Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden was the first perfume I ever owned - it was pretty much the only thing I could afford being a freshman in uni, but even till this day I still enjoy it for more than just its nostalgic value. People here in North American tend to like sweet, spicy, gourmand scents a lot more than people in Asia, where light, refreshing, more subtle scents are more popular. I really wish more tea scents could be accessible to the US market.
FYI: Osmanthus is not only consumed as tea in China, it is also widely used for desserts. Some of my favorite tea fragrances: Spring / Summer / All Year Round Chakai by Ritual Earl Grey and Cucumber by Jo Malone ( Jo Malone has an entire Rare Tea Collection besides their regular offerings, and it is fabulous ) Tea by Commodity ( new formula , one with oolong, honey, tobacco etc ) Fall/Winter: Indigo by Nest ( main note: Moroccan Tea)
Was waiting for this video! Glad you mentionned the bvlgari (eau au thé blanc is my fav). You forgot the cheapies like Elizabeth Arden Green tea and White tea, yves rocher thé vert, caudalie thé des vignes
Tea is a note I don't tend to gravitate towards but kilians imperial tea , bulletproof by Tokyo milk and white tea by the merchant of venice are among my favourites that I've tried. Great to be able to learn about so many more new perfumes to me 😍 appreciate your insight as always 🍀
Awesome list! Need to check out your No. 1 now! My favorite tea fragrance is one with no tea note listed😂- Diptyque Olene. It’s reminiscent of my childhood’s favorite - jasmine tea that blooms like a flower.
Black tea with lemon ...so Russian and reminds me my childhood and cold winter evenings in Saint-Petersburg . I love tea fragrances and would love to try some of them from your review . Spasibo! 😍
Dita von Teese did a fragrance that had lapsang souchong tea in it and it's one of my favorites. I love to spray it on if I'm just having a day at home and it makes even the most mundane chores feel glamorous
Sebastian, I love your channel for the quality and for these long videos that let me wash the dishes and prepare lunch or supper without touching the phone. A wonderful experience. Just feedback!. Have a nice day and best wishes from Salamanca, SPAIN!.
Awesome list! Loved how complete & varied these selections are. Once again - a superstar video! Thanks for focusing on fragrances that are still available.
Thank you for the list, learnt a lot about tea fragrances from this video. One fragrance missing this list IMO is Russian tea. One of the best tea fragrances.
Bulgari au thé vert. Lasts hours on me. Smells like autumn meadow. I like it a lot and entourage appreciates it even more. Recently Asian Green Tea from Creed uplifts my rainy, autumn mood 😉
I have to try some from the list, TEA ESCAPE and HOO The Time are the ones that more resonate with me. my favorite is BVLGARI Homme the original, very soft but I love it! Thanks for the list Sebastian! As always a pleasure to learn more from you.
Bvlgari eau the blanc is amazing. Its like a skin scent but i get whiffs here and there throughout the day and it lasts for more than 7-8 hours. Also one of the best for inside environment. Others are going to smell you even though you might think that its gone within the first hour. Compliment getter!! It reminds me of the musky drydown of Chanel allure homme sport eau extreme.
I need to look into more tea fragrances. The only fragrance that I have with any type of tea note is L’ombre des Merveilles and Flowerbomb. And you are right in saying that us Eastern Asians drink more green tea, especially Japanese and Koreans. I know some people drink it like they do water with their meals😁 Added: yes, I do enjoy the longer videos, especially the ones that focus on individual notes and large selections.
I'm still cross about the Jo Malone 'Rare Teas Collection' being discontinued. They were head and shoulders above other tea fragrances, with Midnight Black Tea being one of the best in the range. Now I've got these weird 'tonic, herbal greens & tea note' fragrances to contend with and for the most part, they leave me disappointed. I'm after a replica of tea with lemon, something well-rounded and comforting rather than sharp and astringent and mixed with too many other 'compatible' notes. Some sillage, decent longevity would be a bonus. Thank you for this video, I always learn from you. I currently have 'Qi Intensivo' by Ormonde Jayne and it's the closest thing I've found since the demise of the Jo Malone rare teas to accurately recreate the soothing and uplifting scent of tea with lemon and a bit of honey. Kahwa by Boadicea The Victorious is really interesting too and although not marketed as a 'tea scent' the name is a giveaway. Despite the strange marriage of rose and eucalyptus and despite that having nothing to do with Kashmiri Kahwa the smell is strikingly similar. The performance is very poor, which is strange for Boadicea. Disappointing.
Loved this video!! I enjoy the tea note so much!! I used to love the Bulgari green and white.. By your descriptions I'd love to try the MemoParis, the Parfums de Nicolai and the Floraiku (there goes my next samples order...) I also love the chamomile note in perfume, it's so comforting, reassuring kind of ....As for drinking I love pure unsweetened green 🍵😊
The Assam one is inspired by Assam tea which is from the state of Assam in North East India where not everyone drinks spicy tea or with milk. Usually these variants are taken as red tea or without milk to get actual flavor. Another very prominent variant is Darjeeling tea which is also worlds famous n usually taken whiteout milk in North East. I also personally as an East Indian take tea without milk mostly. Also i think one popular tea fragrance that we dont see n this list is chai by baruti and also Tobacco vanille somewhat smells like spiced tea.
A lot of great tea fragrances out there. I could add two more from Bvlgari - The Noir (nice leathery touch) and The Rouge which I experience as a quite good longevity for a Bvlgari - very cosy for the fall/winter.
Surprised Silver Mountain Water didn’t make the list. But Gucci Pour Homme 2 is my favorite all time. Now discontinued as we all know. Some cheapies if your views want to check out would be 78 Vintage Green and Bentley Azura. Love Remember Me from your list.
Nice video. Tea is one of my favorite notes. There are two perfumes that I really enjoy that do not list tea as a note but I distinctly smell tea in them. They are: Lady Gaga Eau de Gaga and Arden Beauty. Both very affordable. If I want a spiced tea, I layer these over Guerlain Lui.
Thank you Sebastian, this is the video I've been waiting for you to do and you did not disappoint. I would add Masque Milano Russian Tea as I think it's pretty much the only one missing from your list otherwise it's a solid list. Thanks for all the great videos you make on your channel. Been a fan since Man Loves Cologne.
Very well done. So glad you did this video and no it was not to long.your relaxed and smooth presentation is always entertaining and educational thanks for the video.👍
I’m not the biggest fan of a tea note, but when I like it I like a black tea, not green tea, note. Hendley Fume has a very beautiful roasted tea note. I love it in that particular fragrance.
@@ThePerfumeGuy Currently they have 11 fragrances in the collection. I agree that tea is not the main player in some of them, but I can say for sure that L'Ame Slave, Aesthetic Turbulence, Sense of Humor and Secret of Success are 100% about tea.
I love tea fragerances my favorite one i own/ tried so far is wulong cha from nishane i got to try russian tea and few others still now with this list i have to add more to try .
Great video and great picks 👍🏻 From my favourite tea fragrances i would put a top 3 in no order : russian tea from masque milano, tea for two - l’artisan (masterpiece), and of course the seductive, alluring Scent intense - costume national (great black tea vibe)
We can always count on you for substantial and well referenced videos ❤️. You mentioned you have not tried other tea fragrances from Memo Paris. Have you tried Inle? I have a large 100mL bottle and would gladly mail out a decant just to get your feedback. It has Jasmin absolute , mate, and osmanthus absolute. I also have a large bottle of L’Occitane The Vert Au Jasmin. I saw on fragantica that a new 2020 The Vert was released but different notes are listed. Ebay has listings at crazy high prices for the older version. I should’ve guessed tea in your last video, but I remembered you had already made a tea video before. I prefer this one, though☝🏼😄. Thanks for the great reviews!
Zoologist's Panda, a beautiful green tea and osmanthus which dries down into a softly musky sandalwood; the vetiver makes the kettle boil nicely I find :)
Assam is a state in the northeastern part of India famous for producing black tea which explains the black tea note you get in the Berdoues. Would love to try it one day
Rats! I was thinking tea, but I often watch your videos, while at work. Ooo, this is going to cause me to do more perfume shopping! I love fresh tea scent on rainy winter days. I love tea! Right now, I only have Thé Yulong, Armani.
In Russia we also drink a lot of black tea with lemon and the smell associated with it is exactly the one I have been looking for in perfume for a very long time, but couldn't find yet. Sebastian, what do you think, which of the mentioned fragrances is most similar to that kind of scent?
Sebastian just saw on Parfumo dot net that the original L'Occitane The Vert is from 1999, but there seems to be a new The Vert 2020 Limited Edition one.
I know someone commented tea last week because it’s what I was going to guess. But scrolling through the comments, I saw someone had already guessed it.
☕️☕️☕️ Watch Top 20 Coffee Fragrances Video here: ua-cam.com/video/hjo1XFtndNA/v-deo.html ☕️☕️☕️
Have you tried The Yulong by Armani Prive? Would love to hear your opinion on it, hopefully it's worthy of being on this list :)
My fave tea frags, one umbrella for two, the mountain standing still from floraïku and xerjoff ceylon 💜
Umbrella for 2 blew my mind!

I’m very simple guy...☺️💁🏽♂️ some of my favs tea:
Masque Milano - Russian Tea
Gucci Pour Homme 2
Elizabeth Arden - Green Tea
The very first tea fragrance that my mom gave me as a gift 8 years ago was Green Tea from Elizabeth Arden, simple and clean.
That EArden Green Tea is still a top fav summer fragrance to be used as a body mist.
@@yvanavandenhork7045 Definitely! Although it is too light...I don't mind reapplying considering the price tag.
@@zidan0720 that is why it can be used as a body mist on hot summer days.
Also white tea is good
what opinion do you have of it's flankers? There are SO many that I am confused where to start
Thé Noir 29 is my signature fall scent 🤓
FYI: Osmanthus is not only consumed as tea in China, it is also widely used for desserts.
Some of my favorite tea fragrances:
Spring / Summer / All Year Round
Chakai by Ritual
Earl Grey and Cucumber by Jo Malone ( Jo Malone has an entire Rare Tea Collection besides their regular offerings, and it is fabulous )
Tea by Commodity ( new formula , one with oolong, honey, tobacco etc )
Fall/Winter:
Indigo by Nest ( main note: Moroccan Tea)
Yves Rocher Thé Vert by Francis Kurkdjian ! The best tea fragrance ever ! :p
I'd love to get that Replica Tea Escape. Sounds gorgeous.
I use Bulgari thé blanc for years. It‘s one of my summer fragrances. And it lasts pretty good!

My first niche fragrance was a tea and I love it which is Creed silver mountain water
Yes we enjoy the longer videos.
Good to know!

Have a nice day and best wishes from Salamanca, SPAIN!.
i´m a huge fan and everyday drinker of tea - green tea, oolong tea, black tea = everything with milk and honey ... like you say!

I am glad you include Nomad Tea by CdG. It's such a lovely sweet smokey mint tea scent.
The theme of your video is what I've been thinking about. I actually really like the Sacred Osthmanthus and the The' Noir.
Bvlgari eau the blanc is amazing. Its like a skin scent but i get whiffs here and there throughout the day and it lasts for more than 7-8 hours.

My great grandma grew spearmint and chamomile, made me tea sweetened with honey 🤤😍 I should look into something cozy/soothing.
I want all of these!🫖

Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir & GPH II are my favorite tea frags. Stunningly fresh n beautiful!!!
Very well done. So glad you did this video and no it was not to long.your relaxed and smooth presentation is always entertaining and educational thanks for the video.👍
Did you know my husband has the same name!? So I remember your channel immediately 🎉
Miller Harris Tea Tonique is a nice one
Looking for a strong pekoe tea (Lipton) or hibiscus scent. Love those two scents and always wondered why perfumeries don't use them as much.
I love Five o'Clock au Gingembre and Gucci Pour Homme II :) thanks for the video! I took notes on all these beautiful perfumes I need to try :D
Tea fragrances seem to be very versatile, playing well with seasons. I need to explore your choices beyond the Bvlgari ones I have. Thanks!
I’m not the biggest fan of a tea note, but when I like it I like a black tea, not green tea, note. Hendley Fume has a very beautiful roasted tea note. I love it in that particular fragrance.
State of Mind is great French perfume and tea house, all their fragrances are dedicated to tea. plus Atelier Cologne Oolang infini is good enough
I actually sampled their fragrances in Paris. I think at the time when I sampled them there were three of them I did not notice anything with Tea?
@@ThePerfumeGuy Currently they have 11 fragrances in the collection. I agree that tea is not the main player in some of them, but I can say for sure that L'Ame Slave, Aesthetic Turbulence, Sense of Humor and Secret of Success are 100% about tea.

my favorite tea fragrances: one umbrella for two and penhaligons equinox bloom
Rosendo Mateu No.1 is gorgeous, you recommended it in your Bergamot video, got it and loving it!
Awesome!!
Zoologist's Panda, a beautiful green tea and osmanthus which dries down into a softly musky sandalwood; the vetiver makes the kettle boil nicely I find :)
I love it when you do long videos enjoyable thank you so much for sharing 💗💗💗💗
Je ne sais quoi (teo cabanel) should have been here. That one is truly special. I have that one and tea for two.
Jovoy’s Renember Me is top on my list. But they don’t ship to Canada sadly. Always love your longer video! Thank you for sharing ❤️😀🇨🇦~Kim
Assam is a state in the northeastern part of India famous for producing black tea which explains the black tea note you get in the Berdoues. Would love to try it one day
Kilian Imperial Tea is one of my favorites and amazing. Sadly, discontinued...
Rats! I was thinking tea, but I often watch your videos, while at work. Ooo, this is going to cause me to do more perfume shopping! I love fresh tea scent on rainy winter days. I love tea! Right now, I only have Thé Yulong, Armani.
Russian tea by Masque Milano is the best tea frag..
Would like a video on Champagne perfumes 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
Have you tried Powder&Dust by SP parfums?
A great and demanding list. Thank you for your nice work. May I add one more fragrance, Armani Eau de Cedre. See you soon.
I own thé noir le labo great parfum...but my favorite is kilian IMPERIAL TEA
U should check Russian tea by masque milano and neroli outrenoir by guerlain
One of the best in tea fragrances
I know it I just don't own it. It's dark and smoky! :)
Great list and i enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
my top tea perfume and which is the best in my opinion is gucci pour home 2 , sadly discontinued , best ever created .
Awesome vid!
I love tea and tea fragrances.
Sebastian do try Russian Tea by Masque Milano. It just blew me away!!
I LOVE The Blanc. It's of course a light scent but being an "au cologne" it still performs like an edt, etc but always lighter
Great unique content Sebastian....🔥
I only have the Bvlgari The Vert from your lineup
I like Santal from Floris
Would like to see tea fragrances for the summer…
Gucci pour homme II
Ahhh, you missed my very favorite tea fragrance. Black Tea by Murdock London. Fantastic!
I thought about it but I ran out of money to fund my Tea Perfume Addiction! LOL! ;)
I was crushed when Tea For Two got discontinued, it’s a wonderful fragrance.
It's discontinued again? Dang it!
Absolutely fantastic video
Thank you very much!
Kindly mention fragrances performance like longevity and sillage
Unknown pleasures by Kerosene !
For me those are all too expensive. Are there any good tea cheapies out there?
In Russia we also drink a lot of black tea with lemon and the smell associated with it is exactly the one I have been looking for in perfume for a very long time, but couldn't find yet. Sebastian, what do you think, which of the mentioned fragrances is most similar to that kind of scent?
Finally!!!thank you!!!🥰
You're welcome 😊
Excellent! Thank you.
L’occitance the au vert is amazing, still have a bottle
One umbrella for two is too sweet for me.🤗
:(
I love the Noir... for every time.😎
Sebastian just saw on Parfumo dot net that the original L'Occitane The Vert is from 1999, but there seems to be a new The Vert 2020 Limited Edition one.
I looked on their website and it's not available. Maybe they are out of stock and will return soon. Hopefully! :)
Tea is such a pleasant note in perfumery. I love GPHii hate the longevity tho
Wonderful list
Which one have the best longetivity?
Hi the perfume guy, do you have any idea if the green tea perfumes use the real green tea ingredient? I'm curious. 😊
At long last! Great Vid!
I know someone commented tea last week because it’s what I was going to guess. But scrolling through the comments, I saw someone had already guessed it.
Are you familiar with Penhaligon's Lothair and Teo Cabanel Je Ne Sais Quoi? I'd also add J Lo Still and Burberry The Beat EDP for women.
Leau Par Kenzo homme is my fav tea fragrance
My favourite tea fragrance
Gucci pour homme ll
Say discontinued! 😢
@@ThePerfumeGuy what do you think about elizabeth arden white tea?that one and bvlgari thè blance are my fav.
Did you test Ormonde Jayne Qi? How is it, compare to your list?
Awesome review
I know it's your top 20, but where does Dear Polly by Vilhelm sit amongst these, or is it outside of the 20?
