Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial Tea

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.

Our Verdict - Décou-Vert

Divisive, perplexing, and at times downright unpleasant. What starts as a fresh, dewy floral quickly collapses into something synthetic and surprisingly ammonia-like. Some find beauty in its unique blend; others can't wash it off fast enough. Proceed with extreme caution and definitely don't blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Imperial Tea

Seasons

Best For:

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.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its initial fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear or an office setting if applied lightly. However, its often-criticised synthetic dry down and polarizing nature make it less ideal for dates or formal events where broad appeal is key. Performance is moderate, so it won't overwhelm in closer quarters.
