White Darjeeling

Discovered this gem in Korea and wore it throughout my whole trip. It was love at first sniff and I fell more in love with it with each wear. The opening is bright, slightly fruity and herbal. It dries down to a lovely fresh woody musk. I’m not normally a fan of tea scents but this one is done so well. It feels light and refreshing to wear. The only downside is the longevity and intimate sillage. Maybe 3-4 hours of wear until it’s a skin scent but I don’t mind having to respray this beauty.

First blast of carb-y, soft fruit, marred by stinging alcohol.. Let this one breathe a bit. A beautiful delicate mildly fruity spring tea scent steps forward, bringing to mind flowing white cotton dresses and dewy meadows. Incredibly lovely if one-note through the drydown. Ultra feminine and would work best in mild weather.

Sit in front of a vanity and there is a powder puff to your right. Powder your forehead, chin, and underneath your eyes. Imagine what you wish clouds would taste like. Teacups rimmed with gold. Tiffany hearts with Tiffany blue. End with a cup of darjeeling, five (or six) cubes of sugar in it.

Like the comments say: a bit musty, a bit bubbly and flowery. A combination of all that seems to fade away within one hour. Smells a lot like coconut to my nose. Great for the office if you're going for that mellow spring feel.

Smells like diluted Arizona peach tea, with the typical powdery, sometimes "musty" sandalwood-and-musk combo at the base that feels like a rite of passage for these new minimal-chic brands. Overall it's just OK, and was the easiest on my nose out of all the Tamburins offerings at the time (as I found the stores to smell overwhelmingly of metallic notes and synthetic musk). I'll probably check out their perfume balms/hand/lip stuff next time I'm looking for a souvenir in Seoul, as I can't really see myself making a dent in any of their spray perfumes as of late.
