Opening is very citrusy, after 15 minutes on me the tea comes out. The tea heart smells very pleasing.
The smell sits on the skin, no projections whatsoever, lasting power is poor as well

Reminds me of Malabah by Penhaligon’s both have that sort of lemon zinger tea plus some extra spices type of smell. Neither last very long or project very well off my skin. The packaging is so cute – love the elephants!
samag – :
Lemon tea. Very refreshing.
SmellParfum – :
This is lovely! I am fussy with citrus notes but this is gentle and refreshing. It truly does smell like lemon tea. The perfect balance of tea and lemon. I imagine this is a delight on a hot summer day. I am a little confused by the name though, as it is not spicy at all. I will be getting a bottle of this ASAP 🙂 Extra points for cute bottle.

Bubbly soapy with hints of lemon tea.
Bubbly and more bubbles soapy with some hints of tea, and balsamic citrus within. I can sense some slightly humid within as well! maybe the atmosphere!
I really don’t smell India in here! It’s overly soapy rather than spicy as India is known for that spicy unique scent that mingles that part of the world. It’s interesting tho.

Just infuriating. A brilliant idea of combining some lovely notes (strong lemony tea, given some legs by sandalwood) but then completely let down by pathetic execution. Same problem as with a lot of other Berdoues: an absolutely ravishing opening that goes straight down the drain / into the ether within a heartbreakingly short time. For me it goes like this:
TEA – actually detectable, astringent, woody black tea – one of the loveliest and truest captures of this obviously extremely elusive note, which I’ve not smelled done so well yet in any other perfume – that lasts for literally less than 2 minutes. And then morphs into…
LEMON TEA – good, fresh, real-seeming, zesty lemon tea, not sour, just lovely, oddly reminds me of Lipton’s Iced Tea mix (and that’s a good thing) – with this phase lasting for all of an hour and a bit. then a bit of
SANDALWOOD – very, very, very, very low key, so low key it’s barely there, just hanging about in an ambient way for maybe another hour or so.
So that’s 2 hours of extreme subtlety after 2 minutes of beauty – and that’s it, that’s your lot, that’s all you’ll get. Aaaaaaaaargh absolutely exasperating. I would be 100% sold on this if they’d found a way to make the initial effect hang on. As it is it just makes me grumpy (did ya guess?). Try it if you think your skin might let it survive longer. Like the others in this line it claims to be an EDP but performance is barely EdT level. *throws things around in a tantrum*
Sterhov – :
Strong lemon, brewed tea, not loose leaf. Lemon herbal tea with slight spice in the opening. Easily unisex

Why does every tea scent I try not smell like tea? I am beginning to think either my body chemistry negates it, or everyone is just pretending that tea is an actual perfume note. If you have ever opened a canister of loose leaf tea, that is tea scent. I have never encountered a fragrance that captures that. Maybe tea in perfumery isn’t meant to mimic tea so literally? But this is another fragrance that uses tea as inspiration rather than a derivation. On me, Assam of India is a very bright and fresh lemon fragrance. It is clean and soapy, with a slight astringency that reminds me of a kitchen spray. The sandalwood is backstage and appears more as time passes. However, the overall scent doesn’t last long. I agree Assam of India would be great for summer. But I also think YMMV depending on how scents pull on your skin.
Ginocit – :
This mostly smells like (strongly) lemon-scented cleaning products for a few minutes (Lemon Pledge), and then a sort of watery fresh scent with a softer lemon. I don’t smell Assam tea, or sandalwood. It’s fresh, clean, and suitable for hot weather, but only lasts a few hours.
I think there’s just something missing here. I have layered it with a rose, jasmine, lemon, and sandalwood perfume oil (Nationale 6/7 by OLO; fantastic by the way) that I have, which actually helps bring out the tea scent of this one.
maks8584 – :
Tea with lemon, I so looked forward to it. It sounds like something I would be attracted to, something I would like to smell, on me or off me. Unfortunately, I got bursts of lemony household cleaner, maybe dish washing liquid detergent. Or is it time to mop the bathroom floor? I barely smell any tea. No light tea, not to mention stronger teas like red or black, you know, the kind you get in India. Pass.
castellon – :
A beautiful crisp, bright, lemony (but not sweet) tea. Reasonable longevity given the freshness of the notes. Not an ambroxan or calone bomb. Uncomplicated, easy to wear happiness in a bottle.
zakadroviy – :
This is bright, uncomplicated lemony tea. It has a bit more throw than I was expecting, while it lasts, which isn’t long. It’s refreshing to spray on hot day, so reapplication isn’t a bother.
MarioDrugg – :
A pleasant sunny cup of tea with a great big squeeze of lemon, great for hot weather. Staying power could have been better but it’s still a nice pick-me-up.
ax2886 – :
Scent – herbal lemon tea.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the warmer months, day or night.
Projection – I did get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 12hrs consistently.
Xeroxmkrki – :
A lovely lemon tea scent that softly lingers on the skin. Perfect for those warm summer days and for the office as the sillage stays close.
aod033speagoessenda – :
A light, bright, and lovely black tea with lemon. The sandalwood is a minor player, appearing in the far dry down. This is a cheerful and uncomplicated scent, perfect both for casual weekends and crisp white summer clothes, and it is wonderfully refreshing on hot days. Longevity is nothing short of astounding for an EDC; this easily lasts 10-12 hours on me without a refresh. If you have Dior’s Escale a Pondichery, you won’t need this, as they are virtually identical; however, I confess to having purchased it anyway, because I adore the bottle! Overall, a good bargain and a very easy to wear fragrance.
