Tea, 1992: Thé Vert · 554
Choose Tea by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Thé Vert” in 1992 titles that note, and 1992 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. Read Osmanthus as dose and geometry, not a mood board — that is how Tea is argued.
Tea sits in the Breeze group of this atlas. Air and leaf — citrus, herbs, marine, green stems and tea steam. An infusion accord — green, smoked or osmanthus tea as steam, paper and leaf, not dessert. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay.
One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more. All year, close to skin. Heat can turn smoked tea into ash. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter.
IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet. Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose.
On the blotter, keep 1992, “Thé Vert,” and 1992. Without them Tea blurs.1992
