From the brand -
"Thé Yulong is a unique aromatic combination of black tea and green tea extracts that takes you on a sensory journey through one of the most renowned landscapes in the Yunnan region, the Yulong Mountains.
The fragrance absorbs all facets and contrasts of tea as black and green tea are brought into subtle contact. The black tea evokes the hazy Yulong Mountains while the green tea and sparkling citrus notes refresh the fragrance and evoke the snow-capped peaks that surround them. The combination results in a smoky, woody, yet fresh and citrusy fragrance."
Fragrantica - "Smells like quiet luxury and maximum zen. Major spa vibes. I want to bathe in this. So well-blended and relaxing yet oddly energizing as well? One of my favorites for the summer, yet can easily work year-round due to the complexity/slight smokiness of the scent."
Fragrantica - "I absolutely love this fragrance. The dry down is better than the open in my opinion. Open with a fair bit of citrus, but the tea really really comes through on the dry down. The sillage is moderate to weak, it's more like "come closer, this smell delicious" kind of smell."
Fragrantica - "My favorite tea fragrance I have tried so far! I really enjoy this as it actually smells like a photorealistic tea, isn’t overpowered by the other notes like a lot of “tea” fragrances are, and the freshness/lack of sweetness this has I really like. I have to test this out more but I may be done with my search for a tea fragrance :)"
Fragrantica - "The scent is very well blended, you can hardly pick up individual notes. It has a bit of vintage-y vibe, something I notice in Prada La Femme. I even find some similarities with Kilian Princess. Which makes sense, because the idea of these perfumes is centered around the tea.
I find this scent very elegant and feminine. Very "posh". Light. And unique."
Fragrantica - "Smells like a luxurious hotel room. Reminds me of the Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore, but less heavy and without ylangylang, so much more enjoyable. This is a hint of orange with a touch of tea, a lot of jasmine and a nice cedar musky base. Loooove this."
