Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial Tea EDP
A hyperrealistic jasmine tea that's got everyone chatting, Kilian Imperial Tea is a divisive stunner. Some find its photorealistic quality breathtaking, a true tea experience in a bottle. Others are less impressed, citing fleeting longevity and a linear composition for its premium price tag. You either love its delicate simplicity or you don't.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Venti Sublime EDP
Venti Sublime is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore indolic jasmine and green sophistication, it's a retro dream. But if you're not on board with its vintage charm, prepare to be underwhelmed.

Season and Occasion Fit

Imperial Tea

Seasons

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate projection and fresh, clean accords make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, avoiding any overbearing presence. While beautiful, its delicate nature and potential low longevity might not command attention for formal events, and opinions vary on its suitability for dates due to its subtlety.

Venti Sublime

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Built on green, citrus and white floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold, green, and white floral accords can be quite prominent, making it less suitable for everyday office wear.
