Giorgio Armani’s Thé Yulong, released in 2020 as part of the prestigious Privé collection, stands as a testament to the artistry of tea-based perfumery. Named after the Yulong mountains in China, the fragrance aims to capture the contrast between cool, misty peaks and the warmth of the sun-drenched tea fields below. Crafted by Julie Massé, this unisex Eau de Toilette has quickly become a staple for those who appreciate understated luxury. It is a scent that prioritizes balance, offering a serene experience that feels both clean and sophisticated without ever becoming overwhelming.
