Green Tea

By the editors · 2 min readA crisp, transparent fragrance built around the astringency of green tea rather than the sweetness of white florals. The opening is bracingly citric—lemon and bergamot sharpened with spearmint—evoking the first steam from a teacup. As it settles, oakmoss lends an unexpected chypre backbone, grounding what could have been merely refreshing into something more substantial.

The jasmine here is pale and restrained, never blooming into full indolic richness. Instead, it floats beneath the cool green notes like light through water. The musk is clean, almost soapy, reinforcing the scrubbed, post-shower clarity of the composition.

This is fragrance as palate cleanser: minimal, linear, unapologetically straightforward. It suits those who want scent to feel like an extension of personal hygiene rather than adornment, or anyone seeking refuge from the heavy orientals that dominated the late nineties.
