African Rooibos

by Sidonie Lancesseur

Chris Collins African Rooibos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. African Rooibos opens with Pepper, Cardamom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris and Tea, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Chris Collins's African Rooibos carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; some hail it as the ultimate tea scent-masterpiece, a truly unique and sophisticated aroma. Others, however, are left scratching their heads, finding it anything from 'musty' to 'baby wipes'. Love it or hate it, it's definitely a conversation starter.

About

African Rooibos opens with a lively, fresh burst of bergamot and spicy cardamom and pepper, quickly steeping into a rich tea heart. Orris lends a powdery elegance before settling into a warm, woody base of cedar, sweetened by tonka bean and a hint of the intriguing, honeyed immortelle. It's a complex journey from invigorating spice to comforting warmth.
