  Red Pu-Erh tea is famous for its earthy fermented flavor; if you’ve tried it, this fragrance will sound familiar. That earthiness comes from the beet, but the first thing I thought of when smelling it was red tea, even though it’s not a note I wear. The beet and rose blend feels separate at times, but sometimes they blur together and remind me of apricot—a sweet fruity touch that appears occasionally, though it’s not constant and is subjective. The earthy side isn’t for everyone, but here it’s very clean. It makes you want to mist your sheets with Kyoto or stroll under the shade on a hot spring or summer day.

  Kyoto, what a surprise to see you so red, even though you’ve been hinting at it all along. At first, your opening wakes up the palate: you smell like carbonated water with glucose syrup, spices, and a ton of plants reminiscent of that Venezuelan-German aperitif I love so much, the Bitter. A sip that left the sweetness behind to become bitter and structured—not for everyone. You were a crush; I’ve been recognizing you little by little, like a ghost. Then come the bitter roses, mixed with that earthy beet. Your dry down stays solid, just as well as the vetiver that gives you structure. This sweet-and-sour blend suits you incredibly well; I feel so familiar with it. If you like classic liqueurs like bitter, Angostura, Cinzano, or ginger ale, you might just love this. But given its character, better to test it out first.
