Origin

This note is typically created using natural extracts and aroma molecules that replicate the scent of black tea infused with bergamot. Black tea absolute or infusions may be combined with natural or synthetic bergamot components to achieve the characteristic profile. The raw materials are sourced from tea-producing regions and citrus groves, then blended or reconstructed for use in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

It pairs well with citrus, floral, and woody notes, and can add complexity to both masculine and feminine fragrances. Its aromatic profile helps bridge green, citrus, and floral elements in a blend.
