A fan of oriental and chypre fragrances, I was Intrigued by the idea of tea-inspired scents. I originally ordered a sampler, assuming I would enjoy the spicier varieties, but the real revelation for me was Green Tea. This is a surprising mix of light, ‘green’ notes of herbs and citrus, and the rich spice elements I really love. Perfect for those who enjoy rich scents but are looking for something lighter for summer. The coconut oil base gives this a perfume-like texture for dabbing on pulse points, and I find the scent lasts about 4 hours.
I went on to order the full-size bottle, which comes in an exquisite little hand-finished box and is thoughtfully packaged. Handcrafted, natural, vegan and smells wonderful – what’s not to like!

These perfumes are perfect if you are a tea connoisseur. A clean, yet herbal fragrance. The lemongrass is strong early, but eventually mellows down. This scent is better for warmer weather, but is versatile enough for the entire year if you enjoy bracing and cool fragrances. Definitely hits up the herbal, grassy, and fresh nature of green tea.

This perfume perfectly captures the essence of all that is green, not just green tea! Whilst it does perfectly reflect a green tea; with grassy, lemon notes, the scent also delves deeper, encapsulating the outdoors with undercutting warm wood, earth, pine and moss, giving this fragrance a more masculine edge. I really enjoyed this on both myself and on my husband!

Fresh green, but with a smoky edge to it. It is more sophisticated and complex than many natural fragrances., while remaining understated and subtle.
It is light enough to wear as a spring/summer perfume, though the spices in it make it great for cooler weather as well.
Will happily purchase again.
