Darjeeling Tea

I had first refused to try the 2 lightest-colored ones in fear that they might be too boring, but this one actually wasn't--it simply smelled bad! It was metallic and sour! So turns out, that's just what happens when you put them on those ceramic sticks (same thing happened to Chanel).. What a bad idea! Have they smelled it themselves?? Anyway, the lady insisted this particular one smells much better on the skin so I made room for it, and I'm so glad I did because it's now my 2nd favorite!

The white flowers definitely take the lead. They persist all the way through, but the artemisia is present in the dry down, giving that camphor/herbal note to the cologne. It's a lot like Honeysuckle and Davana, just not as sweet. Fair longevity and projection. It will sit pretty close to the skin after the first hour.

I‘m LOOKING FOR A BOTTLE, if anyone has one that is not going to cost me a liver, please private message me!

USD 205 for 175 ml. Unused, I really want to try this after pervious bottle is broken (USD 165 for partially used) but this arrived safely. Regarding the scent, I am honestly said that this is still fairly Tea-like and it is green, fresh and clean. It starts with Artemisia and Green accord dominantly Resulting in Bitter Tea (over-brew Tea) like. Not so long, before other White flower introduce to the scene. Mostly it is dry non-indolic semi-sweet jasmine, tiny bit powdery in Chinese tea manner. The scent melt together perfectly between Artemisia and Jasmine. I think it can be wear by both gender perfectly. Dress up a bit better but overall it is quite luxury. I personally think that the name “Darjeeling” might not really fit as Jasmine is prominent. “Jasmine Green Tea” would be a perfect name Scent is relatively subtle and thin perfect for every day use. Score 9/10 Classification Unisex (Homme 50%, Femme 50%) Longevity Projection : Intimate from the start.

I could proudly say to anyone that I love Jo Malone because Jo Malone teaches me love fragrance. In my mind, Jo Malone is a queen of tea-scented fragrance production. For Darjeeling Tea in Rare Tea Collection, It is really well-mixed floral and tea note. !!!! It’s sweet by floral composition like jasmine and other flowers, also relaxing green by tea. When I sprayed it, It‘s amazingly long-lasting on my skin, fair projection but close to the skin for many hours. What a nice fragrance! :)
