Note Profile
Light, vegetal tea
Green tea in perfumery is characterized by a fresh, airy, and subtly bitter aroma with vegetal and slightly grassy nuances. It has a clean, dewy quality that can evoke the sensation of freshly steeped tea leaves. The note often evolves to reveal mild floral or hay-like undertones as it dries down.
Green tea absolute or extract is typically derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis through solvent extraction or infusion. The leaves are harvested, quickly steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation, and then processed to preserve their delicate aroma.
Perfumers use green tea primarily as a heart note to impart freshness and a naturalistic green character to fragrances. It blends well with citrus, light florals, and watery notes, and is often featured in modern, unisex, or clean-themed compositions.
