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.

Opens up with a joyous citrus sparkle. It is a dream-like scent, a dream where you are feeling a soft wind to your face in the middle of a sunny greenness. Very fresh and subtle, the greenness is very refreshing. It doesn't last long on the skin, but while it does it is absolutely beautiful. It is similar to 4711 but has more sophisticated development with a hint of green.

tea, black tea, green tea, mandarine, honey, osmanthus is in the background, very zesty; kind of happy, carefree summer afternoon, love it. Performance can be better. I am talking about the og bottle..

I love this fragrance so much! Tea is one of my favorite notes for the spring season. This is one of the best tea fragrances I have tried, next to the merchant of Venice’s blue tea

I didn't get much citrus in Annick Goutal L'Ile au Thé. Instead, it behaves quite soapy on me during the opening. Fortunately, the green tea emerges after about 20 minutes, and the soapy tone recedes into the background. The green tea is fresh and leafy with an almost grainy texture, which gives out a very realistici feeling. There's also a discreet honeyed jasmine nuance, which makes it almost like jasmine tea, but it's much less sweeter than By Kilian Imperial Tea. The sillage is soft and the longevity is around 5 hours. L'Ile au Thé does seem to have a certain depature from other offerings of Annick Goutal: it's not as emotional or retro as the early offerings, nor is it as whimsical as Nuit Etoilée or Mandragore. But at the same time, I do find it a very pleasant and solid green tea fragrance: its green tea note is very natural and realistic, not too sweet or watery or wispy or overly synthetic like some fragrances of the same genre can be. For a refreshing green tea experience, I think it worths a try.

I was looking for a summer tea scent, so more the type that is vibrant and herbal, not roasted and smooth tea note. I found L'ile au thé slightly discounted at a perfume shop website and the notes looked good but I never blind buy perfumes so I wasn't sure. Well, I blind bought it in the end. I am not disappointed but I am not in love either. It is fresh, it has the vibrant tea note and it is floral citrusy, so I like it. I am still to try it on a very hot day, I think it will be great then.

Fresh tea but without any sharpness that you sometimes find in green tea fragrances. Sweetness from the mandarin. I also get a slight spearminty note though not listed here. Inoffensive and easy fragrance with a small sillage. Nice but nothing extraordinary. I’d like a bit more body and more facets in a tea scent but can see how this would appeal to some.

Sharp citrus opening. Yes, this definitely feels like a cup of black tea with a squeeze of lemon. It's very pretty and inoffensive; combined with the small sillage and short longevity, it'd probably make a good office fragrance. Pleasant but there's a part of me that wants a little more substance, though in what dimension I don't know.

This is a warm and shimmery tea fragrance that's a true unisex scent. It opens with a burst of citrus which bears some resemblance to Eau d'Hadrien, but this is distinctly greener. It's a really lovely perfume, lasts quite long into the day, although very lightly. A perfect perfume for after shower on a warm day.

Naturalistic green tea fragrance. Like the bitterness when you are crunching up fresh leaves in your hand. Very refreshing for hot days. Disappears on me completely within 4-5 hors.

Such a wonderful sweet and floral tea scent! Despite the notes it doesn't pull very citrusy on my skin. The dry down is soft and a little powdery without smelling like soap or laundry (these don't work for me as they pull kind of musty and dirty on my skin for some reason). Actually, it could smell like soap, but a very fancy one - it doesn't have the generic soap scent I often find I have to avoid. It doesn't smell like osmanthus but more of a general light floral with honey and some greenness bordering it. This worked well in humid weather. Sillage is very weak.

Like sticking your face into the steam of a mild black tea with generous honey and a touch of lemon. This is almost too photorealistic to be pleasant to wear. I don't love it, probably because the honey note comes out cloying and synthetic to me. As a perfume, this is more pleasant smelled from about a foot away, rather than up close on your skin.

I'm getting a sharp tea note at the first spray, which slowly melts into a lighter brew infused with all of the citruses. Not sharp but rather fresh giving you that "out of the shower" feeling. Reminiscent of childhood, more particularly of Elizabeth Arden "Green Tea".

I mean, its decent. I love osmanthus and green tea, so I should love this. This reminds me of EXTRA herbal chewing gum. The longevity and sillage needs improvement. Its inoffensive and good for everyday wear. It's just not a perfume I love.

L'Ile au Thé is a fresh fragrance and say where actually pretty green tea note is the main protagonist of the composition. Open fresh with soft citrus and tangerine, very artificial to what we are accustomed Maison, once a slight floral, faint as if a light breeze gave you in the face, suddenly note, the note tea appears to stay until the end, is accompanied by a very high note leather style Duel and another note musky that I find somewhat repetitive of many fresh fragrances Goutal style Les Nuits d'Hadrien. Not clear who wanted to get through this, it's kind of scent of fresh grass unnaturally, with a terpene point enclosed in a greenhouse and wrapped in a plastic-like aroma. I think with this fragrance have just completed effortlessly and without risk, and taking into account the large Goutal fragrances that has given us this very loose game. Rating: 4.5

A classical, dated, boring and uninspired fresh green tea fragrance. Very citrus (along the lines of Eau d'Hadrien), with notes of petit grain, lots of green tea (slightly smoky) and musky base notes. It smells like most of the clean unisex fragrances massively launched during the 90s. I don't understand why Camille Goutal decided to add this to their range. Ok, maybe their citrus offerings are their bestselling perfumes (Eau d'Hadrien, Eau du Sud) but I think that they seriously need to take some risks and add some orientals in their collection.
