White Tea

I blind bought this as it was on sale and I love a good tea fragrance. I love it! It's fresh but also creamy, particularly in the dry down. Smells somehow rich but also casual and effortless. Someone below mentioned a hidden vanilla note. I can see this, and even though I'm not a vanilla fan, here it's very nice. Definitely unisex, not that I put much stock into how any fragrance is gendered. I find it really unique and pleasant and an interesting take on the common white tea genre. I was also surprised by its great longevity. It lasts for hours on skin (I could still smell it faintly 8-10 hours later) and days subtly on clothing. Paired with it's restrained sillage (not overpowering but present), it's a stunner. I just got it last week and it's been below freezing here in the UK. It really works in this weather, and I'm excited to see how it behaves in warmer and hot weather. The bottle is nice and high quality and I love the simple design, but it's insanely thick and heavy. It's only 50ml but it feels like it should contain 100ml or more (there's like an inch of glass!) I can't help but feel it's trying to deceive you into thinking there's more inside than there actually is.

This has surprised me by becoming one of my most used scents this spring (Australia). It is so fresh, clean and grounding. I would describe it as a fresh floral musk. The white tea note adds to the freshness. You’ll enjoy it if you’re into softer sweet tea scents like Ellis Brooklyn Sci Fi, which is another favourite of mine. Freesia is the most prominent note to my nose and then it settles into a sweet mossy, musky dry down. It’s yummy smelling. I’m not sure what is giving the sweetness, perhaps tea or peony? I could have sworn this was a vanilla based scent. This is definitely a skin scent and unlikely to offend or cause a headache. Longevity on me is about 3-4 hours, so a top up is needed. However, at this price I don’t mind. I will be sampling more Korres fragrances! I have sampled all of the Elizabeth Arden White Tea flankers and this is a so much more youthful and well blended white tea frag. The EA ones come off screechy and dated to me. I had to scrub them.

I am allergic to caffeine so I can't drink tea (aside from herbal tea), but I can smell it and I love it. This is a refreshing loud, green scent similar to BBW Misty Morning (soapy lily of the valley, Green Tea, White amber) only not as grassy pungent as that one, with intense fresh bergamot, the sweet girly peony and a 90s freesia-ozonic and perfumey flare to it. It also has a soapy element to it by the dewy peony-neroli, and some tart tone from the mandarin. The calming white tea pairs great with the creamy oak moss-musk blend. Lasts about 2 hrs on me, perfect bed-time scent for the summer.

Oooh this is smooth. I see they have taken out the cotton and cyclamen from the 2011 vs. and I like it better! Peony is added and has that out of the bath, clean soapy feeling. It's called White Tea and if they would have called it Narcissus I think it would better suit the smell. It's a yellow floral that is sort of dusky, slightly sweet and the oak moss in the dry down makes this smell very expensive. It's not going to be an attention grabber but it's a nice finish to a casual outfit doing casual everyday things.

Clean, fresh, earthy floral. Perfect for summer and those warmer fall days, in my opinion. There’s something about it that’s just so pretty and clean, but not in a soapy way. It also has a lovely powdery, musky dry down that’s so good! For the price, it’s a real gem. Especially in Greece, you can easily find it for under 20 euros almost all year round in many online pharmacies. And the longevity and sillage are decent for an EDT.

I love this perfume! It's clean and fresh without being sweaty or pungently soapy, very light and great for spring and summer. Unfortunately, the longevity and projection aren't great. Still, the scent really does make up for it, and I feel that I don't particularly want this specific scent to be intense anyway. Really great for the price!

If you are looking for a body lotion type or body cream type of perfume, this is one of the best. Summery with the tea note giving freshness and guite long lasting as the price is really really affordable -so you can't loose...if you want to feel your body moisturising all the time take this with you in your bag 💕🛍️

Korres doesn’t miss! This is creamy cleanness in a bottle. Upon the first spray, the citruses appear, then they settle to a nice smooth white tea, which is given prominence from the musk. Longevity isn’t beast but I get some hours especially when I spray my clothes as well.

Nyári felüdülés, zuhany után, fehér inghez. 1x-2x érdemes frissíteni, de nyáron mit nem?! S akkor jönnek szépen újra sorban a fázisok, neroli, frézia, tea, pézsma... Szuper illat! Nem azonos stílus EA white tea-vel, azt is szeretem, de az egészen más.

Would agree with the other reviews—abysmal longevity but an absolute favorite scent. The creeaaaammy drydown was such a pleasant surprise. It’s so unfortunate how this is almost immediately gone after application :( Hoping Korres releases an EDP

this fragrance is so good. the opening smells like raspberry jam for some reason! sadly it doesnt last at all on me, so i'm glad i only bought the 10ml version. i really wish it did last and project a bit more though, since it's so good:(

This is perfect for what it is. It's an easy reach, and for the price, you can't beat it. It's creamy, fresh, and clean. I sometimes layer it with fig scents in my collection.

Clean, fresh, and sexy. A perfect summer scent! Keep handy as it doesn't last all too long. I'd definitely reccomend for people whose noses are sensitive to strong smells :)

beautiful summery and floral, feels vaguely nostalgic, like i'm back at my summer house with my mother. not great longevity unfortunately

Absolutely phenomenal...korres is by far the best brand for minimalistic fragrances

Get it in a set! Shower gel smells divine, as well!

First impressions: I love the packageing, the bottle is really heavy glass - simple but of quality. The scent itself is very generic. However, it is pleasant and light. I first tried it on in a cafe and a girl near my table told her boyfriend "oh, something smells good here" after about 2 minutes I had sprayed it. I know it does not have cammonille note but it gives me sweet camomille tea and hand cream vibes. I don't know yet how I will feel about it but it certainly is a kind of scent you could try to wear to work or if you are prone to headaches. I certainly like the dry-down much more than the top notes. I was looking for a non-toxic and affordable fragrance and am satisfied enough to try other Korres EDTs as well. EDIT: ok, hello, Im back. I have worn it for a week. It is perfect. I never feel like overwhelming myself or anyone else with this scent but whenever I lean in to hug someone for greeting, I get a comment "you smell so good". I suppose it is good, that it smells quite generic. I would say it is relatively safe blind-buy if you are more sensitive to smells - it is a crowdpleaser.

A glorified eau de cologne at best. Some of Korres EDT suffers seriously from a total lack of longevity and projection. Like they smell really, really nice, but I can smell for instance White Tea half an hour to two and that’s it. It’s gone! This scent has so much potential to be amazing, it smells absolutely wonderful! It’s a very feminine, bright and refreshing citrusy, tea scent with white florals and peonies on a musky base but the performance is really lacking in my experience. There’s not much substance to it unfortunately. I am sorry to be so negative with my comment about poor longevity and sillage because this is such an affordable Greek brand, but Korres should reformulate some of their scents in order to increase their concentration. I would pay more money to have better longevity, cause otherwise the scents are beautifully done. Like White Tea for instance! Gorgeous juice!!!

28F. This is the “safest” fragrance in my current rotation. It’s what I wear when I don’t particularly feel like making a statement, I just want to smell fresh and clean and unobtrusively pleasant. The fragrance equivalent of putting on a simple white shirt. There’s no singular standout amongst the notes, but altogether it reads as a light and refreshing floral tea scent with a hint of citrus (non-synthetic, thankfully) to round things out. Korres does these type of clean scents very well at an affordable price point, so I’d say this is a safe blind buy for those looking for an airy daytime fragrance that won’t offend anyone and blends seamlessly into your personal bubble. Sillage is light and becomes a skin scent around the ~3-4 hour mark. Works well on its own or as a versatile layering component to brighten up smoky woods or soften anything astringent.

Recent acquisition and happy to have it. I wear this almost every day its such an easy reach. To my nose this is a clean soapy scent but dries a bit creamy. It has a hint of sweetness but i would not classify this as a sweet perfume. Its perfect for hot humid weather. Actually smells like a nice bodywash. Very inoffensive with light sillage. I can smell white tea with a hint of sweetness from the peony. On me it turned into a skin scent within 1 hour or so. This is a very good office summer humid weather scent. Also if you are a healthcare worker this would be totally ok I think. Very well blended and smells higher quality than Elizabeth Arden tea fragrances. This is completly unisex IMO. I think this would smell amazing on a man too. This is a soft elegant fragrance that will not offend anyone or give you a headache.

Pleasing floraly musky scent, but very disappointing because of its poor longevity. It's bearly noticible after spraying, doesn't last even on clothes. Some body mists last longer. I don't detect strictly tea notes, mainly florals with musk. Another day: beautiful feminine musky floral. Elegant but fluffy and welcoming. Note to myself: Remeber to not but it again, it sits very close to the skin and it is noticible only with nose on a skin. Great composition, a no-brainer. If I ever get fragrant hypersensitive, this fragrance may be proper to use.

Very nice, hint of tea showing but mostly just clean smelling and fresh n not too musky and not too sweet but there is a clean sweetness from the white tea i think it goes nicely with freesia. Today I have layered with a spray of O freesia by diptique. Both of which i find lovely simple clean and elegant. I will buy a FB of Korres White Tea. And probably the vanilla freesia one possibly the black sugar too. Nice, mostly natural, and almost affordable enough to over spray and reapply throughout the days.

This is a soft perfume is a creamy billowy sweet white floral w/ a touch of a tea note. For me it's quite strong for an ETD. It's not aquatic, nor powdery. If anything it's creamy and lotion like, and a bit thick like a yoghurt. I like it, but it is slightly generic smelling. It's definitely a summer fragrance but personally I prefer more aquatic or sheer /nude scents in the summer. I have felt this to be on the milky lactonic side of business.

This is a nice fruity peppery tea with a hint of sweetness. You can feel the citrus but not too sharp, there is always a sweet note underneath, maybe the peony. The peppery notes of freesia combined with tea leafs are constant trough middle to end notes. medium sillage, good longevity, suited for all seasons. Update: I cannot sense any wood notes... somewhere between middle to base note it reminds me of Cerruti 1881.

while there's no great longevity, the scent makes up for it, & i'm pleased that the perfume itself isn't all that expensive compared to other perfumes, so i can spray a tad bit more than i usually do with my other scents. the scent itself isn't all that reminiscent of white tea (or tea in general), but it gives off a lovely nostalgic scent that reminds me of summertime.

I love tea fragrances and this one is very, very lovely. There's powdery musk, fresh flowers, fresh tea and a hint of citruses that evaporate quite quickly, as citruses like to do. Dries down to wonderful musky scent that's powdery and fresh at the same time and I love that. If only the longevity was a bit better.

If some of you miss bellflower (that I believe was discontinued) from this brand - don't worry. White tea smells more or less exactly like bellflower. An absolutely lovely, soft, airy and flowery perfume perfect for summer. I wish they made these in EDP:s.

White tea from Korres is really nice , fresh and comforting at the same time! I love that Korres doesn’t use phthalates 💙 my son gets teary eyes and sneezes when I use some other fragrances... not with Korres!

Top 5 clean scents. This doesn’t even need a description, it speaks for itself. But would it hurt to give it a longevity longer than a small bug? 🥲

I wanted to add something from Korres to my collection, and this scent spoke to me in-store. (Besides, I love every single note listed on the bottle, how convenient.) At that point, I was going a bit crazy for tea scents, and the name immediately caught my attention. I ended up ordering it online. It’s a nice floral for spring (groundbreaking), but I didn’t fully make friends with it. My skin makes it smell extra sweet for some reason, and it wasn’t the profile I was after. It smelled much better on a blotter. I personally don’t detect any tea whatsoever, and the tea note was what I was really looking for. It’s a very clean white floral with a dash of citrus. Very feminine, elegant, great for spring, and too sweet for summer. I’d call it a safe Mother’s Day gift for a mom who loves Lancôme.

A soft citrus tea fragrance that unexpectedly leans into a cosmetic, neroli cream on me. The opening is gentle but quickly develops a waxy, lotion‐like floral edge — more humid neroli cream than clean white tea. The blend stays smooth, but the overall impression is cosmetic rather than crisp, with a subtle sourness that reads more like cold‐cream floral than fruit or sharp citrus.

Very crispy and "sour", you can smell jasmin and citrus notes right away. Smells like something fresh and clean but Im not a fan to be frank. Reminds me of a toilet spray.

Not very fragrant, but the flowers are gently comforting.

I see creaminess being mentioned, and I'm just not getting that at all. I was expecting something softer/quieter, more cozy. This is very astringent to my nose and makes me want to cough. It almost reminds me of the witch hazel astringent or clearasil face pads I used to use on my face in the 90's. I tried to wait for the dry down a couple of times but I can't get past the opening. It was a scrubber for me, and the first Korres that I didn't like. Bummer.

I need to revisit but so far its just "ok" The opening smells a lot like zaras white jasmin and the trail of the original alien. I was very happy about that, but in skin it becomes a faint scrachy oakmossy powdery smell very quickly. No tea at all sadly... Not realy my thing.

I'd love to tell you how this fragrance smells like but I can't because I genuinely couldn't detect anything from one spray in the store. I've never met a perfume with such a poor longevity, projection, I was perplexed. This is extremely faint, and I checked if maybe I'd gone nose-blind but no! I could still smell other perfumes. I got the faintest floral/tea and after a minute - nothing.

Remember gap dream? This is like a grown up, mellowed version of that scent, which I loved back in middle school. Lots of freesia here, definitely a "clean" smelling scent, but very feminine. I agree with others that the dry down smells faintly creamy/vanilla to me even though that is not a listed note. I like it. If there is citrus here it's very much kept in check by the florals. This is a great everyday year round scent for anyone (like my mom for example) who likes a clean floral scent without lots of fruity or gourmand notes. There have been a lot of things like this over the years, so maybe not particularly novel or trendy, but this is a well executed version of that classic type of fragrance and it does smell current/modern.

The old white bottled White Tea from Korres ist a bit different from this brown one. In the white bottle there is a fresh bodylotiony, screechy white floral scent, whereas in the new brown bottle just the opening is alike, then it soon becomes a sunny, almost warm, powdery, beachy skinscent, which I love. I've also read it, that it can depend on the Batch code, how fresh/sweet it smells, but I just compared the two bottle editions. Longevity is saddening, it last like 15 minutes on me and simply disappeares from fabrics, as well.

The drydown of this smells like Penhaligon’s Equinox Bloom, I like this very much. It’s a very fresh and creamy, youthful white floral/ white tea, after-shower smell for a woman in her 20s and 30s. White Tea by Elizabeth Arden smelled like old woman fragrance so I had to sell it. I have a few other clean white floral scents like this: 1) Moschino Toy 2 2) Magnolia by Commodity 3) Boldly Seoul by Zara

This is my favourite 'hotel lobby' perfume! Smells really clean and like a nice hotel in a sunny location. Think: Shangri-La in Boracay or something in that vein. It doesn't last very long unfortunately, but for the price I am happy to reapply. I can't imagine anyone finding this very offensive.

gorgeous perfume, I personally like a more warm less fresh perfume but even I would wear this daily and for someone who enjoys these notes a lot if they smelled like this I would never turn down a hug.

In no way reminiscent of white tea, pleasant but fleeting sweet freesia like floral with a cosmetic as well as slightly minty undertone. Nothing wrong with it aside from the inaccurate name.

suchhh a clean fragrance! on me it dries down to a slightly sweet fresh white tea, it’s my go to when I don’t want to wear anything or when i’m going to sleep occasionally :’)

Also happy to confirm that this smells nothing like Arden white tea, which I found to be totally overwhelming and headachey.

This also reminds me of Alfred sung shi, only less aquatic and a bit creamier.

The aesthetics of the bottle are amazing. I love this medical look.
