Black Tea Perfume: Four Teas, Four States of Mind

Black Tea Perfume: Four Teas, Four States of Mind

Notes

A black tea perfume can go in four directions at once. Assam, Darjeeling, Milima and Kenilworth each become the starting point for a very different State of Mind fragrance.


Black Tea Is Never Just One Thing

Four State of Mind fragrances begin with black tea, and every black tea fragrance here ends up somewhere completely different.

The tea is part of the identity of each fragrance, connecting the ritual of tea with the state of mind expressed by the perfume. Explore the four pairings below and see where each one leads.
