  Greetings to perfume lovers. Today I want to present a very elegant fragrance, for him and for her. From L’Artisan Parfumeur, ‘Tea for Two’. The opening is very warm, with a shy supporting bergamot while the tea takes all the applause. The ginger is clear and penetrating here, although in other reviews it’s a base note; I like that there’s anise because it highlights the ginger and the tea. The heart is relaxed, simple, and intriguing, appearing within an hour and a half at the most. The spices confuse the tea’s development a bit, but they don’t bother. The cinnamon is very simple, which is why I define it as relaxed. In the dry-down, a classic combination found in many perfumes, but here I like the development: honey, vanilla, leather, and tobacco. The honey and vanilla soften the leather and tobacco, reminiscent of a SL Cuir Mauresque at the end and a Fumerie Turque close to the skin. Medium longevity and an elegant trail. Excellent work by Olivia Giacobetti. I recommend it for its intelligence and candour. These are the fragrances where you think: ‘How delicious!’. A tea for two is better than one alone; share it and you won’t regret the compliments. Greetings, colleagues.

  Today this perfume arrived, and to be honest, the first application didn’t knock me over. It didn’t disgust me, nor did it catch me immediately. However, at 8 pm I took a shower again and reapplied it, and I must confess I regretted judging it so quickly; I’m absolutely loving it! The opening is very aromatic; I feel it green but with a smoky touch. After an hour, the scent settles and becomes woody, spicy yet soft. It’s different from everything I own; I think I’ll wear it on cold days and at night. I’ll try it for a few consecutive days to see what surprises it holds.

  Very good. On my skin, it’s a quite smoky perfume. They say there are black teas with that sensation, but to me, it evokes tobacco and black wood ash. The green vegetal sensation of tea is also there, as well as the spices and that dusty tone of ginger bread. Honey and vanilla are more perceptible during the dry-down, which is very good. It feels masterfully blended with quality ingredients and, for a nose of that calibre, it performs nothing short of brilliantly.

  Aromatic and spiced, original and undelivering. The green notes give it its soul. I love green perfumes because they have a future, and here L’Artisan offers a kaleidoscope that takes you from a summer tea for two to an evening walk through a garden with oriental ginger touches. Very wearable and pleasant.

  The darkest tea I could have imagined. On my skin, it’s a super-spiced black tea, starting with ginger and then cinnamon taking the lead, with a touch of honey and anise. All correct, but it’s very smoky due to those tobacco leaves, something I don’t entirely enjoy. Ideal for cold weather, probably unisex but leaning towards men. Incredible performance. It’s a special and strange scent, so try before buying even if you’re a tea fan.

  I loved reading the reviews and hoping I’d like it, but I can’t help noticing a hint of artichoke due to the acidity and metallic edge. I adore artichokes as food, but not in perfume. On blotter, as it dries, it becomes more apparent, yet on my skin, once that phase passes, it seems everything disappears.

  I’d love to like it, and the reviews I’ve read here all sound wonderful. Yet I can’t help but detect, amidst the acidity and metallic notes, a smell of artichoke. While I enjoy artichokes as a food, I don’t see them as a fragrance. On blotter paper, once it dries, it’s possible to look beyond that initial impression, but on my skin, once the artichoke phase passes, it seems everything has vanished.

  A legendary niche classic that needs no further fame. It smells of pure art: hot tea, light brown rolling tobacco, and French spice bread. The tea hits first, warm and cosy, nothing fresh. Then the tobacco emerges, initially rough but softening with the sweet undertones. That’s the magic: sweet tobacco blended with ginger biscuits, bread, and vanilla, utterly addictive. No coincidence that it’s Sebastian’s favourite nor created by Olivia Giacobetti. With such a rich scent, it doesn’t matter it’s not a beast; I’ve received a thousand compliments when greeting people. Launched in 2001, discontinued in 2010, returned in 2015, and vanished again in 2023. What’s happening with the formula? Try it if you like tea, tobacco, and Christmas-y aromas. 🫖🍂🍪

  This perfume is one of the great legendary pillars of niche perfumery, before the niche was swallowed by its own boom. Its scent is so authentic and artistic that it falls in love with you from the first minute. It evokes a cup of hot tea, a packet of sweet light brown rolling tobacco, and two slices of that wonderful French spice bread. The tea is the first to enter; they say it smells like Lapsang Souchong, though I don’t know it. It’s not green or fresh, but warm and cosy. Soon the smell of tobacco leaf or rolling tobacco appears, which after a few more minutes of roughness starts to gain roundness thanks to the sweet undertones embracing it. Here the magic begins for me. I love the smell of sweet tobacco, and here it fuses with ginger biscuits, spice bread, vanilla… becoming very addictive. No coincidence that it’s Sebastian’s favourite tea (The Perfume Guy) nor his preferred Artisan. Nor is it a coincidence that Olivia Giacobetti created it, one of the best perfumers, who makes fine and groundbreaking perfumes. With such a rich scent, I don’t mind it’s not a beast. More than once I’ve received good compliments when greeting people. Since its launch in 2001 it was a total success, discontinued around 2010, returned in 2015, and finally was discontinued again towards 2023. I’d like to know what’s going on, if there’s a problem with the formula or to understand the reason for so much movement. Anyway, don’t miss trying it if you’re a lover of perfumes with tobacco, chai tea, and Christmas sweet vibes.
