Description:
Let’s dive into the nuanced world of tea in perfumery—this time, with a focus on Oolong.
While we’ve previously explored a Green Tea Matcha accord, Oolong tea offers a distinctly different aromatic profile. Matcha is known for its bold, bitter, grassy, and earthy facets. In contrast, Oolong—being partially oxidized and often roasted—develops a more layered, complex character.
Oolong tea accords reveal floral, earthy, and subtly sweet nuances, making them versatile and sophisticated additions to a fragrance composition.
The accord featured here is inspired by a traditional method of preparing darker Oolong teas—resulting in a milky, full-bodied scent with both freshness and depth.
Want to explore variations? Try replacing the milky facets (such as Sulfurol, Milk Lactone, and Methyl Laitone) with floral elements like Sampaquita Givco and Jasmine Sambac Absolute to create a bright, jasmine-tea-inspired accord.
As with all of our published accords, this one is meant to spark creativity. We encourage you to experiment and make it your own.
Let us know which notes or ingredients you’d love to explore next—we’re always happy to share more olfactive insights.
