The Time

The Time" by House of Oud is a fragrant invitation to pause and savor life’s quiet moments. This enchanting perfume captures the essence of freshly brewed tea, wrapping you in a warm, comforting embrace. The aromatic blend evokes the tranquility of a serene afternoon, inviting you to sit down, breathe deeply, and embrace stillness. The scent opens with uplifting notes reminiscent of delicate herbs and spices, seamlessly transitioning into a soothing heart of rich tea leaves. Subtle earthy undertones ground the experience, enhancing the feeling of cozy serenity. It’s a fragrance that not only captivates the senses but also encourages mindfulness, making each wear a moment of calm in the hustle of daily life. "The Time" is truly a celebration of the art of slowing down and savoring the present. I think it can be worn in any climate and during any time of day. I'm a female, and I love it on me, but my husband also smells divine in it. Unisex and the leanings change by the person, in my experience.

The Time or Thé Time (tea time in French) is a tea masterpiece. As a self proclaimed tea fragrance expert, this is what I had been looking for for years when I discovered this beauty three years ago. In this composition, tea is set on a base of light woods and florals. The flowers aren't creamy or pink, they're airy and aromatic. And oh does this last. I can smell it at the end of work day. Tea scents will never perform loudly like oud bombs; they're not intended for the "notice me in this room" effect, that was never their purpose. However, people will stop you and ask what you're wearing simply because it's an unparalleled refined and sophisticated scent. Subtlety, calmness, elegance, and peace is what tea evokes. This fragrance is one of my signature scents. I gravitate towards it when I want to feel happy. In a more rational way, I also wear this to work and during important meetings or work events as I know it could hardly offend anyone.

Tried this today and both my wife and I fell in love with it. The opening reminds me of a nice tea rose smell even though it's not rosy at all - it's just that pleasant. I'm not good at picking notes but I can say it's spicy, airy, crowd pleasing, comforting, not vanillac or ambery, not too woody, and not aromatic in the medicinal sense. Just a slightly fruity, slightly spicy, floral tea that is hard to dislike IMO. Good longevity and OK sillage. Definitely give it a try if you come across it. Bottle is hideous but oh well. Also quite overpriced IMO so look for it on discounter websites. Found if on Jumashop for half retail.

Fifth essence of excellence, exclusive for lovers of aromatic / citrus fragrances. Opening notes a sensational and Mediterranean bergamot drenched with a celestial chamomile, followed by a green train of Roman wormwood. Very delicate floral central notes blend with the vigorous opening citrus notes. Enclosed in a passionate and very delicate woody background, over time it melts into the skin and turns into a grandiose talc, with slight vanilla assonances. The Time by The House of Oud gives the world exciting olfactory experiences, which ennoble and enrich more and more world niche perfumery.

Quenches your thirst. Well done House of Oud. Smells like sipping an arnold palmer on a tall country club hill over looking the salty ocean! I got a sample of this, but could see myself buying this to wear on a vaction to a seaside village in northern France during the early summer. The Lemon Verbena smells lovely in this fragrance, and the tea notes just make you want to keep sipping/sniffing lol! While anyone can wear this, it's likened for the more mature, and sophisticated. Quite unisex too, which I love!

This is a such a beautiful fragrance. Upon spraying it, the whiff of bergamot carries which could be a bit much, but the white floral note complements it really well. And then it develops into a sublime, long lasting, herbal green tea smell. It's just divine, very well balanced in my opinion. Perfect for a date. ***Others remarked that the smell they detect is a reminiscent of a "toilet cleaning product."...girl... i want my toilet to smell like that, what do you mean.

Strong tea opening, a warm cup of black oriental tea on a cool day. It settles into a quiet breeze, the sound of wooden wind chimes. The smell of the trees in the garden drifts in. Comforting and meditative. It's beautiful and mellow. Not much projection, I have to smell my arm to know it's there. But the longevity is good - it still smells as strong after a few hours. This is my new favourite fragrance!

It gives the feeling of drinking chamomile tea in your cozy balcony wearing soft white shirt while you smell the citrus and green leaves in the breeze. this one is really easy to like for someone who enjoys the tea note. clean and refreshing with good longevity and moderate sillage.

I adore it, but I do find it rather weak. HOWEVER, I wore it to play some light sports and ~1.5 hours after application someone about 10 feet away said “what smells so good??” And it was me. A beautiful scent for when you want something light and easy.

i really like this. a lot of tea notes make it very welcoming. got a lot of compliments with this and on my skin lasts 12+ hrs. on my clothes even longer.....like 4 days. best tea fragrance i have so far.

Really nice fragrance. Blind bought. It's fresh, citrusy, with nice tea notes. Thankfully, not getting powdery notes. Good price point if you find at discounters. Very easy to wear.

To me this smells very similar to Moschino's I Love Love but without the sweat aroma, whatever that sour/salty element may be.

Best thing I have ever smelt but such a shame the performance is terrible

The Time (Thé Time?) is an intimate aromatic scent, cooling and refreshing without relying on citrus notes. Its performance is extremely limited however, and given its price point, I could never justify buying a full bottle. It is a tea-centred scent - a note I love. Clean and soothing, it is nicely composed and pleasant throughout. It just doesn't last much beyond an hour. TT opens with bitter, herbal wormwood and a drop of bergamot - refreshing and aromatic from the very beginning. The chamomile enhances the herbal quality, and the cool tea note creeps in shortly afterwards. A hint of herbal-lemon verbena rounds it out, and it quickly dries down to a woody, musky skin scent. Sillage is intimate and longevity is weak. A simple, comforting scent, it is the kind of scent I would spray after a shower/at bedtime in hot weather in an aromatherapy context. Definitely overpriced in this context, however. A nice composition that is perfectly unisex, it loses points for its performance, or lack thereof. 2.5/5.

THOO writes "blue tea" instead of oolong as a heart note. While blue tea and oolong are synonymous in Chinese culture it has nothing to do with the butterfly pea flower which westerners often connect with the color blue in tea. Smelling this my initial reaction was green. Smooth greens and yellow citruses. But throughout the progression of this fragrance and as a smooth buttery heart of iris and cedar started taking up more space and the tea turned darker i realised i was thinking of a deep indigo. Somehow still fresh and vibrant.

gorgeous tea scent! I wasn't really sure what to expect with the combination of chamomile, wormwood, and lemon verbena, but I find this to be energizing when first sprayed and more comforting as it dries down and the initial notes fade away. I think this would make a great year round tea scent as its perfectly fresh smelling, but not too summery.

I love the opening and the instant fresh oolong and black tea scent. I wish it was stronger and longer lasting. It's definitely a fragrance you wear for yourself, others won't smell it. No sillage, very little projection, very faint. Lasts maybe 2-3 hours on my skin. I love the smell though, it's lovely and would be perfect if it lasted longer.

Smells like another fancy hotel lobby fragrance. I dont know why but citrus/tea combos often go that direction for me. It smells nice though. No toilet cleaning product vibes whatsoever. Also reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and yes Dear Polly as well.

Superb tea scent, I like the hint of smoke here, even if its pretty tame. I would call it a safer and more palatable cousin of Byredo Mixed Emotions, where the smokiness is amped to 11, but well balanced with sweet and sour gorgeous black currant.

Very pleasant, I edit the comment for 3rd time, cause its growing on me so much. There is a small but noticeable hint of smokiness and also some sweetness, like some blueberry tea. If only performance was better...
