Which Should You Buy?
Photorealistic black tea in a transparent Iso E Super cloud: minimalist, clean, calming, and quietly sophisticated. A must for tea lovers and fans of understated, contemplative scents-but don't expect boldness or lasting sillage.
This one's a bit of a curveball from Serge Lutens. Some reckon it's a classy, unique take on fresh hay and vetiver, perfect for summer. Others are left scratching their heads, finding it too generic or just not what they expected from the house. Definitely a try-before-you-buy job.
