Quick answers
What is Tea?
An infusion accord — green, smoked or osmanthus tea as steam, paper and leaf, not dessert.
EDP vs EDT — what changes?
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.
How should I wear Tea?
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.
Which season fits?
All year, close to skin. Heat can turn smoked tea into ash.
Does skin chemistry change it?
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.
What about IFRA and oakmoss?
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.
Wear Tea on skin first; cloth and heat rewrite the pyramid.
One spray at the sternum, then wait — sillage is not a contest.
Seasons
- Spring — Green tea and jasmine pearls.
- Summer — Thé Pour un Été logic.
- Autumn — Osmanthus and smoked teas.
- Winter — Chai spice leaves the family toward oriental.
Occasions
- Office — Designed low offense.
- Day jewelry / gallery — Bvlgari quiet.
- Travel — Does not saturate a cabin.
- Evening — Only smoked or osmanthus-suede teas.
Tips
- Smell a real sencha first — Calibrates “green tea” candles.
- If it is sweet, it is not leaf — Matcha pastry is gourmand.
- Reapply like cologne — Steam dies.
- Osmanthus if peach-tired — Adult fruit-tea.
- Avoid stacked home tea — Candle plus EDP is a spa shop.
- Mate for bitterness — When green tea reads as cologne.
Pairings
- The drink itself — Obvious and correct.
- Rice and steam — Shared quiet.
- Paper and cedar caddies — Dry leaf storage.
- Not milk-sugar chai bomb — Unless the brief is gourmand.
dayparts
- Morning — Light dose on skin; heat and soap rewrite the top.
- Afternoon — Reapply only if the heart still reads — cloth holds more than skin.
- Evening — One spray at the sternum; sillage is not a contest.
- Night — Skip heavy layering; sleep and residual soap matter more than a third spray.
If Tea dies at hour three, the heart was never built.
