The Fragrance's Character and Style
Longtake Black Tea & Fig is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Longtake, a Korean fragrance brand that creates expressive compositions for women and men.
Its character combines cool greenery, dry woods and soft balsamic nuances, giving the fragrance a modern, composed and multifaceted feel.
The name Black Tea & Fig sets the main direction of the composition: astringent tea accords merge with the green freshness of fig leaves before gradually settling into a warm woody-musky base.
This is not a light, airy fragrance that lasts for just an hour, but a distinctive olfactory statement with a very powerful sillage, capable of highlighting individuality and leaving a memorable impression.
Notes and Development
Longtake Black Tea & Fig opens with lemon, elemi, fig leaf and patchouli.
A citrus spark refreshes the composition, green fig adds a juicy vegetal nuance, while elemi and patchouli immediately establish a resinous, woody depth.
Black tea takes center stage in the heart: dry, astringent and slightly smoky.
Frankincense, geranium and vetiver support it, giving the tea accord a spicy coolness, mineral dryness and a subtle floral nuance without excessive sweetness.
The finish is built around cashmeran, cedar and musk.
Cashmeran gives the base a warm, textured quality, cedar creates a clean woody framework, while musk softens the fragrance and helps its trail linger longer on skin and clothing.
Wearability and Sillage
The fragrance will appeal to those who enjoy distinctive tea, green and woody compositions.
It works equally well in a women's or men's wardrobe, especially if you prefer unconventional fragrances without obvious sugary gourmand notes or excessive florality.
Its very powerful sillage makes Black Tea & Fig a noticeable choice for cool weather, evenings, business meetings or occasions when you want the fragrance to be perceived as part of your overall look.
In warm weather, it is best applied sparingly, taking the intensity of its development into account: the expressive base may smell more intense than expected.
No precise recommendations for applying this release to skin or clothing have been provided.
A practical approach is to start with a small number of sprays, assess the development after a few minutes and add more if necessary, as its sillage is described as very powerful.
Its Place in the Longtake Palette
Black Tea & Fig reflects Longtake's interest in unisex perfumery, where natural green nuances meet expressive woody materials.
There is no information about the specific perfumer, release year, collection or other concentrations, so the composition is best understood through its olfactory profile: black tea, fig leaf, frankincense, cedar and musk.
For comparison, consider Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Durra and Gisada Ambassador Intense.
That said, Longtake Black Tea & Fig stands out for its tea-and-green direction and the contrast between its fresh opening and dense woody-musky base.
