Culot Thé

I got Versatile discovery card and out of the 5 vials I received, Culot The is one of my top 2. Upon smelling it for the first time, I got a very energizing, citrusy zing with green, slightly vegetal tea notes shadowing in the background (however, not much of jasmine). If you're looking for a good out-of-shower vibe in a perfume, please try this! The best part about Culot The, the oil does not smell "perfumey" at all. It smells very natural and almost photorealistic honestly. Thanks to good quality of EOs, I suppose. I can't stop smelling myself when I have this on my skin. The scent does not travel far (it just lingers on my skin with ±10 cm projection lol) so if that's what you're looking for in a perfume then this might not meet your expectation. Note: I see some ppl compare this to Goutal's Le Chevrefeuille (also my fav from Goutal house!). Although both bear resemblance in terms of freshness, I feel like LC has more herbal & floral façade and not as zingy/tart as this. LC is like the breeze of air you'd smell if you're running through a countryside meadow while the sun is out, as for CT it smells more like a aromatic, high quality lemon-tea concoction. Both are really good pick-me-up scents btw!

This is such an intriguing line of fragrances; I was underwhelmed by the ones I expected to adore (still nothing I dislike, though), and absolutely fell for a couple that I thought I'd pass on. This is one of the latter, and in the top three (two? I keep flip-flopping) of the line for me. On me, this starts out zesty and citrusy, but very quickly becomes that apricoty black tea others mention. So far, very pleasant but nothing to get me truly intrigued (although you can pick up a bit of that wasabi, which definitely adds interest). But then! I keep getting hit with waves of the coumarin after the first 30 minutes or so, mixing with the jasmine and still retaining just a little bit of its earlier kick. To me, this is a lovely, extremely wearable everyday scent that still manages to be just a little special.

"Tea" is indeed a proper word to describe this perfume. The kind of tea scent that I'd always dreamed to find. Delicate yet noticeable, nectary, comforting like a hug, a green happy floral scent that's not too sweet or overbearing, with a hint of coconut-like gourmet flavor. You want to smell it again and again, which happens to many other perfumes from Versatile. One thing I appreciate about this perfume is that the sillage is sweet and does not smell too bitter in the end.

Sharp as a knife! Lemon and wasabi will really dilate your pupils. It is almost unwearable. And then, this fragrance become a calm embrace: rich, full and heady. The aroma of green tea is absolutely real and jasmine complements it beautifully. You will also notice the sour apricot soon: it keeps the scent captivating and provocative. Culot Thé is amazing, complex perfume. I am looking forward to experience it again: there is so much to explore!

I agree with the review below this is beautiful mood booster, comforting & mellow. This is a green, jasmine & tea scent that immediately calms your senses. I find floral green scents really relaxing and this would be great at bed time too or in stress induced situations. A comforting hug in a bottle. It reminds me of a more mellow/calming version of Call for a good time by Discotheque. IG/Tiktok: @wilddew_vibes
