From the brand - "In Asia, the ancient drink of tea must be prepared with the utmost attention to detail, sometimes with an accompanying ceremony. At its best, tea is both relaxing and invigorating, sensual and stimulating. A tonic to carry you through the day. To celebrate the joys of Asian tea culture, we came up with INFUSE, a fragrance based on the flavours and aromas of the famous Oolong brew. It’s a fragrance that is bitter, deep, and herbal—perfect for tea connoisseurs."
Akro Infuse Reviews
Fragrantica - "Really good! Delicately balanced scent which weaves together tea notes with a distinctively fruity touch & florals. Starts with a crisp blast of all the notes and maintains a sense of freshness as it mellows. Very well judged use of ambroxan, enough to elevate the pyramid but never obtrusive. Apricot is a main player as it plays off the florals, resting on a bed of light but earthy tea. Don't expect huge performance but a delicate & pleasing smell as is found in the best quality tea. Bravo to Mr Cresp for an original and expertly blended take on the genre."
