L’Ile au Thé

L’Ile au Thé (EDT) () L’Ile au Thé is very good offering from Goutal Paris usual. However, I find this extra-ordinary long-lasting compare to the other EDT offering so far. Do I love this, yes I do. This is such a beautiful white tea with hint of honey and lemony slide. That beautiful white tea opening stay longer than usual consider scent from light realm. When it dry down, it stay intact as clean ambient. That very pleasing. not really musky but a clean nice ambient. Gorgeous and beautiful This is out-standing offering from Goutal Paris Score 9.5/10 (Best impression so far, as good as Eau'd Haiden EDP - I score this higher because Tea accord is harder to make) Projection : Soft for about hour, become closer to the skin after that point of time. Longevity : 3.30 hrs. reach final dry down both on cloth and skin. Classification : Unisex (A beautiful tea cologne) Extension 1 on June 15, 2024 After initial review of L’Ile au Thé. My confession is I barely reach to this one.. even I still bare in mind that this is craft to perfection. I just don’t I observed the scent and it feel like their was something behind sweet mandarin top and musk. It is floral heart, and woody(?) If I could bend my pervious review I would classified this as Citrus-woody-aromatic, it is ambient of white tea and lemon side with fresh breeze mountain view full of tea leaf with mellow river in the background. There was Osmanthus, which really recall Osmanthus Yunan. It is actually quite similar experience but less leathery and higher musk. And it seems, somehow reminds me of Le Chevrefeuille the way of soft citrus - lemony scent hits smooth sweet base. It just.. similar to my nose. I think I could even call this Le Chevrefeuille pour homme. Due to slight leathery, woody profile. All it lacks is the bite that Le Chevrefeuille, but you get soft animalistic instead. Classic white tea accord is Citrus, Floral, Green & Musk, somehow powdery to an extend but this doesn’t feel powdery, more like woody. I should spray this a bit more often but I just can’t use this relentlessly due to soft animatic tone this has, my hands always go to Le Chevrefeuille when I need some refreshing or before the workout because of sweet citrus floral that had soft bite... Note de tête : Bergamote, Essence de Mandarine Note de cœur : Absolu Osmanthus Note de fond : Absolu de Thé, Maté, Cèdre Vigirnie, Muscs Blancs

Opening lively, fresh and crisp, with mandarin ... is immediately made positive! After a few minutes it becomes "softer" the evolution of this fragrance is moderate .. already after 5 minutes vivacity initial calm giving way to a peace, relaxation ... incredible surrounds you, makes you feel unique, and combined the nature, the sun, everything. After a while it makes you feel the Osmanthus (nice note, that in this fragrance gives the magic touch to the composition in my opinion), but appears not so violent ... gives his light touch and velvety. Closes with white musk that combines perfectly with the other notes .... This fragrance is really extraordinary, wraps you in a beautiful dream. Although the sillage (unfortunately) is soft, and therefore need different spray, longevity is rather good (about 6 hours on me). I really like this scent, and certainly will come in my collection! :) Great job also here by Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen ... Thank you for this! . Council for summer or spring ... Sillage: 5./10 Longevity: 7./10 Scent: 9/10 Overall: 9./10

This one is true to it's wonderfully evocative name; it's very easy to imagine a beautiful, cool, lush island that smells like this (and to ignore the fact that the reality is way more prozaic in almost all cases!). It's a delicious tea fragrance, balanced just right with an equally important role for mellow, cool, soft, nicely powdery-sweet florals and citruses. Delicious, and so refreshing without being actually (i.e. agressively) "fresh". It's just really lovely, the kind of scent that always puts a smile on my face; tea and citrus and blossoms are really a match made in perfume heaven and of course you can trust Annick Goutal when it comes to high quality execution. Projection and longevity could be better, but I guess that's the price you pay for such a natural-smelling, lightfooted fragrance - and it isn't insubstantial at all. Another one for my alarmingly expanding wishlist!

One of my favorite perfumes of all time. Opens with a blast of realistic citrus, and then settles to a tea-forward fragrance with a tiny touch of spice. I think those that are criticizing this for being too fresh aren't smelling the stunning warm tea undertones that reveal themselves after the first 10 minutes. I agree with the reviewer who said it doesn't smell like green tea, but an orange-infused black tea. I only wish it lasted longer!

A lovely summer fragrance from someone who is not a fan of tea too much. This is what Elizabeth Arden Green Tea should be. Tea with a burst of mandarin and lots of floral mandarin blossom, osmanthus and white musk.The tea dominates. Fresh and pretty. The final drydown loses the sweetness and becomes a bit like a smokey vetiver. In addition to tea, there seems to be some petitgrain or vetiver in here.
