  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 background 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 latest. 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 love the development: honey, vanilla, leather, and tobacco. The honey and vanilla soften the leather and tobacco, reminding me of SL’s Cuir Mauresque at the end and Fumerie Turque close to the skin. Medium longevity and an elegant trail. Excellent work by Olivia Giacobetti. I recommend it for its intelligence and sincerity. These are the fragrances where you think, ‘How delicious!’ Tea for two is better than one alone; share it and you won’t regret the compliments. Cheers, colleagues.

  This perfume just arrived today, and to be honest, the first application didn’t knock me out. It didn’t disgust me, but it didn’t grab me immediately either. However, at 8 pm I took a shower again and reapplied it, and I must confess I regret judging it so quickly—I absolutely love it now! The opening is very aromatic; I sense green notes 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 test it for a few consecutive days to see what surprises it has in store.

  Very good; on my skin, it’s quite smoky. They say there are black teas like this, but to me, it evokes tobacco and black wood ash. There’s also that green vegetal sensation from the tea, the spices, and the dusty tone of the gingerbread. Honey and vanilla become more noticeable during the dry-down, which is excellent. It feels masterfully blended with quality ingredients; for a nose of that caliber, it performs nothing short of brilliantly.

  Aromatic and spicy, original and never disappointing. The green notes give it its soul. I love green perfumes because they feel like they have a future, and here L’Artisan offers a kaleidoscope that takes you from a summer tea for two to an evening stroll through a garden with oriental touches of ginger. 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 over, with a touch of honey and anise. Everything is correct, but it’s very smoky due to those tobacco leaves, which I don’t fully enjoy. Ideal for cold weather, probably unisex but leaning more towards men. Incredible performance. It’s a special and strange scent, so try it 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 notes. I love eating artichokes, but not in perfume. On paper, when it dries, it becomes more noticeable, but on my skin, once that phase passes, it seems like everything disappears.

  I really wish I liked this, and all the reviews I’ve read here sound amazing. But I can’t help but detect, amidst the acidity and metallic notes, a smell like artichokes. I love artichokes as a food, but I don’t see them working in a perfume. On paper, once it dries down, you can see more potential, but on my skin, once the artichoke phase passes, it seems like everything just disappears.

  This perfume is one of the legendary pillars of niche perfumery, dating back 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 pack of sweet light tobacco for rolling, and two slices of that wonderful French spice bread. The tea is the first thing to hit; they say it smells like Lapsang Souchong, though I don’t know it well. It’s not green or fresh, but warm and cozy. Soon comes the smell of tobacco leaf or rolling tobacco, which after a few more rough minutes starts to gain depth thanks to the sweet undertones embracing it. Here begins the magic for me. I love the smell of sweet tobacco, and here it fuses with ginger cookies, spice bread, vanilla… becoming very addictive. No wonder it’s Sebastian’s favorite tea (The Perfume Guy) and 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 aroma, I don’t care that it’s not a beast. More than once, people have given me good compliments when greeting me. Since its launch in 2001, it was a total success, discontinued around 2010, returned in 2015, and finally discontinued again towards 2023. I’d like to know what’s going on, if there’s a formula problem, or understand the reason for all the movement. Anyway, don’t miss trying it if you’re a lover of perfumes with tobacco, chai tea, and Christmas sweet vibes.

  A legendary niche classic that doesn’t need any more fame. It smells like pure art: hot tea, light tobacco for rolling, and French spice bread. The tea hits first, warm and cozy, nothing fresh. Then comes the tobacco, initially rough but softening with the sweet undertones. That’s the magic: sweet tobacco mixed with ginger cookies, bread, and vanilla—super addictive. No wonder it’s Sebastian’s favorite and created by Olivia Giacobetti. With such a rich scent, it doesn’t matter that it’s not a beast; I’ve gotten a thousand compliments when greeting people. Released in 2001, discontinued in 2010, returned in 2015, and gone again in 2023. What happened to the formula? Try it if you like tea, tobacco, and Christmas vibes. 🫖🍂🍪
