About Tete-a-Tete
Tete-a-Tete, the 1978 Floral Chypre Revisited
From Новая Заря (The New Dawn), Tete-a-Tete is a women's floral chypre introduced in 1978. The composition favours a traditional balance of verdant top notes and a moss-led foundation.
Currant buds, celery seeds, anise, mandarin and green notes form the top, ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine shape the heart, with oakmoss, amber, patchouli, vetiver, musk and vanilla in the base. The recorded average is 3.79 from 5, based on 787 ratings.
Up top, blackcurrant bud and greenery give a tart, leafy impression. Mandarin offers momentary brightness before celery seed and anise lend an aromatic, faintly spiced character.
The heart turns distinctly floral, where rose meets jasmine. Ylang-ylang contributes a soft, golden warmth that smooths the bouquet.
Oakmoss and patchouli then establish the chypre base, supported by vetiver. That combination underlines the woody and earthy strands.
Amber, musk and vanilla mellow the close, tempering the initial crispness. Reported accords include mossy, green, woody, ambery and musky tones alongside gentle spice, patchouli and yellow florals.
Rated 3.79 out of 5 by 787 voters, it presents as a dry, well-framed example of its genre rather than a sugary floral.
It will suit wearers drawn to heritage floral chypres for women, especially those built around greens, oakmoss, vetiver and a rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang heart.
A faithful 1978 floral chypre: leafy currant and anise to open, a rose-led floral centre, and a moss, amber and patchouli base.
