Which Should You Buy?
A cult favourite snatched from us too soon, Parfumée au Thé Rouge is an elegant, warm tea scent that inspires devotion despite its quiet nature. It's a divisive brew of sharp pepper and sweet fig, but a true icon.
This is a truly divisive fig fragrance. Some find it a heavenly, sophisticated green fig, while others are underwhelmed by its poor longevity and sillage, likening it to cheap fig air freshener. Love it or hate it, just expect a fleeting encounter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and often-cited longevity issues make it perfect for office wear or intimate casual settings, ensuring it's never overpowering. While some find it elegant enough for formal occasions, its easy-going nature lends itself more to relaxed environments.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its delicate sillage and fresh, clean profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. The perceived lack of lasting power by many means it's less suitable for occasions requiring significant longevity like formal events, yet its gentle character makes it acceptable for close-contact dates.
