Note Profile
About
Iced tea is scored as the flavoured cold drink, not as tea served cold. Wikipedia says it is 'normally mixed with fruit-flavoured syrup such as lemon and peach'. The trade journal says lemon and peach are 'by far the most popular fruit flavours' in the ready-to-drink category. That is the opposite emphasis from the published black-tea, ceylon-tea and assam-tea notes, where the leaf carries the note.
Scent Profile
Iced Tea smells of lemon and peach syrup first, bright and fruity, with a tail of strawberry and raspberry. Tea leaf sits behind the fruit rather than leading it, giving a dry, hay-like base. A sugary sweetness runs through it, and honey, brown sugar or maple syrup can replace the plain sugar. It reads as flavoured cold tea, not as tea served cold.

Origin
A prepared drink, not a perfumery material. Brewed Camellia sinensis, cooled, sweetened and usually flavoured. New England iced tea is moderately sweetened, and Chinese cooling infusions use chrysanthemum and kuding rather than tea leaf. No fragrance house publishes an iced-tea base. Any perfumery use is a reconstruction.
Usage in Perfumery
Measured 2026-08-23: 6 Parfumo placements across 5 brands, and none on Fragrantica. Use it where a tea note is wanted with fruit syrup and sugar on top rather than tannin underneath. The published earl-grey-tea note is the other citrus-over-tea option and it is a different build: bergamot oil infused into the dry leaf, present before brewing. This note's citrus is syrup stirred into a cold glass.
