The market for Tea runs from body mist to otto extrait.
Chanel, Guerlain and niche counters share a family and disagree on dose.
Houses
- Bvlgari — The tea line’s inventor in perfume.
- Hermès — Ellena’s Yunnan and sheers.
- Elizabeth Arden — Volume green tea.
- L’Artisan — Giacobetti teas.
- Creed — Silver Mountain Water.
- Japanese niche — Sencha and incense-tea.
Price bands
- Mall green tea — Arden-type EDT.
- Jewelry-house tea — Bvlgari eaux.
- Watercolor niche — Hermès / L’Artisan.
- Smoked extraits — Incense-tea, still not oud-loud.
Trends
- Skin-tea musks — 2020s quiet.
- Matcha pastry — Border gourmand.
- Named gardens — Yunnan, Uji as copy.
- Anti-Calone tea — Steam instead of melon-sea.
Stats
- 1992 origin — A late family compared with rose or cologne.
- Oil yield — Tea leaf is not a commercial essential-oil crop for perfume.
- Sillage — Among the lowest of the 24 by intent.
- Ellena effect — One nose defined the genre’s ethics.
Price is not quality; it is harvest, IFRA and a story about Tea.
