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
