Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Imperial Tea Note Pyramid

The Imperial Tea fragrance pyramid begins with a refreshing top note of green tea, which creates an instant sense of purity and vitality, inviting a journey through eastern tea ceremonies.

In the heart of the composition, delicate accents of jasmine and warm undertones of Yunnan red tea unfold, adding floral elegance and spicy depth, which smoothly transitions to the base.

The base returns to a persistent note of green tea, securing the fragrance and leaving a soft, soothing trail, perfectly balanced between freshness and warmth.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Jasmine tea. It's just a terribly generic scent. Shops are full of similar options. I don't even stop to consider it, because paying such money for such primitiveness
4/5
4
Jasmine tea looks really appealing. The scent is fresh, pleasant, and even delicious, but something about it all seems too simple for such a price. Although, I must admit, it smells quite natural. Perhaps that's why the price is so high 🤔
4/5

The tea really smells as advertised. Inside the metal packaging hides an expensive blend, the varieties are simply royal. The only thing is, it lacks longevity, it doesn't stay on me. But it smells absolutely magnificent! ))
3/5

I can't say this scent blew me away. First, it's too similar to many others, bringing nothing new. Second, on my skin, it quickly loses its vibrancy and becomes kind of flat. Overall, it just didn't grab me
5/5
5
At first, I had the feeling that the scent reminded me of the foil from a fresh pack of cigarettes, and that's how I perceive the aroma of green tea. But when it settles down a bit and unfolds, a beautiful jasmine appears - so delicate and fresh. All in all, it's safe to say that this fragrance truly smells like jasmine tea
4/5

The fragrance is very delicate, as if embracing the skin. You can feel natural jasmine with light notes of green tea
3/5

The fragrance, to be honest, is quite simple, especially for such a brand and price. Jasmine tea, and that's it. I caught a slight hint of orange blossom, but it's not great. It's noticeable from start to finish, although some say it's more like a skincare product. I would choose something else, like Floraiku. The longevity isn't pleasing either, even other "tea" fragrances last better 😅
5/5
5
The unisex scent has a distinctly woody note. This perfume, with its refined exotic accents of Chinese tea, is truly dedicated to this amazing beverage. Kilian Imperial Tea - это сочетание зеленого чая с легкими оттенками жасмина и свежими, теплыми аккордами, которые создают уникальную атмосферу 🌿
2/5

The green tea with jasmine scent seems so light and natural, but honestly, I'm not sure it's worth the money 😔 There are many other options on the market that sound much more enticing
2/5

Excuse me, but I'm just speechless. The scent only reminds me of jasmine and tea. If that's what you're looking for, there's no point spending money even on a sample, you'd be better off trying the same tea from Demeter
4/5
4
The fragrance is really pleasant and very subtle! It reminds me of refreshing green tea with jasmine, but at the same time, it feels delicate. Unfortunately, the longevity isn't impressive, and the sillage is almost imperceptible. For this price, honestly, I expected more!!
3/5
3
The perfume turned out to be quite subtle and neutral, which might appeal to lovers of "watercolor" fragrances. I, however, prefer something brighter and richer. Tea notes aren't my top choice, but this fragrance still impressed me. Indeed, you can feel the coolness of jasmine tea, and it's pleasant 🌸
4/5
4
The green tea scent is delicate, sure, but for this price, it's just ridiculous. It's absolutely flat, doesn't develop at all. I want something more interesting, not this monotonous nonsense
3/5
3
In my opinion, this scent is just tea, and nothing more. It doesn't develop, doesn't change; it stays exactly as you apply it. Not appealing at all. But the longevity is a plus
3/5
3
I'm pretty indifferent to it. Jasmine tea, it sounds delicate, but that's it. The fact that it's a bit soapy doesn't scare me, but for this price, I'd expect something more exciting 😔
