is an extremely versatile fragrance and should work 24/7/365. I might layer it with Hanae Mori HiM EDP in the winter to give it some extra depth. As a bonus, HiM also features those missing opening notes from GPH2 that FLT is lacking (albeit throughout its life, as HiM is rather linear). This boosts the musk in the drydown and features some beautiful florals not found in GPH2 or it's clones that make FLT more unisex. I have read reviews stating that some users had strange experiences of green notes in the opening, I can't validate these reports: I have a bottle from the first batch and one from the second batch and while they get a bit smoother after oxidizing, I haven't experienced those strange green notes. I'm wondering if that could be the alleged camphor note listed in the pyramid above. I was unable to pick up on it. For the money, it's a fantastic deal, assuming you can find it for MSRP. I believe Fomo will continue making this for a while: they have some line about making these as limited runs on their website, but all of the ones that have sold well seem to still be in production. I bought a backup just in case. 9/10 frag

TEA!!!!!! Wow, great frag. I just received it so this is a first impressions review. It is Tea and smells like nothing else I have (about 400)... It is soft and I am just not sure what type of projection and longevity this is going to have. I am hoping that it will macerate over the next couple of months and come on a little stronger because the scent is great! A pronounced TEA note is what I am getting, very unique and I will wear it. (not just a collectable) FYI - I blind bought both of the new FOMO's from Fragbuy. This one is 80% man but could be worn by a woman, heavily leans masculine. But "Fomo Other World" is 97% Feminine. You can never say 100% either way because of skin chemistry and the fact that frags are subjective and there are no right or wrongs when it comes to our personal preferences. Back to Tea, this is a great frag and blind buy safe if you like TEA, and it is a great Tea. Frag buy offered a blind buy 20% off if you blind bought both and you did not know what you were buying. (a true blind buy like never before) Of course I bought both and I am glad I did. I normally would not choose "Tea" and certainly not a female perfume (unless I was specifically buying my wife a perfume which I do do), and I am so glad I did. I got a unique great Tea frag and my wife likes her new bottle of "Other World" as well! EDIT - 5 hours in. Scent is gone. Just on the off chance I was nose blind, my wife just got home from work and I asked her if she liked my newest fragrance. She said what fragrance, put it on and I will let you know. So I reappled and she said - "Wow, you smell like sweet Tea, I like it" In Texas we drink sweet Tea, that is just what most of the folks call it here.... LOL....

A pretty damn awesome Gucci Pour Homme II inspiration. Saved me damn near 300 bucks looking for the original as the differences, while there, are pretty marginal. But you get the bonus addition of 2 or 3 extra hours over the Gucci II, which many people trying Fraglovers Tea may be overlooking. The OG was a muted performer that gave me 5 hours at a stretch. The Fomo gets me minimum 7 to 8 hours, the first 90 mins its very vibrant and present before gradually subsiding. Strong tea note, very green with a clean musk baseline. The listed Note Pyramid seems a little off as I dont get camphor, rose, plum or clove. Deconstructing the notes is very subjective, but this runs light citrus top, with a strong black tea note that dominates from top to bottom, and the greeness coming in from the Violet leaf which was present in the OG and is present in this, just not listed. Unless Camphor + Clove + Rose = Violet leaf.... Any way, if your blood pressure is high wear this. Road rage? Wear this. Your lady got the decorators in? Wear this. It oozes the famed and oft repeated Zen like attributes of the original. It's fresh, clean, calming, masculine energy that didnt just come from a candy store, pancake shop or powder puff convention. Sniffing the Gucci II in 2026 is an ode to simpler times. Fraglovers Tea respects it and pays homage. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - da Vinci. Leo knew. 9/10

I’ve never smelled Gucci Pour Homme II, and honestly? I don’t care anymore—because Fraglover’s Tea is a masterpiece in its own right. The opening hits with a blast of black tea so sharp and bold it feels like a samurai just sliced a Lipton bag in mid-air. But don’t panic—it dries down into one of the most versatile, masculine, quietly confident scents I’ve worn. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a man who wears linen in winter and somehow pulls it off. I’ve worn this to the office, on a date, at the gas station—compliments came from all directions, male and female. One guy even asked me what I was wearing while we were waiting for coffee, and that’s usually sacred silence time. That’s the power of the tea. Projection? Average, but perfect. It doesn’t scream—it speaks. It’s like a voice that doesn’t raise its volume but still gets everyone’s attention. Longevity is subtly above average—you won’t smell it the whole day, but people will catch whiffs when it matters most. Like a secret handshake for your nose. And let’s talk price. When it’s in stock—it’s a total steal. You could blind buy two, keep one, and gift the other to someone you like just enough to smell good around you. This is what James Bond, wearing a turtleneck, would smell like. Class. Smooth. Timeless. And just unpredictable enough to keep you hooked

Got my hands on a full bottle. FINALLY, someone nailed the GPH2 DNA! I have tried 4 different clones of GPH2, and this is the only one that really nails that beautiful black tea opening, but also the light airiness of the original. I do really enjoy the other clones, but they are all much sweeter and all almost gourmandy with the strong cinnamon and vanillin. I love this stuff and it will be in heavy rotation this summer. A bit rough on the initial spray fom my unmacerated bottle, but quickly corrects course after a few minutes. I didn't have this issue with my decant so I'm not too worried, it just needs some time. Longevity is great for a warm weather frag, easy 8 hours on skin. Great projection for the first 2 hours, a relaxing scent bubble for and additional 3-4 hours before becoming a very pleasant skin scent. This is an extremely versatile fragrance, can be worn year round, although I think I will likely later it with Hanae Mori HiM EDP or the Alexandria PH2 clone in the colder months to give it some more depth. There's a beautiful muskiness to this fragrance in the drydown, leading to a more unisex appeal than previous clones I've tried and I really like this. Fomo just shipped a new batch to several websites that service USA and Canada, so don't pay crazy prices for it. 9/10
