About

Assam Tea is a tea-note material used to evoke a robust, malty black-tea character. It is typically described as warm, slightly sweet, and gently earthy rather than green or airy.[1][6]

Scent Profile

Assam Tea smells rich, malty, and brewed, with a rounded black-tea impression. It often carries honeyed, toasted grain, and light woody-earthy nuances, giving it more depth and warmth than a simple fresh tea accord.[1][6]

Origin

In perfumery, Assam Tea generally refers to an accord or extract inspired by Assam tea from India, botanically associated with Camellia sinensis var. assamica.[1] It may be represented with natural tea materials, aroma chemicals, or a constructed accord rather than a single standardized ingredient.[1][5]

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Assam Tea mainly in the heart to add a tea facet with body and warmth.[1] It blends well with citrus, spices such as cardamom and cinnamon, woods, and musks, where it can soften brightness and add a brewed, comforting texture.[1][5]
