Another Tea

received today. blind buy- someone was letting go of it. LOVE at first sniff. very realistic green tea scent. the BAREST jasmine in the opening which i appreciate (i do love jasmine, but it tends to be so overpowering)- and i continue to catch the subtlest wisps of white floral as it dries down on me, but the tea predominates throughout. i've found that certain brands make oolong tea smell a tad too strong, almost pungent, but this is not the case here- the tea scent is light and refreshing while holding its own. definitely not a sweet tea scent (if you want that go get tea in the morning, from this same brand), and i could see this being comfortably unisex. funny how the same scent can work differently on different people! there are a good number of reviews lamenting how jasmine forward this is. someone compared this to do son but i would have to disagree. i have that too and THAT is a very in your face jasmine but this was absolutely not. so i guess something to take note of if you get this blindly is that you have a 50% chance of it smelling like tea and a 50% chance of it smelling like jasmine on you hahaha

In Short: Very realistic oolong jasmine tea. Love at first sniff. It's like you're sipping a warm cup of tea in the morning getting ready for the day. It gives off natural, soothing, and calming vibes. This is one of the most realistic tea fragrance I've ever come across. It is the smell of Chinese jasmine tea I used to drink. I love that it's bitter, green, clear, and not sweet at all. Although jasmine is prominent here, it's neither cloying nor too floral. The tea part is very unisex but the jasmine part could leans a tiny bit more feminine. But I think men can easily pull it off just like everyone can drink tea. Lasts decent amount of time, not all-day long but definitely performs -- around 4-5 hours. Projects moderately -- easily noticable in the first hour or two before setting into skin scent.

The absolute best in the entire MITH collection. I kid you not. This deserves to be their magnum opus. I'd love to support the brand more but their customer service is so terrible that I stopped buying from them altogether soon afterwards. Fragrance deserves 5 stars, but the customer service deserves 2 stars at best. Scent-wise, this is the most realistic Oolong Jasmine tea I've ever come across. I love my bottle to bits. Similar scents: MITH's Good Morning Jasmine, Diptyque's Do Son. Update: I don't know if I'll be supporting the brand any further. One of the employees told me he and his colleagues had to work 10-12 hours a day for the brand without being given a seating in the department store. The fragrance price has now also been escalated from 1459 THB to 1759 THB for a 60 ml bottle.

When traveling to Thailand I had Dona a little research on what scents could be of interest to me and this one was at the top of my list. When there I tried it and thought it had a weird sour tinge on my skin, so a brought another bottle from the same brand. With that purchase I got a tester of another tea and I so regret not getting a bottle. Now that I'm home I get the scent I was expecting and it's truly delightful! I love sone white florals but I know it can be a little bit much depending on the fragrance. This to me is a very refined jasmine, I believe the tea makes it a bit sophisticated while keeping it pretty minimalist which I've realized is my personal sweetspot. I hope in the future there'll be an affordable way to get my hands on it in Europe!

Have you ever been inside a HeyTea? This is exactly what that smells like and I love it. I was graciously given a sample of this (which Im so so thankful for) and this is full bottle worthy for me! The jasmine and tea notes are very well balanced on my skin with the jasmine not overwhelming the oolong - rather they compliment each other. There's this slightly smokiness from the tea that's very warm and comforting... I've never been a fan of those buzz words fragrance influencers use but I have to admit that this scent actually does invoke that for me! On my friend though, it's quite jasmine forward so this may not be a safe blind buy for some if you're more interested in the oolong note.
