Teaology
Italian tea-infused skincare brand with a focused collection of tea-centered perfumes.
About Teaology
Teaology is an Italian beauty brand founded in 2015 by Cecilia Garofano and Paolo Bevegni. The company developed its identity around Tea Infusion Skincare, a patented approach that replaces water - normally the primary solvent in a cosmetic formula - with real tea infusion. The formulas are produced in Italy and use tea for its antioxidant compounds, including catechins, minerals, amino acids and vitamins. The brand has positioned itself in the clean-beauty space through vegan, cruelty-free products and packaging designed for easier recycling.
Teaology also has a small fragrance catalogue. Its perfumes include Black Rose Tea, Green Tea, and White Tea, with the fragrance database listing releases from 2017 through 2021 and collaborations with perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Amandine Clerc-Marie. Tea remains the brand's defining olfactory idea: the perfumes are built around tea facets supported by floral, citrus, fruity or woody notes rather than a broad conventional designer-perfume portfolio. Teaology is therefore best understood as an Italian skincare-led indie brand with a focused tea-based fragrance extension.

Brand Evolution
Teaology began as a skincare company in 2015, built around replacing water in formulas with real tea infusion. It later extended the same tea-centered identity into a small perfume collection, with documented releases spanning 2017 to 2021. The brand's development has remained focused rather than moving toward a large, trend-driven fragrance portfolio.
Quick Verdict
Teaology is more interesting for its coherent tea concept than for a large or highly experimental perfume range. Expect approachable, moderately projecting scents rather than powerful, complex extrait-style fragrances.
