Elixir Store No.03/ Tea — a unisex tea fragrance
Elixir Store No.03/ Tea is a fragrance by the German brand Elixir Store, created for those who appreciate expressive compositions without strict gender associations.
The brand produces unisex and women’s fragrances in perfume, extract and eau de parfum concentrations, and No.03/ Tea continues this concept with a rich profile featuring tea, woody and spicy nuances.
In terms of classification, it is a perfume extract with very strong sillage.
This concentration creates a dense, noticeable development and gives the composition strong presence, allowing the fragrance to become the main accent of an outfit.
No.03/ Tea is positioned as unisex: its character will appeal to both women and men who enjoy tea, green-woody and softly spicy accords.
The character and mood of the composition
Black tea is at the heart of the fragrance, surrounded by the freshness of bergamot, the dry woodiness of cedar and the pronounced green facet of laurel.
Fig adds a soft fruity nuance, while vanilla tempers the spicy woody base with a delicate gourmand warmth.
Vetiver and musk support the sillage, making it deeper and more composed.
Olfactively, No.03/ Tea belongs to the fougère and woody fragrance families. It also reveals noticeable citrus, tea, fruity, gourmand, musky and spicy facets.
The impression is marked by contrast: cool freshness and astringency gradually blend with warm, dry and slightly creamy nuances.
At first, the fragrance may seem bright and fresh thanks to the bergamot; then the tea accord takes on a richer, slightly astringent character.
As it develops, woody notes, vetiver and musk form a confident base, while vanilla and fig soften it.
This is not a simple tea soliflore, but a multilayered composition with a clear transition from freshness to warm woods.
Wearability and sillage
The very strong sillage makes Elixir Store No.03/ Tea a suitable choice for cool weather, evening outings and occasions when you want to leave behind a distinctive aromatic impression.
It may be especially appropriate in autumn and winter, as well as early spring. In hot weather, the extract should be applied more cautiously so that its tea-woody profile remains comfortable.
No exact recommendations for applying this release to skin or clothing are provided.
Given its high concentration, it is sensible to start with one spray on the skin and assess its development after a few minutes; when applying it to clothing, use a minimal amount and take the fabric’s longevity into account.
This approach will help maintain a balance between distinctive sillage and the comfort of those around you.
What to compare No.03/ Tea with
To explore a similar direction, consider Le Labo Bergamote 22, Zara Zara Black Tag Eau de Parfum 2017 and Bond No. 9 Great Jones.
These fragrances share an interest in fresh, woody and expressive accents, but No.03/ Tea stands out for its combination of black tea, fig, laurel and vanilla.
The fragrance’s place in the brand’s line
Information about the release year, collection, perfumer and other concentrations of No.03/ Tea is not available.
Therefore, the main point of reference is the composition itself: its tea-woody character, extract concentration and very strong sillage.
Elixir Store presents itself in this release as a brand focused on lovers of rich, contemporary perfumery with a unisex character.
