Pros & Cons
- ✅ stunningly photorealistic, perfectly catching the moment of opening a fresh tin of loose earl grey tea. it's strong and punchy at first, almost suffocating, but within 5 seconds it settles into the most soothing, realistic experience of getting yourself a strong cup of the tea.
- ✅ This was the only scent that my non-fragrance friend with an especially sensitive nose actually liked.
- ✅ As someone who's had a cup of earl grey tea every morning for over 10 years, I can guarantee that this smells EXACTLY like earl grey. It's astonishing how photorealistic this is.

- ❌ Very sharp zesty, quite refreshing, but also that sharp freshness is so strong, too strong, maybe. Needs to be tested on a hot day, but even then, I think, it would not work. There seem to be some fixatives that make my head uneasy.
- ❌ I really hated it. I didn't like the top note & the heart note.. The top note: earl grey tea and heart note cucumber were too overpowering it gives me the headache. Definitely not something I would like.. but when it mellowed down I can smell the vanilla was subtle...
