Tea is quickly becoming one of modern perfumery’s most compelling notes. From energising blends to grounding compositions, tea-infused scents are shaping up as fragrance’s next major obsession. Better still, these four brews prove that there’s a tea fragrance for every mood.
01 - Armani Privé Thé Yulong EDT, SGD310 for 100 ML
A cult favourite for good reason, this aromatic green fragrance transports you straight to China’s Yulong Mountains. At its heart, black and green tea create a contrast that feels smoky yet fresh, and strong yet serene simultaneously. Mandarin orange, petitgrain and cardamom open the scent with brightness, before jasmine and orange blossom soften the composition. Finally, vetiver and delicate musks settle elegantly on the skin for an effortless lingering trail. ARMANI BEAUTY
02 - Bvlgari Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial EDT, SGD243 for 75 ML
Originally created exclusively for guests of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts, Thé Impérial now joins the wider Eau Parfumée collection celebrating tea’s multifaceted character. Built around Sri Lankan black tea, the composition brightens beautifully with Italian citrus for a luminous East-meets-West balance. Meanwhile, soft botanical nuances smooth the fragrance further, creating an uplifting serenity reminiscent of a luxurious spa escape. BVLGARI
03 - Kilian Paris Imperial Tea Eau de Parfum, SGD463 for 50 ML
An homage to jasmine green tea, Kilian Paris reimagines the timeless brew through a distinctly modern lens. Bergamot lifts the fragrance instantly, while laminaria seaweed introduces an unexpected marine twist with airy mineral facets and hints of sea mist. Then as the scent settles, vetiver and musk anchor the composition beautifully, allowing the tea accord to linger long after the first spritz. KILIAN PARIS
04 - Le Labo Thé Noir 29 EDP, SGD335 for 50 ML
This modern icon celebrates black tea in its most sensual form. Designed as a sensorial balancing act, the fragrance matches depth with freshness and softness with strength. Its name references the 29 ingredients shaping the layered composition. Fig, bay leaf and bergamot create an aromatic opening, before cedarwood, vetiver and musk warm the heart. Eventually, tobacco and hay settle into an addictive, smoky finish. LE LABO FRAGRANCES
