Tea, 1996: Thé Blanc

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. Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.
